Answers to all questions that allow for multiple responses have dummy variables as final data. E.g. question BR005 (“What do or did you smoke”) has three answer categories: 1.Cigarettes 2. Pipe 3. Cigars or cigarillos The data set contains three dummies: BR005d1, BR005d2 and BR005d3 corresponding to the three categories. A value “1” means that the respondent chose the particular category as answer, and in case of “0” the respondent did not choose the particular category as answer.
