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
Evidence signals: source-derived
Relevant boundaries: 2011-2012 → 2013-2014 · 2013-2014 → 2015-2016 · 2015-2016 → 2017-2018 · 2017-2018 → 2017-2020
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.

No normalized longitudinal change evidence is available for this variable. Absence of events must not be interpreted as proof of cross-cycle equivalence.

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.
- Apply cycle-specific eligibility rules and restrict the pooled analytic population to a defensible common target population.

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.
- Apply cycle-specific eligibility rules and restrict the pooled analytic population to a defensible common target population.
- Confirm that the construct and coding are unchanged before pooling or recoding.
