The master data files are for CUSC-CCREU members only. If your university participates as a member in a CUSC survey, you will receive the master data file in Excel and SPSS formats, in English and French. They contain responses to closed‐ended survey questions from students at all participating member universities who were in a standard sample (see Standard sample) and completed the survey (see Completed survey).
Master data files contain more than 300 variables (columns) and thousands of records (one row for each respondent, disaggregated); see the sample below. They include the weight variable (see Sample weighting) which PRA uses to generate statistics for most reports (see Reports). The responses to experiments and survey module questions may also be included.
If your university participates as a member in CUSC-CCREU surveys, it will need to sign and abide by the Data Licensing & Membership Agreement which restricts how the master data files can be used.
