This variable list document summarizes the content and coverage of the dataset. For full variable definitions see below. For lookup tables for coded variables see the Metadata tab.
In most cases researchers will want to use the I-CeM coded variables rather than raw string data because these have been checked for consistency and accuracy.
For numeric variables missing data are indicated by 999999 values. Blank or missing data for character string variables are record as a single dash (-).
