as 1980, 1984 and 1988.)
In 1980, this var was present in both the pre and post. The pre
version is represented here.
In 1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings for
individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too
much." However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or
NA: they may not have been coded consistently to one MD category.
