DCWS indicator definitions — cws

This data frame is a reference of how indicators are defined, such as Likert questions that get collapsed into a single number (e.g. strongly agree & somewhat agree –> percent agree). It also has more complicated indicators, such as smoking rate and underemployment, and responses used to calculate each. Responses should be consistent across years.

Usage

cws_defs

Format

A data frame with 33 rows and 3 variables:

indicator: Text of abbreviated indicator name, e.g. "safe biking"

collapsed_responses: Comma-separated text of responses that are collapsed into the indicator, e.g. "Strongly agree, Somewhat agree".
