WLS Codebooks

Note: Codebooks contain frequency data from the private data release. For some variables, these differ from the frequencies in the public release. Variables that differ between the public and private versions include "(not available on public release)" as part of the variable description, or a note indicating the difference between the public and private versions.

Mail: Health and Health Behaviors

Sibling Mail: Health and Health Behaviors Module

OVERVIEW

The 1993 round of WLS data collection was the first to include items directly
ascertaining health and health behaviors.  In addition to the telephone health
module, this round (2004) replicates most of the key items from the previous
round plus many additional ones, including the SF-12, childhood health, access
to health care, health utilization, quality of life, and future health
projection items.

For brevity and conciseness, items from the 'Health' and 'Health Behaviors'
modules have combined.
