Variable note:
In Wave 1-5, sf1 was asked of everyone by the interviewer. However, starting from Wave 6 onwards, this was done only for proxy respondents. From Wave 2 onwards the same question was also included in the self-completion part of the individual questionnaire and was renamed scsf1. Consequently, for Waves 2-5, there are two types of responses available for this question (sf1 & scsf1) for those face-to-face respondents who also completed the self-completion part of the questionnaire. For Waves 6 onwards, users will need to combine responses from sf1 and scsf1.
