Data file: combined_ses_hh
Data for household socio-economic status come from:
css_seh : Annual household survey [2007-2011]
gp_gphhold : General household form filled for various reasons [gathered SES data 1998-2007]
caps_blhse : Cooking and Pneumonia study [2014-2016]
NCD_combined_data_all_final [derived table] : NCD baseline survey [2016-2018]
Each household dataset is processed to ensure harmonisation of variable names and coding. They are then appended together and several score variables are created by combining data from multiple variables and converting to a deciles relative to the other records in the dataset with data in the same year (for further information see the variable listing or the do-file). As these scores of relative to records in the same year, they should not be used to assess trends over time. The resulting dataset has one line per household per date (i.e. if a household has taken part in several surveys/studies they will have multiple records). There has been no attempt to 'clean' the data.
In the variable labels (S) indicates that the variable is unchanged from the original source and (D) indicates that it is a 'derived' variable, often using more than one source variable. For both types information on where the data come from and how they are processed is found in the 'Recoding and Derivation' section
