Description

Followup to #1346. Set answer code 13 to NA before checking if col is all NA.

Changelog

  • variables.R

Fixes

In rare cases, vaccine_barriers <- ifelse(vaccine_barriers == "13", NA, vaccine_barriers) or vaccine_barriers <- ifelse(input_data$V15b == "13", NA, input_data$V15b) will make a column all NA when it wasn't before. This happens when the only non-NA responses have answer code "13".

@capnrefsmmat FYI. I'm thinking the more robust fix is to change split_options to return a list of NA if given a column of all NA. I don't think that messes up any of our other logic, but that'll need a more careful look and more code changes, so I'll do it in a separate PR.

if the entire column is NA, and (thus) ifelse() results in a logical vector, how does that affect any(!is.na(vaccine_barriers))?

is.na appears to have the same behavior for logical NA and character missing (NA_character_), but I'll explicitly cast to character to be safe. The downstream is_selected also appears to work correctly with logical NA but expects strings.
