adl_score_5_fun | R Documentation |
A 6 category variable (ADL_score_5) representing the number of activities of daily living tasks that require help. This variable tallies the number of daily living tasks that a respondent requires help with based on various ADL variables that a respondent answered yes or no to. The ADL variables used are common across all CCHS cycles from 2001 to 2014.

# Use adl_score_5_fun() to create the variable ADL_score_5 across CCHS # cycles adl_score_5_fun() is specified in variable_details.csv along with # the CCHS variables and cycles included. # To transform ADL_score_5, use rec_with_table() for each CCHS cycle # and specify ADL_score_5, 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_score_5" ) ) head(adl2001) adl2009_2010 <- rec_with_table( cchs2009_2010_p, c( "ADL_01", "ADL_02", "ADL_03", "ADL_04", "ADL_05", "ADL_score_5" ) ) tail(adl2009_2010) combined_adl <- merge_rec_data(adl2001, adl2009_2010) head(combined_adl) tail(combined_adl) # Using adl_score_5_fun() to generate to ADL_score_5 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.
