BHPS Documentation – Record Type RHHRESP

This Record contains data from the Household Questionnaire and household level information from the Household Composition Form for respondent households. There is one record for each household.

Households with response code 16 ‘telephone interview only’ will have RHHRESP records, but with most variables taking the missing value code -7.

For the households with response code 15 – ‘proxy taken at original address’ the RHHRESP record will exist, entirely consist of missing values. In addition a small number of households were missing household questionnaires – these may be identified from the variable RHHDC.

Derived and additional variables are those from RHHDC onwards. Of these, RXHWGHT RREGION and RLADISTC are direct copies of variables on record NHHSAMP.

The following variables have data for all missing cases imputed:

RMGNEW	RXPMG	RHSVAL	RRENT	RRENTG	RXPHSN
RXPHSG	RFIHHMN	RFIHHML	RFIHHMNL	RFIHHMP	RFIHHMB
RFIHHMT	RFIHHMI	RFIHHYR	RFIHHYL	RFIHHYNL	RFIHHYP
