Hi,<br>
When I extracted the information from the records, if a respondent had
no psychiatric diagnoses I recorded a 'none' for variables 1 through 6.
So, if I recode the responses from 'none' to 'missing' for variables 2
through 6 it will solve my problem since the only 'none' response that
will be counted is for the first variable. Does this sound right?<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jan<br>

<pre>Hi,
I have a multiple response situation. I extracted from medical records
the respondent's psychiatric diagnoses. Some respondents had no
diagnoses, some 1, some 2 etc. I created 6 variables (Psy1 to Psy6) to
record the results. Each variable has 8 possible values coded 0 to 7.
The first possible value is '0' or none. My problem is that in the
resulting crosstabs table, 'none' gets counted 1813 times for 430
respondents since almost everyone has fewer than 6 diagnoses and thus
comes up with a none in one or more of the variables. I want to count
'none' only one time for an individual respondent.
Thanks, Jan
I used the below syntax I found on the listserv:
AUTORECODE VARIABLES=Psy1 Psy2 Psy3 Psy4 Psy5 Psy6
/INTO nPsy1 nPsy2 nPsy3 nPsy4 nPsy5 nPsy6
/GROUP
/BLANK=MISSING
/PRINT.
MULT RESPONSE
/groups=diagnoses 'diagnoses' ((1,8))
/variables = MR_sex (0,1)
/tables= MR_sex by diagnoses
/base = cases
/cells = all.
