Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 99 in 2002. Kept and flagged: 99 (other_missing). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: In Pre-Post study years, this was a pre var. In 1968-1978, if number of years given included a fraction of 6 or more months, then the number of years coded was rounded up to the next highest whole number. In 1980-1986, this practice was restricted to instances where the total number of years (and months) given was less than 2 years; if the number of years given was greater than 2, then any fraction was dropped. In 1988-1990, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded as 1 year, code 0), and 13-23 months (code 1). In 1994 and later, all fractions of years were dropped with the exception of months less than a year (coded 0); the code ‘13-23 months; 2 years’ has been recoded to 2. Beginning in 2012, exact number of years was not in the public release. 1974 NOTE: Code ‘all of life’ was not used. 2002 NOTE: This question was asked only of Fresh Cross respondents. 2004 NOTE: Code 76 includes, ‘76 years or more.’ Code, ‘All of life’ was not used.
