Scientific safeguard

Qualified assessment is authoritative; chronology remains supporting evidence.

Praxis separates source-stated method or instrument changes from automated differences in CDC/NCHS method text. The qualified harmonization assessment below is the researcher-facing conclusion; method chronology explains the underlying evidence and does not override that adjudication.

Variable-by-variable chronology

Qualified harmonization assessment and indexed evidence

Each variable first shows the current qualified assessment used by Study Builder, followed by cycle-specific source evidence and method chronology.

Qualified Praxis harmonization assessment

Compatible with harmonization · moderate confidence

No blocking method discontinuity is identified inside the selected cycle span, but one or more longitudinal changes require explicit harmonization conditions before pooling.

Evidence provenance: Praxis automated inference from indexed CDC/NCHS evidence

Relevant boundaries: 1999-2000 → 2001-2002 · 2001-2002 → 2003-2004

Praxis harmonization actions
  • Apply cycle-specific eligibility rules and restrict the pooled analytic population to a defensible common target population.
  • Verify merge grain, companion variables, and component-specific analytic guidance for the new file context.
