usethnicity: Data from Youth Risk Behaviour Survey

In mabafaba/categorical: Representing and Manipulating categorical data in R

Description

(data including this vignette and description etc. copied from Thomas Lumley's 'rimu' package https://github.com/tslumley/rimu) This data set contains variables on race and ethnic identification from the 2017 Youth Risk Behaviour Survey, together with two variables on smoking behaviour. The YRBS is a multistage cluster-sampled survey, so valid inference about associations requires using survey design information. This subset is useful only for demonstration purposes.
