        General Note:                                                         
        CAPI administration (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) began in
        1996. Similar to the "Form" variable (VCF0012) of previous, non-CAPI  
        studies, vars VCF0012A and VCF0012B describe variations in the        
        instrument's handling of substantive content-- i.e. variations        
        resulting from Study planning for content inclusion. Typically, such  
        variations constitute split-sample administration of questions/       
        question versions/question placement in order to increase the number  
        of survey questions in the study, compare question versions, etc.     
        Vars VCF0012/VCF0012A/VCF0012B differ from Cumulative Data File vars  
        VCF0015A/B in that the shortened interviews described in the latter   
        are the result of problem, error, or adjustments for budgetary or     
        administrative necessity, e.g. the demand to meet target for          
        completed interviews or to reduce cost.                               
                                                                              
        Note that with the introduction of CAPI, question content varies no   
        longer according to separate printed questionnaires, but according to 
        CAPI logic, which presents questions onscreen for the interviewer to  
        use.                                                                  
                                                                              
        In 1996, half-samples were randomly selected to administer each set of
        1996 questions F1-F4 and H4-H8.  Affected variables in the Cumulative 
        Data File are VCF0314-VCF0324 (from series F1-F4) and VCF0522 (from   
        series H1-H4).                                                        
                                                                              
        In 1998, there was no subsampling (e.g. half-samples) in the          
        administration.
