Main survey variable: scflag_dv flag for self-completion record

flag for self-completion record

Flag for CAPI respondents for whether or not self-completion data file is available. (1.) The variable scflag_dv=0 if a face-to-face respondent (indmode=1) did not complete self-completion questionnaire and 1 if they did. At each wave, there are a handful of cases where the respondent only partially completed the self-completion questionniare. In such cases the scflag_dv=0 (in Wave 3, 71 cases; in Wave 4, 40 cases; in Wave 5, 71 cases; in Wave 7, 29 cases; in Wave 8, 11 cases). (2.) Proxy respondents are not offered the self-completion questionnaire. So, for proxy respondents scflag_dv=0. Please note that in Wave 1 scflag_dv=-7 for proxy respondents. (3.) Telephone interview mode was introduced in Wave 2 (indmode=2) and web interview mode in Wave 7 (indmode=3). For these respondents, scflag_dv=0. While telephone and web respondents are not offered a separate self-completion questionnaire, all the questions in the self-completion questionnaires are always included in web interviews and started to be included in telephone interviews from onwards Wave 5. (4.) For Waves 1-2 based solely on whether data from paper questionnaires were available. Subsequently derived from w_scac. Note that self-completion data are also available for all cases with w_indmode=2 or w_indmode=3 (telephone and web respondents).
