Redmine Support #1618 (Resolved): Measuring attacks in the home using wave 1 module on harassment. Q'aire...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16182021-12-08T17:00:16Zvanessa gash
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Might you be able to help?</p>
<p>The variable lables are inconsistent with the questionnaire grid for the harassment module which asks the EMBS where attacks took place in wave 1. Which is correct please, see attachment for further details.</p>
<p>with thanks,</p>

<p>Can we be told whether the extra 5 minutes worth of questions for EMBS and GP sub-samples occured at the end of the CAPI interviews, or whether the sequencing is consistent with layout of the mainstage questionnaires.</p>

<p>I am trying to create a UK born variable for all UKHLS members across waves. There doesn’t seem to be a value for the BHPS members who joined at wave 2. I have checked the BHPS data files and they don’t seem to contain a variable that indicates whether someone is born in the UK. There is a country of birth measure that contains a handful of respondents specific overseas country of birth. Is there a way to create a uk born measure for BHPS respondents in UKHLS up to wave i?</p>

<p>My research topic is about the labour force participation, and so I collected some dataset from BHPS dataset, I have UKDA 5151 dataset and separated some variables I use in the analysis. But I would like to apply for this dataset using GMM, Fixed effect or other methods. I am using Stata 14.1 program for windows.</p>
<p>In UKDA 5151, I will use only `indresp` and 1-18 waves together...</p>
<p>1- Before analysis this dataset, do we have to merge this dataset? so I do not know what to merge in STATA ?</p>
<p>2- After merge process for dataset, can we analyse for our commands to these datasets?</p>
<p>3- Do you have any internet address for how to merge these datasets or link, or brochure or do file?</p>
<p>I attached my variables and model. If you help me for this issue, I am glad for this.</p>

<p>Hi I have merged 3 variables from wave3 to wave 5 they are : c_cgwri_dv, c_cgvfc_dv, and c_cgna_dv. I want to obtain the mean for these variables but only for those who are present in wave 5. I created 2 dummy variables where wave 5 =1 is present in wave 5 and wave 3=1 if present in wave 3. when i ran a cross tab it showed that the entire sample that were in wave 3 were in wave 5. Can someone confirm this as it seems strange that no attrition occured between wave 3 and 5?</p>

<p>Dear Victoria,</p>
<p>I noted that you responded to a colleague’s question on this matter, but provided the solution via email, so I was unable to access your solution. (<a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/488">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/488</a>).<br />I am using the BHPS and US as repeat cross-sections and am trying to control for differences between respondents in their educational levels. The BHPS has a variable which measures respondents highest educational level, the US appears not to (is this correct?). The only variable I can access using US is qfhigh, but this appears not to be asked of all respondents, at least not from 2010 onwards.</p>
<p>Also, am I correct in thinking that weights provided for US does not allow one to use the data as repeat cross sections (I am hoping for an equivalent of the BHPS variable: xrwght).</p>
<p>My best regards,</p>

<p>I am trying to examine people who have experienced care. I have attached an excel sheet containing the frequencies for the a_relationship_dv variable. I am going to be using the adopted/relationship and foster relationship to identify the youth contain within the youth file (10-15) who are in these categories as in care. I was wondering if I should be using the a_relationship or the a_relationship_dv as there seemed to be an issue with this variable. Can you also confirm that using this variable would be done so in the correct manner (example its not deserved from another section of the questionnaire such as the La_adopt variable is derived from the fertility section? and therefore I was told in the past that it could not be used in the above mentioned manner.</p>

<p>Hi I am trying to identify the child respondents throughout the waves. I want to examine who is in care and who is not in care but at present I am only seeing what would appear to be the adult respondents. Is there a way to look at only the children respondents? or do I need secure access?</p> Support #260 (Closed): age leaving homehttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/2602014-05-09T12:03:16Zpeter tammes
<p>We are analysing the wave 3 question ‘age you think when you leave home’ (lvhm). We noticed that there are a significant number of ‘don't knows’ recorded in the dataset and would like to learn more about them, for example if ‘don't know’ is given more often by certain ethnic groups. Thus we have a couple of questions:</p>
<p>1) Is the answer option ‘don’t know’ explicitly given TO THE RESPONDENT by the interviewer or is this option only recorded when the respondent says this spontaneously? <br />2) How do interviewers deal with respondents who have no intention to leave home (for whatever reason) – were the interviewers given special instructions?</p> Support #253 (Closed): general population samplehttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/2532014-03-28T16:09:03Zpeter tammes

<p>Dear BHPS</p>
<p>I am using BHPS data (wave 13-18) and have some queries.</p>
<p>First, for the purpose of my study, I will only include people from Scotland. <br />Could I ask what is the variable that I should use to allow me to do this.</p>
<p>Second, I am wondering what are the weighting variables for Scotland population only (not Scotland+Welsh)? <br />Are there separate weighting variables for longitudinal data or pooled cross-sectional?</p>
<p>Third, I notice that there are a lot of missing values for sex (I look at a variable called sex), <br />Is there any other variables in BHPS that can tell us the respondent's sex but with fewer missing values?</p>
<p>Fourth, I also want to know individual's age. I found a variable called (doby), <br />Again, is there any other variables that I should use for individual's age?</p>
<p>Fifth, I want to look at individual's educational background. <br />What variable should I use which tells me the highest education respondents have.</p>
<p>Last, I want to include respondent's income/socio-economics status.<br />I saw there are many possible variables that I can use, <br />but I am wondering what are the most commonly used variables for individual's income/socio-economic statues?</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
