2023 SIPP: Inconsistent Multiple Partner Fertility Information

There are a few person-level records where the respondent’s year of entry into multiple partner fertility (TMPF_YR) is inconsistent with their birth history when analyzing the following variables: TNUM_CBU (Number of child bearing unions), TCBYR_1-20 (Birth year of children numbers 1-20), and TYEAR_FB (Year of first birth). Data users should be aware of these cases when doing analyses of multiple partner fertility.
