Public Use File (PUF) Data Dictionaries
Each CHIS public use data file is accompanied by a data dictionary that describes its contents (including a brief description of variable, the universe/population answering the question, and the value range of the variable) and that provides a summary of the survey methodology.
Constructed Variable Documentation
