VAR 000262 Post.Summary.24. Flag-Post rand failure MD: EQ 9 COLUMNS: 1005 - 1005 Numeric Post-Summary.24. POST: Flag - randomization failure in Post admin --------------------------------------------------------------------- On 11/16/00 it was discovered that the survey instrument program had an error in setting randomization. Interviews --or, for some interviews administered over several days, portions of interviews --that were conducted prior to the correction of this error (in the 2nd VQ released on 11/16/00) were not administered with correctly functioning randomization. All cases administered prior to the correction of this error were administered as if only one choice in the randomization were available (in almost all cases, an identical choice). The randomization variables documented in V001752-V001810 describe the types of randomizations affected. 0. No randomization failure 1. Post randomization failure in at least a portion of the interview 9. No Post IW 0 1 9 ----- ----- ----- Count 1051 504 252 ==============================
