OVHHID OVERLAP CASE: OLD HHID
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Character Width: 6 Decimals: 0
There are two types of overlap cases in the HRS and AHEAD. First, there were a
number of original HRS Wave 1 households eligible to be either an HRS or AHEAD
household. An interview was attempted for each in HRS Wave 1. Afterwards, a
random subsampling was performed, with 60% of the cases staying in HRS and the
remaining going to AHEAD. We refer to the 134 cases given over to AHEAD as
HRS/AHEAD overlap. Among those 134 cases assigned to AHEAD, however, only 109
were actually interviewed. Second, there were two cases of inter-respondent
overlaps. In one case, an AHEAD married sample member (OVHHHID='205906' and
OVPN='010') became widowed from his original wife (HHID='205906' and PN='020'),
and married another AHEAD sample member (HHID='205864' and PN='010') in HRS
1998, gaining a new identity as HHID='205864' and PN='011'. In the other, an
AHEAD sample member (OVHHID='205399' and OVPN='010') married another AHEAD
sample member (HHID='208545' and PN='020') in HRS 2000, gaining a new identity
as HHID='208545' and PN='010'. The orginal information for the overlap cases was
converted to that for the new identities. See variables OVPN, and OVRESULT for
more information.

SECU SAMPLING ERROR COMPUTATION UNIT
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 1 Decimals: 0
This is the stratum half-sample code for analysis of sampling error using the
BRR method or approximate 'two-per-stratum' Taylor Series method (Kish and Hess,
1959). Within the SR sampling error strata, the half sample units are created by
dividing sample cases into random halves, HALF SAMPLE CODE = 1 and HALF SAMPLE
CODE = 2.

STRATUM STRATUM ID
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 2 Decimals: 0
This code is the variable which defines the sampling error computation strata of
the HRS data. With the exception of New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago MSAs,
each self-representing (SR) design stratum is represented by one sampling error
computation stratum. Due to their population size, two sampling error
computation strata are defined for each of the three largest MSAs. Pairs of
similar nonself-representing (NSR) primary stage design strata are 'collapsed'
(Kalton, 1977) to create NSR sampling error computation strata.

Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 3 Decimals: 0
This variable is used for creating household-level and respondent-level weight
variables for each wave. It allows comparison of the HRS cohorts with the
corresponding cohorts in the Current Population Survey. It is constructed using
a 'first-mention' or 'entry-wave' birth year measure. This may differ from the
BIRTHYR variable in this file because BIRTHYR is updated on the basis of new
information obtained in subsequent waves.

DMF_SCORE DEATH MASTER FILE SCORE
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 3 Decimals: 1
The DMF score is a score of a possible match found in the DMF database. It is
calculated by the sum of individual parts. First name, last name, month of
birth, day of birth, year of birth, month of death, day of death, year of death,
and ssn from the DMF are all scored by comparing the DMF information against
known survey data and then totaled for an overall score known as the DMF_score.
Possible scores range from 1 to 9.
First and last name
If complete one-to-one match, score a 1.
If the first 6 characters match, score a .75.
If the first 3 characters match, score a .50.
If the first character matches, score a .25.
Month of birth
If complete one-to-one match, score a 1.
If month of birth is +/- 1, score a .50.
Day of birth
If complete one-to-one match, score a 1.
If day of birth is +/- 1, score a .50.
If day of birth is +/- 2, score a .25.
Year of birth

Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 4 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 1992
containing at least one individual born in the 1931-1941 birth cohorts. It is
based on the original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has
been post-stratified to the March 1992 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See

BWGTHH 1993 WEIGHT: HOUSEHOLD-LEVEL
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 1993
containing at least one individual born in the 1890-1923 birth cohorts. It is
based on the original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has
been post-stratified to the March 1993 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction.

xAGE is constructed using a 'best source' method, if there was more than one
birthdate given in different waves. We used a self report as most reliable,
followed by a spouse report, and finally a non spouse proxy. The tracker file
and the public data use the last date of birth given, regardless of the source.
This results in some discrepancies between xAGE and BIRTHYR.

This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 1995
containing at least one individual born in the 1890-1923 birth cohorts. It is
based on the original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has
been post-stratified to the March 1995 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See

xAGE is constructed using a 'best source' method, if there was more than one

followed by a spouse report, and finally a non spouse proxy. The tracker file
and the public data use the last date of birth given, regardless of the source.
This results in some discrepancies between xAGE and BIRTHYR.

Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 1998
containing at least one individual born prior to 1948. It is based on the
original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has been
post-stratified to the March 1998 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See

GAGE AGE AT 2000 INTERVIEW
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 3 Decimals: 0
xAGE is constructed using a 'best source' method, if there was more than one
birthdate given in different waves. We used a self report as most reliable,
followed by a spouse report, and finally a non spouse proxy. The tracker file
and the public data use the last date of birth given, regardless of the source.
This results in some discrepancies between xAGE and BIRTHYR.

contact was made with someone capable of reporting a death, and unknown in which
no contact was made. By definition, no respondents can be deceased at the
baseline interview, or they would have been excluded from the sample. The
baseline for HRS is HRS 1992; for AHEAD is AHEAD 1993; for CODA and WB is HRS
1998; and for EBB is HRS 2004.

HAGE AGE AT 2002 INTERVIEW
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 3 Decimals: 0
xAGE is constructed using a 'best source' method, if there was more than one
birthdate given in different waves. We used a self report as most reliable,
followed by a spouse report, and finally a non spouse proxy. The tracker file
and the public data use the last date of birth given, regardless of the source.
This results in some discrepancies between xAGE and BIRTHYR.

HALIVE 2002 VITAL STATUS
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 1 Decimals: 0
This variable is based on HRS tracking efforts. Respondents for whom vital
status was not certain are placed in two categories: presumed alive, in which
contact was made with someone capable of reporting a death, and unknown in which
no contact was made. By definition, no respondents can be deceased at the
baseline interview, or they would have been excluded from the sample. The
baseline for HRS is HRS 1992; for AHEAD is AHEAD 1993; for CODA and WB is HRS
1998; and for EBB is HRS 2004.

HWGTHH 2002 WEIGHT: HOUSEHOLD LEVEL
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 2002
containing at least one individual born prior to 1948. It is based on the
original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has been
post-stratified to the March 2002 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction.

JWGTHH 2004 WEIGHT: HOUSEHOLD LEVEL
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 2004
containing at least one individual born prior to 1954. It is based on the
original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has been
post-stratified to the March 2004 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction.

KAGE AGE AT 2006 INTERVIEW
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 3 Decimals: 0
xAGE is constructed using a 'best source' method, if there was more than one
birthdate given in different waves. We used a self report as most reliable,
followed by a spouse report, and finally a non spouse proxy. The tracker file
and the public data use the last date of birth given, regardless of the source.
This results in some discrepancies between xAGE and BIRTHYR.

contact was made with someone capable of reporting a death, and unknown in which
no contact was made. By definition, no respondents can be deceased at the
baseline interview, or they would have been excluded from the sample. The
baseline for HRS is HRS 1992; for AHEAD is AHEAD 1993; for CODA and WB is HRS
1998; and for EBB is HRS 2004.

KWGTHH 2006 WEIGHT: HOUSEHOLD LEVEL
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 2006
containing at least one individual born prior to 1954. It is based on the
original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has been
post-stratified to the March 2006 Current Population Survey based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction.

MWGTHH 2010 WEIGHT: HOUSEHOLD LEVEL
Section: TR Level: Respondent Type: Numeric Width: 5 Decimals: 0
This weight should be used in making inferences to HOUSEHOLDS in the US in 2010
containing at least one individual born prior to 1954. It is based on the
original sampling rate for cohort eligible financial units. It has been
post-stratified to the 2010 Current Population Survey (CPS) based on the
birth-cohort of each unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse
in married couples, their race/ethnicity, and their marital status. The HRS
definition of a household (a financial unit consisting of uncoupled individuals,
married couples, or unmarried couples that operate as a financial unit) differs
from CPS definitions and CPS data are restructured for post-stratification. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction. In this preliminary HRS 2010 release, the 2010 CPS is used
in place of 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) for post-stratification,
because the 2010 ACS data have not been released. For the final release, the HRS
2010 weights will be post-stratified to the 2010 ACS.

This weight should be used in making inferences to INDIVIDUALS who were born
before 1954 and living in U.S. households in 2010. It is based on the original
sampling rate for cohort-eligible financial units. It has been post-stratified
to the 2010 Current Population Survey (CPS) based on the birth-cohort of each
unmarried individual and the birth cohorts of each spouse in married couples,
their sex, race/ethnicity, and marital status. See
http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/docs/design.html for more information about
weight construction. In this preliminary HRS 2010 release, the 2010 CPS is used
in place of 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) for post-stratification,
because the 2010 ACS data have not been released. For the final release, the HRS
2010 weights will be post-stratified to the 2010 ACS.
