SEE VCF0201 FOR QUESTION TEXT. (1978 question wording same as 1980
and 1984.)
In 1974-1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings
for individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too
much." However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or
NA: even within a single study year, "don't know much/too much" may
not have been coded consistently to one MD category.
00-96. Degrees as coded
97. 97-100 Degrees
98. DK; don't recognize (1978 and later)
