MY001REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the four items (22a,
22c,22d,22e) recieved a valid response. The degree of family stress
spillover can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 20 (the highest
possible). See MY001REI for an imputed version of this variable for
which mean of valid responses is imputed for missing responses. See
MY002RE for the number of items included in the sum.
