An earlier but still useful form of this codebook is available in a bound book available from the Social Science Data Archives, Research School of Social Sciences (SSDA), the Australian National University, Canberra 0200 Australia.
This file gives conditions of use and a brief list of variables. The full codebook follows, repeating the SSDA codebook, which in turn reflects documentation provided to the SSDA by the principal investigators.

This edition of the data and codebook supplants earlier versions. The previous data file, now supplanted, was SSDA Study Number 423. This version differs mainly in various corrections and improvements in the raw data.
Data cleaning and preparation are by the authors. The present file also incorporates data cleaning and preparation by the Social Science Data Archive (Australian National University), for which we thank them.

Variable names are in a separate file, which will give a quick over-view. Full details are in the codebook (above).
