Participant move between waves 2 and 3
100%
Description
Dear technical support team,
I would like to enquire about identifying if participants have moved location in the Understanding Society study. I have seen this come up in previous issues raised (e.g., support #455) and reviewed these. However, currently I am using public access data, and read in the user manual (6849_ip_waves1-8_user_manual_June_2016.v3.1) on page 9 ‘the individual interview outcome (w_ivfio) indicating that the individual has moved.’
Can I use this as a measure that the participants are still in the same location (for example between waves 2 and 3)? Any information would be much appreciated. Especially if you don’t think this is an appropriate approach.
Many thanks

DEar Leanne,
There is a question asked at the “household” level about whether the household is still residing at the issued address – it is a household level indicator, but if there is a split-off from the issued household, then that split-off is put into a new household with the original issued address appearing at that question, so for a split-off individual, they would have a mover flag at that question (Origadd). If we are informed of a change-of-address in between waves (where a whole household have all moved, all to the same new address), we update the sample database and so the new address is fed-forward as the “issued address” and so the move may not be picked up in the interview. However, there is a flag in the data to indicate that this is the case (ff_allmoved=1).
Best wishes, Victoria.
