User guide for ELSA self-completion data: personal beliefs and wellbeing
Type: User Guides
Authors: Susan Nunn

This User Guide covers the ELSA self-completion data relating to personal beliefs and wellbeing, otherwise known as the Ryff scale. More detail about the Ryff scale, including The self-completion with which this data was collected is distinct from, and in addition to, the core self-completion questionnaires that respondents have been asked to complete during or after their main ELSA interview at each wave of ELSA.

For further information about other aspects of ELSA (such as the sample, the data collection methods used or the content of the main or nurse questionnaire), please see the relevant User Guides that are available from the Data Archive. This User Guide will cover only the questionnaire used to collect information on the Ryff scale. If you wish to link the data deposited here with other ELSA data at the Data Archive then you will need to use the unique analytical identifier (IDAUNIQ) to do so.
