Description

I wanted to clarify the interpretation of the variable 'trainany' in the annual event history module.

The variable is labelled 'Training since last interview' but the accompanying text in the questionnaire reads ' In the last 12 months, that is since [interview month] [interview year - 1] , have you done any [other] training schemes or courses'

For some interviewees their last interview may be more than 12 months ago, sometimes much more. However given the explicit wording of the question, which does not in fact refer to the last interview, it seems fair to me to label it as 'Training in the last 12 months?'

Is that correct or have I missed something.

Thanks in advance,
Laura
