Codebook Data

The Codebook HDSS Sleman contains a list of HDSS Sleman data variables. There are 47 pages in the codebook: Three pages of notes or instructions, three pages about variables resulting from data processing or not directly from interviews, and the rest, each related to specific topics, such as non-communicable disease-related question modules, communicable diseases, immunization, physical activity, access and utilization of healthcare services, and others.

Codebook Explanation

The “Notes” page contains a list of codebooks along with descriptions and links to their respective pages (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Display of the ‘Notes’ page

The “Notes2” page provides explanations for the information found in each codebook table (Figure 2). The same information is also presented in Table 1.

Table 1. Description of the codebook table

Column Name
Descriptions
Seq. num. Represent the question order in the interview
Variable Variable names. The numbers within variable names do not indicate the order in which the questions are asked
Module code
Clear
w1 Equal to 1 if the variable is used in Wave 1
w2 Equal to 2 if the variable is used in Wave 2
w3 Equal to 3 if the variable is used in Wave 3
w4 Equal to 4 if the variable is used in Wave 4
w5 Equal to 5 if the variable is used in Wave 5
w6 Equal to 6 if the variable is used in Wave 6
w7 Equal to 7 if the variable is used in Wave 7
w8 Equal to 8 if the variable is used in Wave 8
Question The question used in the interview or information about the data stored in that variable
Options This column contains the code and answer choices for the question. If there are no answer options, it means the question is open-ended
Question routing Direction to the next question asked in the interview
Respondent type Characteristics of respondents the question is intended for, or respondent expected to answer the question
Data type
type of value a variable hold
Keyword Words or phrases that describe the data, making it easier to locate information within the codebook

The “Notes3” page provides an explanation of question routing (Figure 3). You can also find the same information in Table 2.

Table 2. Example of Question Routing interpretations

Question Routing
Explanation
kmt03 –>kmt04 The question asked after kmt03 is kmt04
if art05x=1–> art05
else –> art06a
If question art05x is answered with “1,” then the next question asked is art05

But if question art05x is answered with anything other than “1,” then the next question asked is art06a

[W2-4]
If art07a_=1 –> art07_1_,
[W2] else –> next module
[W3,4] else –> art16a_

[W5-8]
if art07a_=1 –> art39_, else art16a_

In many cases, the same question has different routes in different Waves

In Waves 2, 3, and 4, if art07a_ is answered with “1,” the next question is art07_1_

If art07a_ is answered with anything other than “1,” then the next question is:
-In Wave 2: the next module
-In Wave 3 and 4: art16a_

In Waves 5, 6, 7, and 8, if art07a_ is answered with “1,” the next question is art39_,
If art07a_ is answered with anything other than “1,” then the next question is art16a_

[W2-6]
if art32a_1_=1 –> art35ax_1_1_,
else –> next module

[W7-8]
if art32a_1_=1 –> art35ax_1_1_,

if art32a_1_=2 or  3 & art30a_=1 –> next module

if art32a_1_=2 or 3 & art30a_>1 –> art32a_2_

This question routing is used to direct to the subsequent question after question art34_1_

art34_1_ asks about the method of delivery in the most recent pregnancy event. The answer options are:
1. Normal pervaginam
2. Sectio caesarea
3. Don’t know

The routing is determined by question art32a_1_ “outcome of this pregnancy event” (1. Live birth, 2. Stillbirth, and 3. Abortion)

In Wave 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, if art32a_1_ is answered as “1” (live birth), the subsequent question after art34_1_ is art35ax_1_1_

If art32a_1_ is answered with anything other than “1,” the following question depends on the context:
-In Wave 2-6: proceed to the next section.
-In Wave 3 and 4: it depends on the answer to question art30a (number of pregnancy events).
— If the number of pregnancy events is 1, then move on to the next module.
— If the number of pregnancy events is more than 1, proceed to question art32a_2_

Figure 4. Display of the “codebook-art_n” page

Figure 4 illustrates the layout of the codebook page. Each codebook page comes with an active “AutoFilter” feature, designed to make it easier for users to find the information they need.

Typically, all questions related to the same topic are presented in a single table, although not all of them are utilized in every data collection Wave. For instance, in Figure 3, art05b and art05b_95 have a value of “0” in columns w1 and w2. This indicates that both variables are only employed during Waves 3-8. As for art49_, this variable is only utilized in Wave 8.

How to AutoFilters

You can utilize the AutoFilter feature to locate, hide, or display values in one or more columns of the codebook table. So, if users wish to view a list of variables used in a specific Wave, they can utilize AutoFilters in columns w1-w8.

To use AutoFilters, simply select values from the list or search for your desired keyword in the search box.

Using List to filter

1. Click the arrow in the column header.

2. Choose from the listed values.

First, clear all the checkboxes by unchecking the “Select All” option. Next, check the boxes for the specific value(s) you want and click “Apply”.

Using Search Box to filter

1. Click the arrow in the column header, then click in the Search box

2. Type text or numbers that you want to find in the Search box.
