Description

Definition
INSHHANY indicates whether a member of the household is covered by health insurance. Question wording varies across samples; see Comparability.

The information in INSHHANY is taken from the household record and may apply to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
