OPEN-ENDED CODING DECISIONS

    No items within this module were specified as open-ended items.  Based upon interviewer notes, a number of 
    items were re-coded based upon the following rules.  For items dealing age or year at death, the lower value 
    was coded as the response if the respondent provided two possible answers. This decision rule affected a 
    limited number of cases.  See corXXX for exact details on open-ended coding for this module.
