Missing Data	Prior to 2008, missing data and not applicable data were left as blank. These values are not differentiated. The current policy is to identify the missing data as follows: -a coded value would be composed of 9s such that the entire length of the field is filled. For example a code of' '999' would be used for a missing field of three characters. -not applicable or skipped variables are left blank
Processing Checks	All files have been checked for the following: 1. All variables have been clearly defined and labelled 2. All categories (value labels) have been clearly defined 3. All cases have unique identification (no duplicates) 4. The frequencies of expected respondents checked with the actual section and inconsistencies noted. 5. Skip patterns have been verified 6. Structure edits have been performed
Notes	Weights are not computed. This is because there were not enough informations on how the weights were imputed against the variables. The hhid variable in this data is a combination of uniqueid and pn variables.This id is created purposely to create unique identifier. The variable hhid in this data has nothing to do with the data set.The user is therefore advise not to use this identifier for anything.
