Multiple choice variables exist in REDCap data as a set of 0/1/TRUE/FALSE variables, where 1/TRUE represents a selected/checked answer. Hence, for a single multiple choice 'question' in the datadictionary/metadata with n options, there are n variables. Each variable is the variable name (e.g. morbidities) followed by 3 underscores (___) and the option number (e.g. 1) - morbidities___1.

Value

data.frame with variables var (variable), label (the variable label), vals (possible values for the variable) and labs (the labels related to each value in vals)

data.frame with variables ovar (the variable as it appears in the data dictionary/metadata), var (the variable as it appears in the data itself), vlabel (the variable label), vals (possible values for the variable) and labs (the labels related to each value in vals)
