User Note:It is important to note that starting in the HRS 2006 Core interview the question wording and format for the self-assessed race questions were changed. In short, respondents were able to identify themselves as part of more than one racial category. Every respondent was asked the new version of the question. Those who indicated multiple races were then asked, “Do you consider yourself primarily (first mention, second mention, etc.)?” For each new version of Tracker the most recent Core data is used to update RACE if this value is missing in the Tracker data. In cases where more than one race is mentioned in the Core interview, the follow-up question about the respondent’s primary race is used to calculate RACE. If the primary race question is not answered, the first mentioned race is used. ................................................................................. 11438 0. Not obtained 24220 1.
