Asked of: TEST_YN = 1
Ordered free COVID-19 tests from government website or USPS · Asked in 3 waves, 2023 · 134,103 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses
Periods loaded: week58, week59, week60. 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.
