ARCHIVE NOTES

Study: 3561

Please note the following

1 The following variable where used m the creation of derwed variables

INDIV94 - MATPRIND94 - AGE18, MONTHTC, CHILD1HHOLD94 - AGEMATWAITL94 - I

2 The variable QTR represents the quarter of the year m which the mtervlew took place

1 April, May, June 19942 July, August, September, 19943 October, November, December 19944 January, February, March 1995

3 On the household file the variable YTETMPO has a variable label ‘whether on agovernment trammg scheme’ and the following value labels

1 ‘with an employer who was prowdmg work experience or practical trammg’2 ‘at a college or trammg centre’3 ‘temporarily away from an employer or project’4 ‘temporarily away from a college or trammg centre’

4 On the watmg hst fie the variable GROUP IS a serial number to mdlcate the number ofthe group wlthm the household

5 Where the value labels on the portable file and m the questionnaire confhct, the correctversion WIII always be the one on the portable file

Page 2: ARCHIVE NOTES - UK Data Servicedoc.ukdataservice.ac.uk/doc/3561/mrdoc/pdf/a3561uab.pdf · 4 ‘temporarily away from a college or trammg centre’ 4 On the watmg hst fie the variable

; 3561

There are 6 fdes with the following data The fde name m shown m brackets

1 Household file - mformatlon about each sampled household mtervlewed(hhold94 MC)

2 Indiwdual file - mformatlon about each mdlvldual m each household mtervlewed(mdw94 esc)

3 Famdy umt fde - mformat]on about each famdy umt m each household mterv[ewed(famun94 esc)

4 Waiting list fde - mformatlon about each waltmg hst group m each household

mtetwewed (wald94 esc)5 Prwate renting tenancy group file - mformat[on about each private renting tenancy

group (prgrp94 esc)

6 Tenancy group mdwldual ffle - mformatlon about each mdwldual m each tenancygroup mterwewed (pnnd94 esc)

The results presented m the Housing m England 1994/5 report were weighted to take account ofnon-response and grossed up to gwe population estunates The percentages were based on thesegrossed and weighted figures hmtructtons are gwen below on which we@rt variable to use foreach data fde Please note the grossed figures are m thousands, so need to be mult[phed by

1000 to gwe the actual populahon figure

For analyses based on the majority of variables, the household fde should be weighted by the

variable H4A A number of questions (I e the attdude questions) were only included m the

questlonnaue for 6 months (from October 1994 to March 1995) If analyses are to be conductedon these variables and population esornat= are reqmred, the data should be weighted by thevariable H4ATT (which Msimply H4A rnultlphed by 2) The variable names of those variables

added for only 6 months start wdh either HAS, PHA or EHCS

The we[ght variable for this fde M H4AT As with the household fde some of the attitudequestions were only m the questloma[re for 6 months These all begin HAS or PHA. If snalyslsat the tenancy group level IS done on these questions a new weight variable wdl need to becreated. TIus should be H4AT rnultlphed by 2 However, for tenancy groups where the head oftenancy group M also the head of household dre attitude questions have already been copiedonto the household fde

If the mdmdual, waltmg hst, fsmdy umt or tenancy group md[wdual fdes are to be analysedthen the data must be weighted The variable H4A should be copied from the household fde andused to weight the waltmg hst, Urdwldual and farmly umt data The variable H4AT should becopied from the tenancy group fde and used to weight the tenancy group mdmdual data
