<p>Hello Laura,</p>
<p>Typically, upon receiving information from the field agency, we process the fed forward variables and return them to the fieldwork to implement in the subsequent wave questionnaire. You can verify the coding for variable ff_hadcvvac in the "variables used for routing" section of the wave 8 or 9 questionnaires.</p>
<p>The universe for the question "Had covid-19 vaccine" (hadcvvac) is defined as if ff_hadcvvac = 3, indicating that the respondent has not reported in a previous month that they had received a coronavirus vaccine. For waves 8 and 9, the routing is correct; only observations coded as ch_ff_hadcvvac = 3 have information on ch_hadcvvac, and similarly for ci_ff_hadcvvac = 3 and ci_hadcvvac. However, the routing does not cross-reference the fed forward variable against the actual response in the previous wave, meaning the fed forward variable in wave 9 is compared with the actual response in wave 8. I’m going to ask our Covid-19 team and give you an update as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Regarding the booster dose, what I meant was that respondents who did not receive a vaccine in the previous month of wave 9 (ci_ff_hadcvvac = 3) are reported as having one or two vaccine doses in wave 7 and two vaccinations in wave 9. Therefore, those who received more than two doses are those who received a booster jab. Since we do not have this as a response option, respondents had to choose options 1 or 2. Additionally, around 80% of these respondents were above 50 years old, the first group to receive the booster jab.</p>
<p>Once I get a response from our Covid-19 team I’ll let you know. Please feel free to send us any issues or questions about the Study. Happy to help.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful.</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br />Roberto Cavazos<br />Understanding Society User Support Team</p>

<p>Dear Roberto,</p>
<p>Thank you for your kind and exhaustive answer.</p>
<p>Everything is clearer now. I'll just wait for your update on how the fed-forward variables relate to the variables they should reference from previous waves.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am looking to access the data to use the derived income variables (w_fimnnet_dv). Could you let me know under what access it is under on the UK Data Service as those variables don't appear to be available in the dataset I am using (Understanding Society: Waves 1-8, 2009-2017 and Harmonised <br />BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009. 11th Edition.

<p>Joe,</p>
<p>Thank you. Questions 14-16 here <a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/working-papers/2024-01.pdf">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/working-papers/2024-01.pdf</a> can answer many of your questions.</p>
<p>If you are pooling cross-sectionally, you should use cross-sectional weights. In terms of levels LSOA should be your highest level, followed by psu, individual and time point. Use self-completion cross-sectional weights (preferably scaled) for your analysis. You probably would want to create a new weight variable and assign the relevant weight values to it.</p>
