Notes from the GHS

Question

I cannot find a detailed ethnicity variable in the GHS (2001-2002) - the individual client file. ETHNIC2 and ETHGP2 are very general pan-ethnic variables (White versus non-White in the former, and White, South Asian, Black etc. in the latter) whilst the detailed variables HRPETH and FUHETH do not apply to all persons.

Answer

NB: this was confirmed – ONS had taken ETHNIC off the dataset for confidentiality reasons. However, after negotiation with ESDS Government, ONS agreed to re-add this data and it has since been added to the 2001 dataset and will be retained in post-2001 datasets.
