Have I "completed" college? - PSB The purpose of this question is to determine whether the student is the first in his/her family to attend college (i.e., the highest level completed by either parent is middle or high school).
Sex, education levels (highest level completed) and sector of current employment (governmental, non-governmental, self-employed, employer, homemaker, unemployed, student, retired and other) were the remaining external variables.
The chronically ill children were on average 10.0 (SD 4.4) years, and mean time since diagnosis was 7.9 (SD 4.2) years (Table 2). 1 Highest level completed.
Education was also recorded as the highest level completed in seven categories from "Less than 9th Grade" to "Graduate or Professional Degree".
Sociodemographic variables recorded were marital status, living conditions, country of origin according to place of birth or parental place of birth, occupational status and education (highest level completed according to the Norwegian education system).
Family level of education (LE) was determined on the basis of the highest level completed by either the father or mother, in 6 categories subsequently reduced to 3: primary school or lower; secondary level (baccalaureate or technical training) and university qualifications.
In model 2, we additionally adjusted for total energy intake (kJ/d), body mass index (kg/m2), alcohol intake (no, low to moderate, or high), current cigarette smoking, high educational level (completed higher vocational training or university), parental history of MI.
The final model included study site, highest education level completed, homelessness, highest level of drugs ever used, and perceived social support.
Subjects with a high educational level completed the questionnaire themselves; interviewers later checked the responses in a face-to-face manner with the respondents.
We determined the SES by categorizing the women into three levels of education using the highest school level completed by either the women or her husband as low (< 10 years), medium (= 10 years), high (> 10 years).
