(1) NMES research files are intended for users who are familiar with NMES public use tapes and have experience analyzing complex survey data. This data collection has not been subjected to the same level of editing and quality control as the NMES public use tapes. The data in these files should be analyzed and interpreted with care. (2) Data in Parts 1-3 can be linked to each other and to all other public use datasets from the 1987 IPC by using the person identifier (SPERIDX) and the facility identifier (OFIDX). Data in Parts 4 through 7 can be linked to other HS files by using the person identifier (PIDX).
