inapplicable in fwintvd_dv
60%
Description
Hi,
For this row in fwintvd_dv:
inapplicable -8 39856 23.67%
Are these all participants that were enrolled and enumerated but never actually interviewed? Can I verify if that means these participants can all be excluded from analysis?
In addition, I'm looking at migrant status and fruit and vegetable consumption and currently I'm creating a baseline characteristics table. On the xwavedat dataset, it seems there are 38 participants wrongly categorised as uk-born in the generation, ukborn, and bornuk_dv variables.
Thank you for everything that you do for this dataset,
Emily

Hi Emily,
fwintvd_dv is derived from the wave-level individual interview outcome variable (w_ivfio), taking the first wave where ivfio indicates a full or proxy individual interview (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/variables/a_ivfio/).
-8 means that there is no wave in which ivfio shows a qualifying completed (full/proxy) interview for that person.
So these are mostly enumerated sample members never interviewed across the waves covered.
"On the xwavedat dataset, it seems there are 38 participants wrongly categorised as uk-born in the generation, ukborn, and bornuk_dv variables." Would be able to provide more details about this issue?
Best wishes,
