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

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.

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

Relevant boundaries: 2007-2008 → 2009-2010 · 2009-2010 → 2011-2012 · 2011-2012 → 2013-2014 · 2013-2014 → 2015-2016

Praxis harmonization actions
  • Verify merge grain, companion variables, and component-specific analytic guidance for the new file context.
  • Review the adjacent codebooks/methods. Keep this boundary as documentation variation unless source evidence confirms a substantive method or instrument change.
  • 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.
  • Apply CDC/NCHS comparability or calibration guidance where available. If equivalence is not established, preserve separate method periods or perform sensitivity analyses rather than naively pooling raw values.
