Individual Education Master File

The CHNS Individual Education Master File contains information regarding education attained by survey individuals. As a longitudinal file, this file contains multiple years of data for each individual.  An individual can have from 1 to 6 years of data as designated by the WAVE variable which contains the survey year, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000 or 2004. 

This file consolidates individual education data from 7 survey files:

1989

1991

1993

C91HH3

This file represents an extensive effort to clean the data by correcting inconsistencies in the A11 and A12 variables.  Both programmatic and manual correction procedures were used to clean the data based on reviewing all years of education data for an individual.

No effort was made to clean the A11A_93 or the A13 variables.
