Description
The nih_errand data element records responses to the prompt, or a congruently meaning prompt, "Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, do you have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping?". Equivalent prompts are: - "Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, do you have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping? (15 years of age or older)" RADx-UP - "Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, do you have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping?" RADx-rad - "Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, do you have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping? (15 years old or older)" RADx-Tech - "Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, do you have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping?" RADx-DHT The values for this data element are integers that come from a list of 5 permissible integer values. The nih_errand data element is the result of the harmonization of other RADx program data elements: disability_errands RADx-UP; errand_dis RADx-rad; doctor_shopping RADx-Tech; dht_errand RADx-DHT Note that the meaning of the value 97 is context specific and depends on the subset of permissible value used by a specific study (not all studies presented the full set of permissible values documented here for this data element). Therefore, the meaning of the value 97 in an individual data record MUST be determined by referring to the original data dictionary for the non-harmonized data in that study.
