Exclusion of 'i don't know` responses in raw data

[josephholler]

At some point we made a decision to collapse the "I don't know" responses with NAs. This happens, for example, in the Q8 questions.

The most raw survey data in the repo right now is raw_hegs_rpr.rds, but the "I don't know" responses in that file are already recorded as NAs. Based on this:

• It seems like an "excluding" option in Qualtrics modified the behavior of the API to pull NAs for any type of response that was excluded.
• We do have code in the cleaning scripts to deal with the "I don't know" style responses
• Will be better to reset Qualtrics to include these types of responses in the API pull and then re-save raw_hegs_rpr.rds inclusive of those responses.
• Crosstab Q8_6 with subfields & methods prior to switching 'i don't know' to NA

I just did some searching and I think this setting would have to be changed at the level of every question & excluded response. I'm not sure that it's worth the effort to do that at this point.
