Hello support forum,
I think there might be an issue with the religion variable (l_oprlg1) in wave 12. I suspect this because nearly all the people who report belonging to both the Bangladeshi and Pakistani ethnic group (l_racel values 10 and 11) have l_oprlg1 = 11, indicating Christian (no specific denomination) religion. This can't be right - in other waves the vast majority of these ethnic groups report being Muslim. There are also some weird patterns for other ethnic groups, but this is the clearest indication of a mistake.
I therefore wonder if there is a coding issue for the values of l_oprlg1. Is this the right place to raise this issue to be looked into?
Many thanks,
Laurence
