ICPSR PROCESSING NOTE FOR # 31481 2008 National Asian American Survey
ICPSR Notes

• For consistency, ICPSR has added value labels according to the codebook deposited bythe principal investigator.
2) Data File Conversion:
• ICPSR converted the original STATA data file into a STATA Version 9 data file forprocessing purposes. No changes were made to the data because of this.
Principal Investigator Notes

•
To help protect confidentiality of subjects, any county or state where the relevantnational origin group has fewer than 5,000 residents is labeled as "PROTECTED".

Data Completeness Report
Notes: (1) Variables are individually listed only if they have greater than 5% missing data. These variables are listed under
the appropriate percentage category in the order in which they appear in the data file. (2) The Data Completeness Report
only captures information about system missing or other values that are declared missing. Codes that have a label implying
that they are missing but that are not declared missing values are not reflected in this report. Data users should consult the
codebook for more specific information about missing values. (3) Some variables that have 100% missing data may have
been blanked by ICPSR to protect respondent confidentiality. Data users should consult the codebook for more specific
information about blanked variables. (4) Data do not contain skip patterns or skip patterns are not reflected in the data as
coded.

Variable Description and Frequencies
Note: Frequencies displayed for the variables are not weighted.
They are purely descriptive and may not be representative of the
study population. Please review any sampling or weighting
information available with the study.
Summary statistics (minimum, maximum, mean, median, and
standard deviation) may not be available for every variable in
the codebook. Conversely, a listing of frequencies in table format
may not be present for every variable in the codebook either.
However, all variables in the dataset are present and display
sufficient information about each variable. These decisions are
