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 · 2003-2004 → 2005-2006 · 2005-2006 → 2007-2008 · 2007-2008 → 2009-2010
Praxis harmonization actions
- Verify merge grain, companion variables, and component-specific analytic guidance for the new file context.
- Select the weight appropriate to each cycle and subsample; when pooling cycles, construct the combined weight according to NHANES guidance rather than reusing a single-cycle weight unchanged.
- Confirm that the construct and coding are unchanged before pooling or recoding.
