adl_fun | R Documentation |
This derived variable (ADL_der) is based on the CCHS derived variable ADLF6R which flags respondents who need help with tasks based on their response to the various activities of daily living (ADL) variables.
adl_fun(ADL_01, ADL_02, ADL_03, ADL_04, ADL_05)
ADL_01 |
Needs help preparing meals |
ADL_02 |
Needs help getting to appointments/errands |
ADL_03 |
Needs help doing housework |
ADL_04 |
Needs help doing personal care |
ADL_05 |
Needs help moving inside house |
The CCHS derived variable ADLF6R uses different ADL variables across the various CCHS survey cycles. This newly derived variable (ADL_der) uses ADL variables that are consistent across CCHS cycles.
In the 2001 CCHS survey cycle, the ADLF6R variable examines the following ADL variables:
ADL_01 - Needs help preparing meals
ADL_02 - Needs help getting to appointments/errands
ADL_03 - Needs help doing housework
ADL_04 - Needs help doing personal care
ADL_05 - Needs help moving inside house
ADL_07 - Needs help doing heavy household chores
In the 2003-2005 CCHS survey cycles, the ADLF6R variable examines the following ADL variables:
ADL_01 - Needs help preparing meals
ADL_02 - Needs help getting to appointments/errands
ADL_03 - Needs help doing housework
ADL_04 - Needs help doing personal care
ADL_05 - Needs help moving inside house
ADL_06 - Needs help doing finances
ADL_07 - Needs help doing heavy household chores
In the 2007-2014 CCHS survey cycles, the ADLF6R variable examines the following ADL variables:
ADL_01 - Needs help preparing meals
ADL_02 - Needs help getting to appointments/errands
ADL_03 - Needs help doing housework
ADL_04 - Needs help doing personal care
ADL_05 - Needs help moving inside house
ADL_06 - Needs help doing finances
This newly derived variable (ADL_der) uses ADL_01 to ADL_05 which are consistent across all survey cycles. For any single CCHS survey year, it is appropriate to use ADLF6R. ADL_der is recommended when using multiple survey cycles.
A derived variable (ADL_der) with 2 categories:
- Needs help with tasks
- Does not need help with tasks
# Using adl_fun() to create ADL_der values across CCHS cycles # adl_fun() is specified in variable_details.csv along with the # CCHS variables and cycles included. # To transform ADL_der, use rec_with_table() for each CCHS cycle # and specify ADL_der, along with the various ADL variables. # Then by using merge_rec_data() you can combine ADL_der across cycles. library(cchsflow) adl2001 <- rec_with_table( cchs2001_p, c( "ADL_01", "ADL_02", "ADL_03", "ADL_04", "ADL_05", "ADL_der" ) ) head(adl2001) adl2009_2010 <- rec_with_table( cchs2009_2010_p, c( "ADL_01", "ADL_02", "ADL_03", "ADL_04", "ADL_05", "ADL_der" ) ) tail(adl2009_2010) combined_adl <- merge_rec_data(adl2001, adl2009_2010) head(combined_adl) tail(combined_adl) # Using adl_fun() to generate to ADL_der based on user inputted values. # # Let's say you do not need help preparing meals, you need help getting to # appointments or errands, you need help doing housework, do not need help # doing personal care, and do not need help moving inside the house. Using # adl_fun() we can check if you need help doing tasks ADL_der <- adl_fun(2, 1, 1, 2, 2) print(ADL_der)
