GENERAL NOTES:
FOR ALL YEARS SINCE 1960 WHICH UTILIZED THE 'MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM'
QUESTION, THE MAJOR GROUPINGS AND THEIR RECODES TO CUMULATIVE DATA
FILE VARIABLE V875 (with some exceptions) ARE AS FOLLOW:
CDF V875 Original Codes Subject grouping
-------- -------------- --------------------------------
9 1-99 social welfare
1 100-149 agriculture
6 150-199 natural resources
5 200-299 labor
8 300-349 race 1960-1972
300-319 race 1974-1990
7 350-399 public order 1960-1972
320-399 public order 1974-1990
2 400-499 economic/business
3 500-799 foreign affairs & national defense
4 800-899 functioning of government
In years 1960-1972 continuity of coding during successive years was
not maintained. Beginning in 1974, however, a set of codes was created
which was reused each following year without renumbering or dropping of
codes: the only changes made to the 1974-based set of codes until 1988
were, where need arose, expansions of individual code texts and insertion
of additional codes (e.g. for 'new' issues). In 1988 this set of
1974-based codes underwent comprehensive review [see part 2].
Part 1 below covers years 1960-1972. During 1960-1966, code numbering
was generally mutually exclusive between study years. Beginning in
1968, some previous codes (number and/or text) were reused.

Part 2. 1974-and later: Most Important Problem Codes
[note: for 1960-1972 codes, see part 1 above]
1974-BASED CODES: In 1974, a set of 'most important problem' codes was
created with a numbering scheme following 1960-1972 general groupings,
but specific codes were not necessarily related to individual codes from any
years 1960-1972. During years 1976-1986, some codes within this 1974-based set
were revised in text (usually augmented), and some codes were added when need
arose, but no categories were dropped.
1988 REVIEW OF CODES: In 1988, prior to the coding of that year's study
data, the existing set of 'most important problem' codes underwent a
comprehensive review, resulting in deletion of all categories with a history
of "too few mentions" since 1974. There was, as well, a rewording/revision of
many codes and combining of others. Since 1988, codes have been added or
revised/ augmented only where necessary to process data describing very
current issues.
'RETIRED CODES': Unless indicated differently (i.e., for merged codes),
individual categories NOT continued in 1988 ('retired') were terminated due to
"too few mentions." Note that the total number of mentions prior to 1988
(1974-1986 inclusive) appears in parentheses following the text of the
'retired' code.
CONTINUING CODES (not 'retired'): For codes unretired or new in 1988, a
code text not followed by a date in brackets indicates the 1988 version of the
code. The code may have been created at any time 1974-1988; if variations in
code text preceded the 1988 version, texts of earlier versions of code also
appear in parentheses. * indicates that the code was created in 1974. Codes
surviving the 1988 review which were created after 1974 have year of
origination in brackets [ ]. Any changes made to text after 1988 are noted
with date of change. Yearly distributions for years 1974 and later appear at
end.
