Baseline File ................ page 1 Six-Month File .............. page 48 Twelve-Month File .......... page 86

How to Use This Document This file provides the frequency distributions for the three public-release NIS-Pilot files. It also serves as a crosswalk to the administered questionnaires and explains any coding of raw data. For the 50% of respondents who completed the three-month interview, three-month responses were incorporated into the six-month file as necessary so that “since the last interview” now refers to the baseline interview in all cases in the six-month file. The codebook and questionnaires are available on the NIS website, http://nis.princeton.edu, and should be reviewed in addition to this file when working with the NIS-P data. Example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ biryrcat 4 r's year of birth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ type: numeric (byte) label: bylbl range: [1,9] units: 1 unique values: 9 missing .: 0/1133 tabulation: Freq. Numeric Label 54 1 <=1931 62 2 1932-41 128 3 1942-51 112 4 1952-56 151 5 1957-61 222 6 1962-66 190 7 1967-71 143 8 1972-76 71 9 >=1977 biryrcat: 1. Response coded into birth year categories.

Notes indicate any recoding or transformation of original survey data.

Variable label includes original question number, allowing user to link variable to the questionnaire.
