ALLERGY SKIN TEST                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
     Allergy skin reactivity testing was conducted on all examinees aged        
     6-19 years and on a random half-sample of examinees aged 20-59 years by    
     a trained examiner in the mobile examination center (MEC).                 
                                                                                
     Before skin testing, screening questions were asked to determine           
     medical safety exclusions.  Those excluded from testing were examinees     
     who:  usually did not have trouble breathing in their chest or lungs       
     but who were having trouble breathing at the time of the examination       
     (this trouble was NOT due to nasal congestion from a cold), usually had    
     trouble breathing in their chest or lungs and had more trouble             
     breathing at the time of the exam, had a severe response to allergen       
     skin testing previously, or had severe eczema or infection on both         
     arms.                                                                      
                                                                                
     Because this examination was administered to a selected subsample in       
     the examination center, the allergy sample weight (WTPFALG6) should be     
     used for data analysis.  For more information on the use of sample         
     weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic      
     and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).                               
                                                                                
     The allergy skin test consisted of the evaluation of immediate             
     hypersensitivity reactions to any of 10 licensed, commercially             
     available, FDA-approved, standardized allergens as well as positive        
     and negative controls.  The extracts were indoor allergens                 
     (Dermatophagoides farinae (house mite), cat, German cockroach),            
     outdoor allergens (short ragweed, perennial rye, Alternaria alternata,     
     Bermuda grass, Russian thistle, white oak), and a food allergen            
     (peanut).  The positive control was histamine, and the negative control    
     was the glycerinated diluent.  Examiners prepared fresh allergen           
     solutions upon arrival at each MEC site.                                   
                                                                                
     Hypersensitivity reactions were evaluated after administering the          
     allergens on an examinee's forearms.  Allergens were applied using the     
     prick-puncture technique at 12 skin sites (one for each allergen and       
     the positive and negative controls) determined by a clear, plastic         
     template.  The flare and wheal areas were delineated with a marking        
     pen 15 minutes after the skin was punctured and the allergens were         
     applied.                                                                   
                                                                                
     The length and width of the flare and wheal were measured with a 100-      
     mm flexible, clear, plastic ruler.  Length was defined as the longest      
     diameter of the reaction, and width was defined as the diameter            
     perpendicular to the length at its midpoint.  If a reaction had any        
     dimension 3 mm or greater, all four dimensions (length and width of        
     flare and wheal) were measured and recorded.  If all four dimensions       
                                                                                
                                                                                
     were less than 3 mm, zeroes were recorded for all the measurements.        
     Confluence was noted for both allergens if two reactions overlapped.       
     For details of the allergy testing protocol, see the Training Manual       
     for Allergy Component (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).                                  
                                                                               
                                                                                
     The NHANES III allergy skin test was administered by health technicians    
     who were trained to perform the testing.  Training occurred before the     
     examination period at special training sessions held at NCHS or at the     
     offices of the contractor responsible for survey operations.  The          
     component was monitored on a regular basis by the component                
     consultant, and retraining was conducted annually.  In addition to         
     data collection training, the technicians were trained to recognize        
     and respond to generalized hypersensitivity reactions.  A physician        
     was in the MEC during all examinations, and drugs for treating             
     systemic allergic reactions were available.                                
                                                                                
     Information on respiratory symptoms related to allergies can be found      
     in the Household Adult Data File (for examinees aged 17 years and over)    
     and the Household Youth Data File (for examinees aged 2 months-16          
     years).                                                                    
                                                                                
     The allergen data fields are blank for examinees who were excluded for     
     safety reasons.  For those examinees who were eligible for the allergy     
     skin test but for whom allergen data were not collected, the allergen      
     measurement fields have "888  Blank but applicable" values.  In most       
     cases, these missing data were due to examinees not participating in       
     the allergy skin test, usually due to time constraints.  In other          
     cases, however, data on some but not all allergens were collected.         
     These gaps in the data were due to refusals to continue the testing or     
     to receive specific allergens.                                             
                                                                                
     All measurements were taken within the acceptable time of 15 plus or       
     minus 5 minutes except for one examinee who was measured at 23 minutes     
     after the administration of the allergens and the controls.  Therefore,    
     the variables indicating the minutes from administration to reading for    
     each allergen were not included on this data file.                         
                                                                                
     Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal data         
     consistency.

          Because of the time interval between allergen placement and           
          reading, the examiner number was entered twice.  Examiner number 1    
          placed the allergens, and examiner 2 measured the reactions.
