Cohort A | Cohort B

Information on student's family structure and social-economic status on the parents, such as parental education, parental occupation, parental income, etc.
In Cycle 1, the YITS-B data are stored in a single master file. Starting from Cycle 2, data are split into several separate files. Due to this change, data structure and variable names may change from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2. Please keep this point in mind and use the data carefully.
In Cycle 1, this module is stored in the single master file. From Cycle 2, this module is stored in a file named "Person Level Main File".
