Change Notice #35 - data version 12.28 - July 2012

 

Major Updates

Wave: Graduate 2004 and Sibling 2005 Phone
Module: Nonnormative Screener
New variables: gd360, gd361, gd362, gd36301-gd36317 (graduate respondents); cd360, cd361, cd362, cd36301-cd36313 (sibling respondents)
Archived variables: gd300, gd301, gd302, gd30301-gd30317 (graduate respondents); cd300, cd301, cd302, cd30301-cd30313 (sibling respondents)
The original variables in the Nonnormative Screener module, including gd300, gd301, gd302, gd30301-gd30317, cd300, cd301, cd302, and cd30301-gd30313, have been archived and replaced by gd360, gd361, gd362, gd36301-gd36317, cd360, cd361, cd362, and cd36301-cd36313, respectively. The updates mainly involve changes in the nonnormative status or conditions of some children in the roster (gd36301-gd36317/cd36301-cd36313). As a result, the numbers of children each respondent had with development disability, mental illness or severe depression at the time of interview (gd360, gd361, gd362/cd360, cd361, cd362) have been changed for some respondents as well. Overall, we have been able to identify more nonnormative cases than in the previous releases. For details on changes in the updated version, see COR 1018b.
