Description
For sample adults who had participated in dancing in the past 2 weeks (EXDANCE), EXDANCEMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent dancing each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.
After determining that a respondent participated in dancing, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you go dancing?" (EXDANCENO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend dancing each time?" EXDANCEMIN reports the answer to this last question.
