yt_popcode: Assign people to a demographic group for a given year,...

In PHSKC-APDE/Housing: Organizes public housing authority data into a longitudinal record

Assign people to a demographic group for a given year, prioritize YT.

Description

yt_popcode assigns people in the SHA data to a demographic group.

Usage

yt_popcode(
  df,
  year = 12,
  year_pre = "pt",
  year_suf = NULL,
  agency = NULL,
  enroll_type = NULL,
  dual = NULL,
  yt = NULL,
  ss = NULL,
  pt_cut = 30,
  min = T
)

Arguments

df	A data frame
year	An integer that describes the calendar year being examined. Used to identify the person-time variable.
year_pre	A string that prefixes the year in the person-time variable.
year_suf	A string that suffixes the year in the person-time variable.
agency	A named variable that specifies the agency.
enroll_type	A named variable that specifies the enrollment type.
dual	A named variable that specifies a person's dual eligibility.
yt	A named variable that specifies the Yesler Terrace flag. Must be binary (0/1).
ss	A named variable that specifies the scattered sites flag. Must be binary (0/1).
pt_cut	The threshold in person-days a person should meet in order to be considered at YT/SS in that year
min	Flag to keep the minimum pop_code.

Details

This function is specific to Seattle Housing Authority's data. It assigns a numeric code to each row in the data where person-time has accumulated for that calendar year. Codes are assigned as follows: (#1-5 assume simultaneous Medicaid enrollment and not dual eligible): 1) At least 30 days at YT that year = YT, 2) No YT but 30+ days at SS that year = SS, 3) No YT or SS but in SHA for 30+ days = SHA, 4) Not YT/SS/SHA but in KCHA for 30+ days = KCHA, 5) No 30+ days in any PHA = non-PHA Medicaid, 6-10) Same as #1-5 but only dual eligible, 11-15) Same as #1-5 but dual eligible is NA, 16-18) Only time in SHA (+/- YT and SS) and no Medicaid, 19) Only time in KCHA and no Medicaid

If the min flag is true, only takes the smallest numeric code produced is kept for that year and new demographic variables are calculated. Taking the smallest code prioritizes a person's time at Yesler Terrace when they were also enrolled in Medicaid.

It is assumed that the df has variables for housing authority, enrollment type, dual eligibility, and person-time for that calendar year. Also assumes that yt_flag has been run to identify people living at YT or scattered sites.

Eventually could expand to accommodate non-calendar years using the time_range function.
