multiple_conditions_fun2.RdThis function generates a derived variable (number_conditions) that counts the number of chronic conditions a respondent has. This function takes 6 CCHS-defined conditions (heart disease, cancer, stroke, bowel disorder, mood disorder and arthritis), and well one derived variable (respiratory condition) to count the number of conditions a respondent has.
multiple_conditions_fun2( CCC_121, CCC_131, CCC_151, CCC_171, CCC_280, resp_condition_der, CCC_051 )
| CCC_121 | variable indicating if respondent has heart disease (1 = respondent has heart disease, 2 = respondent does not have heart disease) |
|---|---|
| CCC_131 | variable indicating if respondent has active cancer (1 = respondent has active cancer, 2 = respondent does not have active cancer) |
| CCC_151 | variable indicating if respondent suffers from the effects of a stroke (1 = respondent suffers from stroke effects, 2 = respondent does not suffer from stroke effects) |
| CCC_171 | variable indicating if respondent has a bowel disorder (1 = respondent has bowel disorder, 2 = respondent does not have a bowel disorder) |
| CCC_280 | variable indicating if respondent has a mood disorder (1 = respondent has a mood disorder, 2 = respondent does not have a mood disorder. Note, variable was not asked to respondents in the 2001 CCHS survey cycle. |
| resp_condition_der | derived variable indicating if respondent has a
respiratory condition. (1 = respondent is over the age of 35 and has
a respiratory condition, 2 = respondent is under the age of 35 and has a
respiratory conditions, 3 = respondent does not have a respiratory
condition). See |
| CCC_051 | variable indicating if respondent has arthritis or rheumatism (1 = respondent has arthritis or rheumatism, 2 = respondent does not have arthritis or rheumatism) |
A categorical variable indicating the number of chronic conditions a respondent has. Respondents with 5 or more conditions are grouped in the "5+" category.
mood disorder (CCC_280) was not asked to respondents in the 2001
CCHS survey cycle. This mean respondents in this cycle will only be able to
have a maximum of 6 chronic conditions as opposed to 7 for respondents in
other cycles. multiple_conditions_fun1 is used for CCHS cycles
from 2003 to 2014.
