Sedentary activity #114

Open kittychenn opened 2 years ago

kittychenn commented 2 years ago

Sedentary activities in CCHS cycles include time on computer, time playing video games, time watching tv or videos, and time spent reading. There is a slight variation in age groups for video games, so there are two variables for ages <20 and 20+ (SAC_2_B and SAC_2_A).

Total time spent doing sedentary activities adds the four activities. There is also another function that adds all activities except for reading. Total time spent is limited to age 20+. I could add total time spent for age <20 if needed.

For CCHS 2017-2018, sedentary activity was changed to daily screen time. A derived variable for weekly screen time was created, as well as age restrictions (<20 and 20+). Should I add weekly leisure screen time to the total time spent doing sedentary activities function?

@CBjerke @DougManuel I think this PR is okay to merge, but let me know what you think of the sedentary activity variables
