Quality and other technical information related to this item:
1993
Research indicated these response categories were moderately unreliable. The "Other-Specify"
response category was used by 25 percent of NSCG respondents, 2 percent of SDR, and 4 percent
of NSRCG respondents. Most of these responses were back-coded to category 'a' ("to further my
education before beginning a career"). Item nonresponse for the filter question, D7, was 1.5
percent for the NSCG and SDR and less than one percent for the NSRCG. Since D8 asked respondents
to mark "yes" or "no" for each of nine response categories, some respondents only marked "yes"
responses, converting this into a "mark all that apply" question. Consequently, item nonresponse
for the NSCG data was high prior to applying the editing rules.
