Periods loaded: week22, week23, week24, week25, week26, week27, week28, week29, week30, week31, week32, week33. 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.
Shares of people who gave an answer. Each column is one wave, evenly spaced rather than to scale in time; hover for exact shares.
