2022 SIPP: Inconsistencies in Fertility Universes

There are a few person-level records where the universe of a respondent’s year of birth (TCBYR_1-6), or year of entry into multiple partner fertility (TMPF_YR) is correct but is inconsistent with the corresponding status flags (ACBYR_1-6, AMPF_YR).

Data users should be aware of these cases when analyzing Fertility data.
