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: 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.

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

Demographics
{Have you/Has SP} ever served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, military Reserves, or National Guard? (Active duty does not include training for the Reserves or National Guard, but does include activation, for service in the U.S. or in a foreign country, in support of military or humanitarian operations.)

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.
