A large set of core questions are asked every year, while others are asked every few years. To balance the need to ask about a large number of topics and reduce respondent burden, those aspects which are not expected to be changed quickly are not asked every year. These are referred to as rotating modules. If you search for a variable using the online variable search engine, then the frequency of variables can be seen next to the variable under the header “Waves”. For an overview of the question module frequency see the long term content plan.
