<ul></ul><p>Hello,</p>
<p>I just wanted to add some comments on the religion distribution in 1997 and 1999.</p>
<p>I take only those people who participated in both waves, 1997 and 1999, and find weird changes.<br />For example, in 1997 75 people reported being Jewish. However, in 1999 - only 37.<br />Another example, in 1999 the 267 Methodist suddenly popped up while in 1997 only 61 people reported being Methodist (again I compare only those who presented both in 1997 and 1999 waves, so, I would expect a higher level of consistency)</p>
<p>Checking, for example, what those 267 Methodist reported in 1997, one of my colleagues suggested that probably there is a labeling mistake. This is what he says for these Methodists: Look at the Methodists: they were coded 5 in 1997 and 7 in 1999. In 1999, the Free Church / Free Presbyterians were coded 5. It appears to me that incorrect labels (those from 1999) have been attached to the values for 1997, because the 192 people in your table below would obviously have been Methodists.</p>
<p>Maybe this finding can help you.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1275: Religion affiliation BHPS Wave 7 and 9https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/1275?journal_id=47922019-11-18T15:40:54ZStephanie Autys.auty@essex.ac.uk

<p>Could you confirm whether you are using the harmonised dataset? If so, are you looking at the harmonised variables, bw_oprlg1, or the original BHPS variables, bw_oprlg1_bh?</p>

<ul></ul><p>Dear Stephanie,</p>
<p>I am using the harmonised dataset and, yes, I am looking at bw_oprlg1.</p>

<p>This appears to be a coding error in bg_oprlg1. I have referred it to the data team to correct it, but in the meantime you can use bg_oprlg1_bh which is the original BHPS variable, and recode it to match the Understanding Society codes as in bi_oprlg1.</p>
