NOT YET COHORT ELIGIBLE ========================================================================================== OVHHID OVERLAP CASE: OLD HHID Section: A 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 106 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. ................................................................................. 37894 000000. Non-overlap 111 000001-205906.
