II. VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION
Instructions: This section should describe your variables and provide enough information for a future user to interpret and use them correctly. A good question to ask is: Is there anything that a future user would need to know about the variable construction or set up to use these data?

If the codebook covers multiple datasets, please divide the codebook into sections where each section corresponds to one of the datasets.
