Description
For children ages 2 to 17 who have ever been given advice about having regular dental check-ups by a doctor or other health provider (DENADV), DENADVWHN reports when the doctor or other health provider gave the advice about having regular dental check-ups.
IPUMS MEPS reports the universe for each variable based on a thorough review of the original MEPS documentation. Investigating the data may reveal cases that do not meet the stated universe. Users are encouraged to validate universes for their analyses.
DENADVWHN is part of a series of questions asked about child preventive care, which is collected on the Child Preventive Health Supplement. See HGTMEAS for more information on the series of child preventive care questions and LESSHLTHY for more information on the Child Preventive Health Supplement.
