Datasett: The Health of Houston Survey 2018 Pre-Harvey

Sammendrag

HHS2018 PRE-HARVEY DATA. The Health of Houston Survey 2018 Pre-Harvey is part of the Health of Houston Survey 2018 (HHS) Public Use Data File. Users can find study information and descriptions under the metadata for the main file, HHS2018 PUDF, or at the survey website (www.healthofhouston.org). The HHS conducted interviews in 2017, before Harvey at the end of August, as well as in 2018, six to nine months after Harvey. To make room for questions on Harvey's effects, some questions from the main survey were dropped, and as such, are asked only to the respondents interviewed before Harvey. For ease of use, we have included in this file variables related to the aforementioned questions, along with some sociodemographics, and those adult respondents who provided answers (n=2709). A specific weight ('Fnlwgt_pre') is available to make this sample representative of the adult population of Harris County.
