<big><big>I want to calculate a new variable AUDITC_Score. It will be
dichotomous with 0 (no) and 1 (yes). The threshold for </big></big><big><big>AUDITC_Score
</big></big><big><big>'yes' for women is </big></big>≥
<big><big> 4 and for men ≥ 5. The threshold is calculated as the sum of
the points for three separate variables: AUDIT_Freq, AUDIT_Daily, and
AUDIT_GT5. Gender is MR_sex with 1=male and 2=female. I can calculate
the score (using the drop down menu <span class="moz-smiley-s2"><span>
:-( </span></span>) but can't figure out how to make it different for
men and women. I'm working on using syntax instead of the drop down so
a syntax answer would be great. I'll use it as a template for other
derived variables. (I am using PASW 18.)<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
Jan<br>
