The score variable in this dataset is a food security score, based on questions 1001-1005. It is calculated as follows:

gen score = 0
replace score = score + s1001-1 if s1001 < 9
replace score = score + s1002-1 if s1002 < 9
replace score = score + s1003-1 if s1003 < 9
replace score = score + s1004-1 if s1004 < 9
replace score = score + s1005-1 if s1005 < 9
replace score = . if s1001 == 9 | s1002 == 9 | s1003 == 9 | s1004 == 9 | s1005 == 9

with 0 being most secure and 15 being the least secure.
