bi116re, bi118re, and bi119re in this analysis file). All sibling-spouse respondents
were given these 6 items. This 6-item score replicates RI001RE from the 1992
graduate wave but differs in number of items summarized (6 instead of 8 in 1992).
"Don't know" responses to individual items count as 0 toward summary scores.
"Inappropriate," "Refused," and "Not Ascertained" do not count toward summary scores.
