Harmonization summary
Scientific safeguard
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
Each variable first shows the current qualified assessment used by Study Builder, followed by cycle-specific source evidence and method chronology.
Adjustment required · high confidence
A methodological discontinuity falls inside the selected cycle span. Naive pooling of raw values across the flagged boundary is not recommended unless CDC/NCHS provides a defensible calibration or comparability procedure.
