        -------------------------------------------------------------------

        Study years for which no language variable appeared in released
        data are coded 0 Inap in both VCF0018a and VCF0018b.
        After 1994, no foreign language interviews and no interviews including
        translated portions were administered, however for studies prior
        to 1978 it is uncertain whether any full or partial translations
        occurred.

        This was a question for the interviewer.

        In 1988, a language variable appeared for the Pre but not the
        Post.

        In the 1992 Pre, a Spanish language version of the short questionnaire
        was administered to 22 cases; these 22 cases and 9 additional cases
        were coded in the language variable as including at least some
        translation.
