Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Kept and flagged: 9 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: See question text and wording VCF0134. See also VCF0135,VCF0137. In 1956-1964, the named community was coded according to its approximate population at the time R was growing up. A community may thus have been coded for the study into a size category different from the size description chosen by R in his/her answer. ‘City’ categories by population during these years were (in general): under 10,000; 10,000-50,000; 100,000-250,000; 250,000+. For the codes here, the 250,000+ category was placed into ‘large city’, while lesser- population cities were included in code 3. In 1966-1976, R’s own perception of size of community was used.
