Code demographic variables in responses
code_race_vars.Rd
Given a dataframe of survey responses, look for standard SurveyMonkey demographic questions and code/recode them into new variables that are more banner-, plot-, and analysis-friendly. Use code_std_demo_vars()
to perform all standard demographic recodes, or select the specific function you need. Run std_demo_vars()
to return the full index of SurveyMonkey's standard demographic variables.
