Comparability
In 1996, CHOEMINSRD only includes persons aged 16 and older with a current main job who are eligible in rounds 1 and 2 of data collection; in subsequent years, RUSIZERD is available for persons aged 16 and older with a current main job. Otherwise, this variable is completely comparable across time.
Beginning with Panel 23 Round 9, Panel 24 Round 7, Panel 25 Round 5, and Panel 26 Round 3, CHOEMINSRD is coded as 8 = "Not ascertained" if EHICOVRD or EHIOFFRRD are coded as 7 = "Refused" or 9 = "Don't know." Prior to this, if EHICOVRD or EHIOFFRRD were coded as 7 or 9, CHOEMINSRD was also coded as 7 = "Refused" or 9 = "Don't know."
