___________________________________ HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDY, WAVE 2 Full Public Release, Version 1.00 June 18, 1998 ___________________________________ Miscellaneous variables and Section A: Demographic Background (N = 11596) ___________________________________ - NOTE: Household and Individual weights for HRS Wave 2 are in the HRS/AHEAD Tracker File. - NOTE: Some Wave 2 Section A questions were not asked again for respondents who gave the data at Wave 1. Those questions (for example, W229-W232) will have data only for the cases new to Wave 2. For some questions (for example, W226) the Wave 1 data has been merged in; those questions can be identified by their associated "merge flags." The merge flags, when present, have a merge flag name that is 20000 greater than the variable name (i.e. variable W226 has an associated merge flag of W20226).
