| Description | Patient Health Questionnaire-4 as an EMA, 4 items, 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day): nervous/anxious/on edge, unable to stop worrying, down/depressed/hopeless, little interest or pleasure. 218 people, 35,348 reports. College Experience Study EMA, Dartmouth undergraduates, 2017-09 to 2022-07; about one report every six days per person. wave is each person's report number in date order (shared by nepal_2024_phq4 and nepal_2024_state_self_esteem); date is the report's calendar date (Unix seconds, 00:00 UTC; no time of day). No covariates. |

This codebook is reconstructed by the IRW from the IRW data standard and the script that built it, nepal_2024_college_experience.py. It is our best reading, not the source’s own codebook, and it may contain mistakes. Where the two disagree, the source data are the authority. If you find an error, please tell us.
| Column | What it is | Source column |
|---|---|---|
| IRW standard columns | ||
date | IRW standard Calendar time in seconds — either seconds elapsed since data collection start (relative) or Unix time (absolute). | made in the build script |
id | IRW standard Identifier for the focal unit being measured — typically a person, but sometimes another entity (e.g., a word in a lexical task). | made in the build script |
item | IRW standard Item identifier. | made in the build script |
resp | IRW standard Response value. | made in the build script |
wave | IRW standard Longitudinal wave indicator. | made in the build script |
What item codes and covariate values stand for is in the codebook released with the source data.
