Description

For sample adults who had participated in gardening in the past 2 weeks (EXYARD), EXYARDMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent gardening each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.

After determining that a respondent participated in gardenning, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you participate in gardening?" (EXYARDNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend gardening each time?" EXYARDMIN reports the answer to this last question.

Related Variables
