2014 Panel Wave 1: RFOODR and RFOODS
The food security variables RFOODR and RFOODS were improperly edited in Wave 1. To get the correct version of these variables, take the following steps:
1) If EFOOD1 equals 3, subtract 1 from RFOODR.
Example: if EFOOD1 = 3 then RFOODR = RFOODR - 1
2) Reconstruct RFOODS using the corrected version of RFOODR. If RFOODR equals 0 or 1, RFOODS equals 1. If RFOODR equals 2 or 3 or 4, RFOODS equals 2. If RFOODR equals 5 or 6, RFOODS equals 3.
Example:
If RFOODR = (0, 1) then RFOODS = 1
If RFOODR = (2, 3, 4) then RFOODS = 2
If RFOODR = (5, 6) then RFOODS = 3
