Periods loaded: week43, week44, week45, week46, week47, week48. Version of CTCSPND13 first asked in week43: wording, reference period, answer options, or (for a checkbox) the option it names or whether the question offers a 'none of these' box differ from census_pulse:ctcspnd13. Select-all checkbox item. Code 1 = box checked; 0 = left unchecked by a respondent who checked another box in the same question (derived from Census's -99); -99 = saw the question and checked nothing (skipped). The question offers no 'none of these' box, so a respondent to whom no option applied looks like one who skipped it (-99 on every box); shares of 1 and 0 are among respondents who checked at least one box.
