Description
For adults 18 and older who completed the Social and Health Experiences (SHE) self-administered questionnaire (SDOHELIG), SUPTLKPHN indicates how often respondent talks on the phone/video to family, friends, or neighbors in typical week. SUPTLKPHN was fielded as one of seven questions about social support included in the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) supplement fielded via the 2021 SHE pencil-and-paper questionnaire. The SHE questionnaire was the first MEPS-HC questionnaire to be fielded using paper and web modes. Please see SUPFAMILY for more information about the Social Support variables included in the SDOH supplement.
