Appendix P: Priority Conditions for Creating Household-
Consistent Covariates
P.1 Household Size
In Table P.1, blank entries indicate that no conditions were required for that set of
variables. The reported household size variable is QD54, and the edited household size variable
is TOTPEOP, which cannot differ from the raw variable by more than 1. Any variable suffixed
by "A" indicates that the variable corresponds to the value for pair member "A." A similar
comment can be made with regard to the suffix "B." For example, "QD54A" reflects the reported
household size for pair member A. The quality-of-roster counts are considered in the column
"any roster missing?" The variables GOODAGEA and GOODAGEB are the total number of
cases in the roster with valid ages. The variables that appear in the table are TGOODAGA and
TGOODAGB, the total number of cases in the roster with valid ages, incorporating the minimum
possible counts within the age categories 12 to 17, 18 to 25, 26 to 34, 35 to 49, and 50 or older.
Finally, the variable used to describe the screener household size is SHHSIZE. The conditions
used to create the variable HHSIZE resulted in no missing values for this variable, and thus no
imputation was required. The first column in Table P.1 shows the hierarchical priority condition,
with the frequency of occurrence for each priority condition in parentheses.
