Data Completeness Report

Notes: (1) Variables are individually listed only if they have greater than 5% missing data. These variables are listed under
the appropriate percentage category in the order in which they appear in the data file. (2) The Data Completeness Report
only captures information about system missing or other values that are declared missing. Codes that have a label implying
that they are missing but that are not declared missing values are not reflected in this report. Data users should consult the
codebook for more specific information about missing values. (3) Some variables that have 100% missing data may have
been blanked by ICPSR to protect respondent confidentiality. Data users should consult the codebook for more specific
information about blanked variables. (4) Data do not contain skip patterns or skip patterns are not reflected in the data as
coded.

 Data and Variable Label Problems
Part 1

The materials provided by the Principal Investigators were insufficient to conclusively determine the
meaning of all of the variables and values in this study. This is a list of problems or potential problems
identified by the ICPSR processor. Where it is relevant, the action taken by the processor (such as
marking inappropriate values as missing) is also listed.

Variable Names in Problems Identified

Datafile
various The questionnaire says that missing values are coded as 1.9, but there are no
instances of 1.9 values in the data.
various The data contain zeros which don't make sense unless they are missing values.
(They have been marked as missing.)
p138, p145, p152, The data contain additional codes which are not specified in the questionnaire.
p155, p180 (Many of these values have been marked as missing.)
p163a One case has a value of 366. There were only 365 total days in 2002.
income98 to Negative values may legitimately represent a net loss, or they may be
income01 mistakes.
pop2003, pop2002, These variables were not found in any questionnaire, nor could they be
errtype1 labeled intuitively.
p132b, p132c, Variables not found in questionnaire.
