Description

Hi

I'm carrying out research into children's mental health and I'm using data from the youth questionnaire in Waves 1, 3, 5 and 7 of Understanding Society on the use of social media.

When I look at Wave 3, the variable c_ypnetcht has the description "how many hours do you spend playing games on a games console" while for the equivalent variable in Waves 1, 5 and 7 it is "how many hours do you spend chatting or interacting with friends through a social media website".

I also notice that the level of missingness for this variable is very different in Wave 3 (14-15%) compared to the equivalent variables in Waves 1, 5 and 7 (30-40%).

I would be grateful for any advice you could offer about this issue.

Many thanks
