Number of Residences since Age 12 - Appendix 3

Variables Created

• CVC_TTL_RESIDENCES

This program calculates the number of residences in which youth has lived since age 12. In round 1, the variable was created with information from the parent interview. In round 2, information collected from the respondent was combined with the round 1 variable to update the previous information. Subsequent rounds continue to update the variable with respondent-provided data (but do not use data from the Round 6 Childhood Retrospective). This variable has valid data only for respondents whose parents were interviewed in round 1; respondents with no parent interview are assigned a -3 (invalid skip).

• CVC_TTL_RESIDENCES_EDT

This program calculates a number of residences since age 12 variable only for respondents who answered the Round 6. 7 or 8 Childhood Retrospective section. This variable is then updated with information provided in each subsequent round.  This variable has valid data only for respondents who went through the Childhood Retrospective section; respondents with no Childhood Retrospective data are assigned a -4 (valid skip).
