Codes and Frequencies
Description
For sample adults in 2005 who had taken any beta carotene during at least 1 month of the past 12 months (VITABETAMO), VITABETATP reports the time period ("days per week," "days per month," or "other") respondents used to report how frequently they had taken beta carotene during the relevant months.
Interviewers elicited these responses by asking, "During [the/those] month(s), about how many [days [per week]/days per month] did you take beta carotene?" VITABETATP must be interpreted in conjunction with VITABETANO, which reports respondents' answers to the question in terms of number of days.
