Description

Hello,
My Masters project is looking at the possible association between commuting times and CRP levels. I have a few points that are not clear for me from the user guides. Firstly, I wish to do a cross-sectional analysis of Wave 2 data only e.g. main interview, nurse visit and blood sample data. However the cross sectional weight provided in the guide is for a combination of Wave 2 and Wave 3. Could you provide me with the weight for Wave 2 only?

My 2nd main area of confusion was that in the main interview questions for wave 2 there doesn't seem to be a clear way of distinguishing if someone takes anti-inflammatories, statins (not if they are new to taking statins, but if they are currently taking statins, prescribed or not) or contraceptive/hrt drugs, however this is important for crp. Is there any way to access this information without having a special licence?

Thank you,

Tracy
