Derive informal care received variable

Usage

derive_cr2_frhc(df)

Arguments

df

A data frame containing cleaned data for a survey cycle. Must contain the following columns, each indicating whether the respondent received informal care along a particular dimension:

  • CR2_FAM_PR: Personal care

  • CR2_FAM_MD: Medical care

  • CR2_FAM_MG: Care management

  • CR2_FAM_AC: Home maintenance and outdoor work

  • CR2_FAM_TR: Transportation

  • CR2_FAM_ML: Meal preparation

  • CR2_FAM_NONE: No help received

  • CR2_FAM_OT: Other help

  • CR2_FAM_DK_NA: Don't know

  • CR2_FAM_REFUSED: Refused

Value

A data frame with the same number of rows as df plus a new column CR2_FRHC indicating whether the respondent received informal care.

Details

Intended for use with Follow-up 2 data, for which this variable was not derived by the data provider. Four variables that appear in the original algorithm (CR2_FAM_CS, CR2_FAM_MB, CR2_FAM_MISSING, and CR2_FAM_MN) are excluded from the function because they are unavailable at Follow-up 2.
