___________________________________ HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDY, WAVE 2 Full Public Release, Version 1.00 June 18, 1998 ___________________________________ Section E: Parents (N = 12247) ___________________________________ - The variables and codes in this codebook are a combination of questions originally asked separately regarding different types of parents. - Now that the questions are combined into a single set of variables, analysts will want to use the variable "PARCODE" to determine what type of parent a particular record refers to. - Parents that were known to be deceased at HRS Wave 1 should not be present in this file. - Please note that parents were assigned person numbers in HRS Wave 1, but are not identified by their person numbers in this wave.

However, two types of problems occured: too many Family Respondents (more than one per household), and not enough Family Respondents (none in the household). Too many Family Respondents: In ten paired households (20 respondents), family information was given by more than one respondent, resulting in more than one Family Respondent per household. Unfortunately, the information given by each person was not always consistent, and so the solution to the problem is left to the user, and is best dealt with prior to analyzing the data. Not enough Family Respondents: This file does not contain records for households where there was no Family Respondent. 0. Parent is associated with a household that contains one Family Respondent (no special attention needed) 1. Parent is associated with a household that contains two Family Respondents (will require special attention by analyst) FAMFLAG Code Frequency ----------------------- 0 12209 1 38 PARCODE PARCODE Type of parent flag _____________________________________________________________ [NOTE: The PARCODE indicates the type of person each record is referring to.
