active_transport1_fun: Daily active transportation (2001-2005)

In cchsflow: Transforming and Harmonizing CCHS Variables

Daily active transportation (2001-2005)

Description

This function creates a derived variable for daily time spent traveling in active ways. This includes walking and biking. This function is used for CCHS 2001-2005.

Usage

active_transport1_fun(PAC_4A_cont, PAC_4B_cont)

Arguments

PAC_4A_cont	number of hours walk work/school in week in the past 3 months.
PAC_4B_cont	number of hours bike work/school in week in the past 3 months.

Value

Continuous variable for active transportation (active_transport)

Examples

# Using active_transport1_fun() to determine daily time spent 
# traveling in active ways values across CCHS 2001-2005.

# active_transport1_fun() is specified in variable_details.csv along with the CCHS
# variables and cycles included.

# To transform active_transport across cycles, use rec_with_table() for each
# CCHS cycle and specify active_transport, along with each activity variable.
# Then by using merge_rec_data(), you can combine active_transport across
# cycles
