Thank you to Vincent, Haleigh, and Alan for your entries! Great coding! The [answer key][1] is now available. The tasks for this month's contest are available [here][2]. The tasks are also listed below for convenience. The data is available [here][3]. If you would like the codebook for the dataset, it can be accessed [here][4]. The entry form (google form) will start accepting responses [here][5] on August 1st. The contest will run until August 31st (latest time zone on earth). Please contact Kelly Cuccolo (kcuccolo@mivu.org) with any questions. **August Tasks** Data processing (level 1) - Write a script that will filter out participants who are missing values for the age variable Descriptive Statistics (level 2) - Create a variable called FACEcomm (Family Communication) by adding together the following items FACES43 + FACES44 + FACES45 + FACES46 + FACES47 + FACES48 + FACES49 + FACES50 + FACES51 + FACES52 - Note the average, standard deviation, and median values for the FACEcomm variable. - Create a variable called SSBQtotal (Total Safe Sex Behavior) through two steps. - Reverse Score SBQ2 INTO SBQ2R, SBQ7 INTO SBQ7R, SBQ8 INTO SBQ8R, SBQ14 INTO SBQ14R, SBQ16 INTO SBQ16R, SBQ17 INTO SBQ17R, SBQ22 INTO SBQ22R, SBQ24 INTO SBQ24R, SBQ25 INTO SBQ25R (1 = Always 2 = Most of the time 3 = Sometimes 4 = Never) - Add the following items together: SBQ1 + SBQ2R + SBQ3 + SBQ4 + SBQ5 + SBQ6 + SBQ7R + SBQ8R + SBQ9 + SBQ10 + SBQ11 + SBQ12 + SBQ13 + SBQ14R + SBQ15 + SBQ16R + SBQ17R + SBQ18 + SBQ19 + SBQ20 + SBQ21 + SBQ22R + SBQ23 + SBQ24R + SBQ25R - Note the average, standard deviation, and median values for the SSBQtotal variable Data visualization (level 3) - Create a bar graph that shows the mean levels of FACEcomm and SSBQtotal Inferential statistics (level 4) - Test if there is an association between total safe sex behavior (SSBQtotal) and family communication (FACEcomm).
