Description

Hello,

I am looking at the following variables which are related to social support from family, friends, and partner/spouse:
scrundstnd; scrrely; scropenup; scfundstnd; scfrely; scfopenup; scpundstnd; scprely; scpopenup

I noticed that a proportion of responses are -8, which is "inapplicable".

Can I please confirm - are these respondents inapplicable for the questions because they indicated that they do not have these relationships (family, friends, or partner/spouse)? Or are there additional reasons they could be inapplicable?

Many thanks!

Hi Tassia,

You can find this in the universe (routing) for each of these questions. This information can be found in the pdf of the questionnaires available here: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/questionnaires/ It is also provided in the variable page accessible via the variable search feature on our website (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/variables/scrundstnd/), but note this will always be the universe from the last wave in which the question was asked (and the universe/routing may vary between waves).

For instance, for scrundstnd the universe is:

((GRIDVARIABLES.ModeType = 1 & CASISTART.scac = 1 Thru 3) | (GRIDVARIABLES.ModeType = 2|3)) // Mode is face-to-face and has agreed to self-completion OR mode is telephone OR mode is web And If (SCRELANY = 1) // If has any immediate family

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
