2	FN0064	The race groups White, Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and two or more races include people of Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin. People of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Starting with 1999 data, race-specific estimates are tabulated according to the 1997 "Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity" and are not strictly comparable with estimates for earlier years. The race-specific estimates are for people who reported only one racial group; the category two or more races includes people who reported more than one racial group. Starting with 2003 data, race responses of other race and unspecified multiple race are treated as missing, and then race is imputed if these were the only race responses. Most people with a race response of other race are of Hispanic origin. See Sources and Definitions, Hispanic origin; Race, available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions.htm.
3	FN0069	FPL is federal poverty level. Poverty level is based on the ratio of the family's income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate poverty threshold defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Missing family income data are imputed for 1997 and beyond. See Sources and Definitions, Family income; Poverty, available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions.htm.
4	FN0091	The insured category includes private, Medicaid, military plans, other government-sponsored health plans, and Medicare. People who reported both Medicaid and private coverage are classified as having private coverage. Starting with 1997 data, state-sponsored health plan coverage is included as Medicaid coverage. Starting with 1999 data, coverage by the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is included as Medicaid coverage. People not covered by private insurance, Medicaid, CHIP (starting in 1999), state-sponsored or other government-sponsored health plans (starting in 1997), Medicare, or military plans are considered to have no health insurance coverage. People with only Indian Health Service coverage are considered to have no health insurance coverage. See Sources and Definitions, Health insurance coverage, available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions/health-insurance-coverage.htm.
5	FN0106	Current asthma is based on parent or knowledgeable adult responses to both questions, “Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that [child] had asthma?” and “Does [child] still have asthma?” See Sources and Definitions, Asthma, available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions/asthma.htm.
6	FN0107	Asthma attack in the past 12 months is based on parent or knowledgeable adult responses to both questions, “Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that [child] had asthma?” and “During the past 12 months, has [child] had an episode of asthma or an asthma attack?” See Sources and Definitions, Asthma, available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions/asthma.htm.
7	FN0495	Estimates for total include all other races not shown separately and those with unknown sex, unknown poverty level, or unknown health insurance status.
8	NA0004	Data not available. This is represented by a triple dash (- - -) flag.
9	NA0007	The reliability of estimates determines if and how they are shown. Estimates flagged with an asterisk may be unreliable and should be interpreted with caution. Estimates not shown do not meet reliability criteria. Starting with 2016 data, the reliability of survey percentages is assessed using multistep data presentation standards for proportions from the National Center for Health Statistics. For data before 2016, the reliability of survey percentages was assessed using relative standard errors. For more information, see Sources and Definitions, Data presentation standards for proportions; Relative standard error (RSE), available from: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/sources-definitions.htm.
10	NT0079	In 2019, the National Health Interview Survey questionnaire was redesigned, and other changes were made to weighting and design methodology. In charts, this may be represented by a dashed vertical line. Data for 2019 and beyond have not been fully evaluated for comparability with earlier years. For more information on the 2019 National Health Interview Survey redesign and evaluation of the redesign on selected indicators, see: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/2019_quest_redesign.htm.
