How to use this document
A blank shaded cell in the table indicates that the questionnaire topic, measure or lab test listed under the subject column is not included in the corresponding collection cycle. For tables 1 through 4, the cell
indicates the age ranges for which the questionnaire topic, measure or lab test is applicable. For tables 5 and 6, a check mark indicates that the particular analyte was tested for in the air or water samples
obtained from the respondent households.
When combining or comparing data between cycles, see the most recent instruction document for combining CHMS data, as well as the Data Dictionary and User Guide for information and relevant
procedures.
