Description

Dear UKHLS team,
In the telephone interview version of the second wave (May 2020) of the Covid study, the caring module contains a question carechange2 (page 30 of the attached questionnaire). This asks: "Thinking back to earlier this year, before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Did you provide help or support to family, friends or neighbours who do not live in the same house/flat as you then?" with the response options of "Yes" and "No". However in the data file cb_indresp_t.dta, the variable cb_carechange2 does not appear to have responses relating to that question, and instead appears to contain an indicator of whether the respondent mentioned the second response option in the previous question (carechange1), as there are variables cb_carechange1, cb_carechange2, cb_carechange3, cb_carechange4, cb_carechange5 each containing "Mentioned" or "Not mentioned" responses for the five response options from the carechange1 question. Additionally, I think that the variable cb_carechange2 does not correspond to the question carechange2, as the question was only asked to respondents who said they did not provide care in the last four weeks (caring==2), but in the data file the respondents with valid answers for cb_carechange2 all said they did provide care in the last four weeks (caring==1). Would you be able to advise me what variable contains the responses to the carechange2 question?

Many thanks.

Best wishes,
Laurence Rowley-Abel
