USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
SEE VCF0201 FOR QUESTION TEXT
In 1972, this variable was present in both the pre and post. The pre
version is represented here.
In 1970-1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings
for individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too
much." However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or
NA: even within a single study year, "don't know much/too much" may
not have been coded consistently to one MD category.
