Synopsis:

$-$ This week we$$ll focus on coding surveys $($giving survey items a number value to be used in

SPSS$).$ This assignment will give you the opportunity to practice coding using an existing

instrument.

Necessary Materials:

$-$ Readings and videos regarding survey coding

Directions:

$-$ Directions $$ You$$ve been provided a copy of a portion of an existing health$-$related survey.

Please take a moment to examine the survey and answer the following questions.
