GENERAL CODING RULES
1.
Use blue pencil for all coding work.
2.
Write all numbers on the non-stapled edge of the page.
3.
Put all codes next to the corresponding question on the page.
4.
Code Yes/No answers as: 1 = Yes, 2 = No.
5.
Code “0”, “00”, or “000” if a respondent appropriately skips a question. For example, if
a respondent answers “no” and then subsequently skips a question which is contingent on
a “yes” response.
6.
Code “9”, “99”, or “999” if a respondent does not answer a question s/he should have
answered.
7.
Round ½ and .5 to the nearest even number (e.g., respondent wrote 6.5, code 6).
8.
Look for unusual or random patterns that might indicate lack of attention.
9.
For questions about age or number of years, average and then round to the nearest even
number if two numbers are written.
10.
If a respondent circles more than one number on a scale: a). if the two numbers are in
sequence, circle in blue the number closer to the middle of the scale and cross out the
other answer; b). if the two numbers are at opposite ends of the scale then code “9” and
cross out both responses made by the respondent.
11.
If a respondent half circles a number or writes in a number and it is hard to read, make
sure to reinforce the response by writing over it in blue pencil or writing it over in the
margin after crossing it out. If a number is illegible, cross it out and code “9” for missing
data.
12.
If the respondent circles a number on an example scale found at the top of a series of
scale questions, cross it out.
13.
If the respondent checked off responses instead of writing numbers on the lines of a
series of scale questions, code “9” for missing data.
14.
If a respondent answers “4 to 6 months,” or another response that includes a length of
time instead of a specific response, then take an average and code the average (for
example, for 4-6 months, code 5 months).
