Subject SES

Overview

Kristi and Meredith have compiled a table of basic demographic/SES info for all our Project 2 subjects.

Warning

This information is based on information collected during a subject’s first home visit at 14 months of age. Note that some of the variables are susceptible to change (PCG, income, education, etc.) at later timepoints.

The Project 2 SES data file is in TSV (tab-separated value) format. Column descriptions are given below.

To Do

This summary table could be extended to include change status variables for each variable susceptible of changing. For example, paired with the pcg column would be a pcg_change column, simply indicating whether the PCG value indicated changed at a later timepoint.
