VAR CF0439 WALLACE THERMOMETER COLUMNS 362 - 363 NUMERIC MD EQ 98 OR GE 99 GEORGE WALLACE -- THERMOMETER ------------------------------------------------------------------- USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B. SEE VCF0201 FOR QUESTION TEXT. (1978 question wording same as 1980.) In 1972, this var was present in both the pre and post. The pre version is represented here. In 1968 "don't know"s were coded 50 on thermometers; groups about which the respondent "didn't know much" were also placed at 50 degrees during these years. 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. 00-96.
