<p>I am passing on your query about age_dv to the data team and will get back to you wth their response.</p>
<p>racel_dv in the file xwavedat combines responses to <strong>race</strong> and <strong>racel</strong> reported in BHPS and racel* reported in UKHLS. These questions are asked only once, first time someone is interviewed, and that information is used to created racel_dv.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Hi Abigail,</p>
<p>Have you read the variable note and the input variables mentioned on the variable page? <a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/age_dv">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/age_dv</a></p>

<ul></ul><p>Hello Alita,</p>
<p>I have read this variable note. But one of the input variables, dob_dv, is based on birthy. That's why I am asking whether age_dv = istrtdaty - birthy. In most cases, dob_dv is missing, whilst birthy has non-missing entries. I would assume that birthy is the source variable for dob_dv, a derived variable. Another input variable for age_dv is intdat_dv. Similar to dob_dv, intdat_dv has many missing cases/cells, but istrtdaty has non-missing information to which I can refer. So, if i refer to istrtdaty, birthy, and age_dv, there are many instances wherein the difference between the first two do not result in the values indicated for age_dv. I tried looking at the variables dobm_dv and dob_dv, but most are missing or inapplicable entries. What should i do if there are discrepancies under age_dv when looking at individuals being interviewed over many waves and the their ages "evolve" through time do not make logical sense?</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1372: Question about age of respondents based on age_dv, and racel_dv (Re-created as original was deleted)https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/1372?journal_id=51642020-07-03T13:01:17ZAlita Nandi
<ul><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>30</i> to <i>60</i></li></ul><p>For the 9 wave of UKHLS data:</p>
<p>The variable w_birthy was checked for consistency across the waves. After resolving the inconsistencies, the variable doby_dv was created.</p>
<p>The interview date, w_istrtdat? is only available for adult interviews. This information was imputed for children and adult non-respondents from their household interview dates and recorded in w_intdaty_dv. See the variable note for this variable for details on how it was created.<br /><a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/intdaty_dv">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/intdaty_dv</a></p>
<p>Then using dob?_dv and intdat?_dv the variable w_age_dv was created. Here ? represents y m d - year, month & day. The year of birth variables are available in levels of data, while month of birth is available in SL version & Secure access version, while day of birth is only available in Secure version of the data. See<br /><a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/age_dv">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/age_dv</a><br />The imputation flag for this variable is w_age_if</p>
<p>For the 18 BHPS waves, the variable bw_age_dv was computed using the interview date variables (bw_intdat?) and date of birth variables (bw_birth?). But unlike for the UKHLS waves, bw_birth? were not checked for consistency across the waves. So, you will find a handful of cases where a respondent's age has decreased over the waves. If you want to discuss how to resolve these cases please email us at <a class="email" href="mailto:usersupport@understandingsociety.ac.uk">usersupport@understandingsociety.ac.uk</a> and we will forward your query to Gundi.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1372: Question about age of respondents based on age_dv, and racel_dv (Re-created as original was deleted)https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/1372?journal_id=52592020-08-14T16:21:43ZAlita Nandi
