response category were assigned "08", and in cases where the respondent
refused to answer Hispanic origin or didn't know it, this variable was
assigned "09" and "11", respectively. When Hispanic origin was not
ascertained, this variable was assigned "10". In cases where
"Other-specify" responses were determined to be non-Hispanic, this
variable was assigned "12" for not Hispanic/Spanish origin, and ORIGIN
was back coded to "2" or "No" (no group represented respondent's
national origin). Respondents coded as "12" answered 2,7,8, or 9 in
ORIGIN. Data came from HHC.330 & HHC.340.
