often say something like, "There's a 10-20 percent
chance of rain tomorrow," meaning there's not much
chance that it will rain. Using the same idea, what
do you think the chances are that it will be sunny
tomorrow?

sunny weather, and "100" means a 100 percent chance
and you may say any number in between.)

C3. I'll read a set of 20 words and ask you to recall
as many as you can. We have purposely made the list
long so that it will be difficult for anyone to
recall all the words -- most people recall just a
few.
Please listen carefully as I read the set of words.
When I finish, I will ask you to recall aloud as
many of the words as you can, in any order. Do you
have any questions?
PROBE AS NEEDED FOR UNDERSTANDING OF TASK AND
WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE.
READ THE ITEMS AT A SLOW, STEADY RATE AS THEY COME
UP ON THE SCREEN, APPROXIMATELY ONE WORD EVERY TWO
SECONDS.
C4. Now please tell me the words you can recall.
PERMIT AS MUCH TIME AS R WISHES -- UP TO ABOUT 2
MINUTES. RECORD RESPONSE ON THE COVERSHEET.
REMAIN IN THIS SCREEN UNTIL DONE.

variables are duplicated between those files and here
because they are useful in both places.
- Variables in this file have been renamed consecutively,

FAMFLAG Family Respondent Problem Flag
_____________________________________________________________
The intent when collecting HRS2 was to have only one
respondent in a household provide the family
information; this person was dubbed the "Family
Respondent". However, two types of problems
occured: too many Family Respondents (more than one
per household), and not enough Family Respondents
(none in the household).
Too many Family Respondents:
In ten paired households (20 respondents), family
information was given by more than one respondent,
resulting in more than one Family Respondent per
household. Unfortunately, the information given
by each person was not always consistent, and so
the solution to the problem is left to the user,
and is best dealt with prior to analyzing the data.
Not enough Family Respondents:
In nine paired households (18 respondents), no
persons gave family information and thus there is
no Family Respondent. In 293 single households
(293 respondents), the respondent gave no family
information. [NOTE: Approximately 45% of the
aforementioned "single" persons with no family
information were in fact deceased.]
0. Respondent is in a household that contains
one Family Respondent
(no special attention needed)
1. Respondent is in a household that contains
two Family Respondents
(will require special attention by analyst)
2. Respondent is in a household that contains
no Family Respondent

Type A or Type B?

(In some retirement plans, Type A, benefits are
usually based on a formula involving age, years of
service and salary. In other plans, Type B, money
is accumulated in an account for you.) Is your plan
Type A or Type B?
401-K, 403-B, ESOP, SRA, THRIFT/SAVINGS, STOCK/
PROFIT SHARING, MONEY PURCHASE PLANS ARE ALL TYPE B
RETIREMENT PLANS. TYPE B PLANS ARE OFTEN CALLED

W4429, FB43. Most pension plans have a normal retirement age at
W4481, which full benefits--sometimes called unreduced
W4533 benefits--can be received. Some plans allow
retirement at an earlier age, usually with reduced
benefits. And in many plans, normal retirement age
depends on years of service.

of providers, and you pay only a small fee for each
visit. In a PPO, you can chose a physician from a

see a physician who is not part of the list if you
pay extra. In a traditional fee for service plan,
you can go to any physician you like, but you may

W6727 R6. Is this plan a Health Maintenance Organization
W6741 (sometimes called an HMO), a Preferred Provider
Organization (sometimes called a PPO), or a
traditional Fee For Service Plan (FFS)?
In an HMO, all of your care is provided by a group
of providers, and you pay only a small fee for each
visit. In a PPO, you can chose a physician from a
list of doctors participating in your plan, and can
see a physician who is not part of the list if you
pay extra. In a traditional fee for service plan,
you can go to any physician you like, but you may
have to pay for part of the cost.
