Study Number 4518 - General Household Survey, 2000-2001

NEW EDITION INFORMATION

For the third edition, a revised version of the education variable EdLev00 was added to the dataset.

DATA PROCESSING NOTES

The data were processed to the UK Data Archive's A* standard. This is the Archive's highest standard, and means that an extremely rigorous and comprehensive series of checks was carried out to ensure the quality of the data and documentation.Firstly, checks were made that the number of cases and variables matched the depositor's records. Secondly, checks were made that all variables had comprehensible variable labels and all nominal (categorical) variables had comprehensible value labels. Where possible, either with reference to the documentation and/or in communication with the depositor, labels were accordingly edited or created. Thirdly, logical checks were performed to ensure that nominal (categorical) variables had values within the range defined (either by value labels or in the depositor's documentation). Lastly, any data or documentation that breached confidentiality rules were altered or suppressed to preserve anonymity.

All notable and/or outstanding problems discovered are detailed under the 'Data and documentation problems' heading below.

Useful Notes

Extra Modules:

1. Social Capital:
The Social Capital data file, scaparchive, can stand alone, or may be merged with the individual file (ghs00client1) using key variables HSERIAL and PERSNO, or with the household file (ghs00hclient1.por) using key variable HSERIAL. Users are strongly advised to read the 'User Guide' section in the Social Capital Module section of the User Guide (Vol.4 - file a4518uab.pdf) before using the data or attempting to merge the files.

For variables derived from other multi-response variables, such as CEFEEL, NOACTION, LOWSUPRT and WALKDAR2, '0' indicates a negative response and '1' indicates a positive response to items such as civic engagement, local action taken, low social support score etc,. Unlabelled negative responses for these variables have been labelled accordingly, indicating the variables they were derived from.

Documentation:
The documents supplied for the Social Capital data file have been compiled into a user guide for the Social Capital data (Vol.4 of the User Guide - file a4518uab.pdf), which is linked to the other GHS 2000-2001 documents via the user guide index file. Users should be aware, however, that they may need to refer to other documents in the user guide for details of demographic variables from the main survey which also appear in the Social Capital data file.

Publications:
The depositor notes that ONS SSD have produced a guide to the Social Capital Module. This includes the question set, a description of the results of the development work with particular reference to the overall order of questions, their wording and administration, details of other projects funded by the HDA and projects which were used in the development of the GHS question set. The full reference is as follows:
Coulthard, M., Walker, A. and Morgan A. (2001) "Assessing people's perceptions of their neighbourhood and community involvement: Part 1: A guide to questions for use in the measurement of social capital based on the General Household Survey module", London: Health Development Agency.


2. Informal Carers:
Like the Social Capital data file, the Informal Carers data file can stand alone, or may be merged with the individual file (ghs00client1) using key variables HSERIAL and PERSNO, or with the household file (ghs00hclient1) using key variable HSERIAL. Users are strongly advised to read the 'Guidelines for Using the Carers Data' in the Informal Carers Module section of the User Guide (Vol.5 - file a4518ubb.pdf) before using the data or attempting to merge the files.

Documentation:
The documents supplied for the Informal Carers data file have been compiled into a user guide for the Informal Carers data, which is linked to the other GHS 2000-2001 documents via the user guide index file. Users should be aware, however, that they may need to refer to other documents in the user guide for details of any demographic variables from the main survey which may appear in the Informal Carers data file.

VARIABLE SIC90
The variable SIC90 in the GHS is constructed using the Standard Industrial Classification 1992 and has values up to 990.
Labels up to value 461 are shown below (taken from variable Industry Class main job, INDM92M in SN: 4626 Quarterly Labour Force Survey, September - November, 2002). As per the INDUSTRY1 variable in the GHS, values of 0 and 460 through 960 can be recoded to -8 and value 990 corresponds to 'missing'.

Data conversion information

From January 2003 onwards, almost all data conversions have been performed using software developed by the UKDA. This enables standardisation of the conversion methods and ensures optimal data quality. In addition to its own data processing/conversion code, this software uses the SPSS and Stat/Transfer command processors to perform certain format translations. Although data conversion is automated, all data files are also subject to visual inspection by a UKDA data processing officer.

With some format conversions data, and more especially internal metadata (i.e. variable labels, value labels, missing value definitions, data type information), will inevitably be lost or truncated owing to the differential limits of the proprietary formats.A UKDA Data Dictionary file (in rich text format), corresponding to each data file, is usually provided for viewing and searching the internal metadata as it existed in the originating format. These files are called: [data file name]_UKDA_Data_Dictionary.rtf
