Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #1336 (Resolved): Religion in Wave 9https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/13362020-04-28T10:51:20ZDharmi Kapadiadharmi.kapadia@manchester.ac.uk
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>In Wave 9, there seems to be a lot of missing data for the religious affiliation variable; I am using i_ff_oprlg1. Does this variable take religion from all previous waves? If so, is there a reason why there is so much missing data? I used this variable and i_ff_oprlg (belongs to a religion) to work out that 11% of the extra 5 minute sample have missing data.</p>

<p>Hello, <br />Please can you tell me when Wave 6 will be released?<br />Thanks, <br />Dharmi</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #509 (Closed): Using household identifier from xwave...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/5092016-02-22T11:53:44ZDharmi Kapadiadharmi.kapadia@manchester.ac.uk
<p>Hello,<br />Please could you let me know if the following way is valid for merging household data into individual files. I am asking because I am aware that household identifier changes across waves if the household composition changes.</p>
<p>For my analysis, I want to have a measure of household income at Waves 1 through to 5. Therefore in order to do this, I brought the household identifiers (w_hidp) from xwaveid.dta for Waves 1 to 5, into the e_indresp.dta files using a m:1 merge. I then matched the household income from a_hhresp.dta to e_indresp.dta directly using a m:1 merge using a_hidp that I had previously brought in from the xwaveid.dta file. I repeated this for Waves 2 to 5. Is it correct to use the household identifier from the xwaveid.dta file, in this way? I thought it was, because even if the individual changes household over time, matching income from household files on the household id from a specific wave ensures that the observation is correct for that point in time.</p>
<p>The alternative method would be to merge household income into individual level files for each wave and then perform a 1:1 merge from individual files from Waves 1, 2, 3 and 4 into the Wave 5 file, matching on pidp. However, when I used this method, it resulted in 4,000 more cases of missing data for Wave 1.</p>
<p>Any advice that you can give on this issue would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Is there any written documentation on the sample design for the additional immigrant and ethnic minority boost sample to be added in Wave 6?</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Please can you let me know the date of the Wave 5 data release?</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>On page 63 of the User Manual, it says that non-response to Wave 2 (for the construction of individual cross sectional weights) is modelled "with covariates taken from responses to UKHLS Wave 2 household grid and household questionnaire".</p>
<p>1. Can you provide any more detail on the specific covariates that were used?</p>
<p>2. Were any individual level covariates used to predict this non-response, given that this was modelled for the construction of individual level weights?</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I wanted to know if unconditional longitudinal individual response rates have been calculated for Wave 2 onwards (defined as the proportion of the sample responding that are eligible at current wave and all previous waves). The user guide (Knies, 2014) does not contain this. Instead, Table 5 on page 16 in the User Guide gives the longitudinal re-interview rates (this is the conditional cross-sectional response rate for Wave 2).</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>There are a lot of missing values (33.9%) for the variable b_ff_ukborn in Wave 2. As this question was asked face to face rather than self-complete, this seems like an unusually high level to me. Is there an explanation for this?</p>

<p>Hello, <br />Can you tell me if there are any nurse health assessments planned for future waves of the survey? Further, are there plans to undertake these with the Ethnic Minority Boost (EMB) sample? Wave 2 undertook health assessments with the GPS, and Wave 3 with the BHPS sample.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>There are 565 households in the above file which do not have weights (b_hhdenub_xw). Can you tell me the reason for this? These households have individuals with data that have been sampled in the individual file (b_indresp).</p>
<p>Further, there are 10 people in the individual file who cannot be matched with data in the household file, because their households do not have records. These are the b_hidp numbers that were not found in the household file.</p>

<p>Hello, <br />I have looked through c_indresp file for the data relating to the Self-Completion Best Friends Module, which is in the Wave 3 mainstage questionnaire. However, I cannot find these data in either the data dictionary or the STATA file. Please can you tell me what has happened to these data?</p>

<p>Hello<br />Will Special Licence Access to Wave 3 be available at the same time as the standard access in December 2013?</p>
<p>Many thanks, <br />Dharmi</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #160 (Closed): Mental health service use datahttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/1602013-06-24T11:22:21ZDharmi Kapadiadharmi.kapadia@manchester.ac.uk
<p>I would like to know if any of the waves of Understanding Society thus far have collected data on use of NHS services, particularly mental health services? I cannot see anything in the questionnaires that would indicate that these data have been collected but I am aware that the BHPS did collect data on use of psychotherapist in some waves. Are there plans to collect these kind of data in the future in Understanding Society? If so, do you know which wave(s) this will be in?</p>
<p>Many thanks and best wishes, <br />Dharmi</p>
