Why do some of the questions under the topics “Women’s Health” and “Race/Ethnicity and Health” seem unrelated to women or specific racial or ethnic groups?
Sometimes there are questions about general health topics that are only asked of women, or of members of specific racial or ethnic groups. Therefore, there may be items under the subtopic “Blacks/African-Americans and Health” that are about a general health topic, such as diet, but they appear under this subtopic because they were only asked of African-Americans. When you view details such about a particular question, the source information that appears below the question/response percentages will tell you what group was asked that particular question (such as all adults, or only African-Americans, or only women).
