Overview

Change in sport-interest post-COVID

Responses to the item “How has your interest in playing sports in person changed since the loosening of COVID-19 restrictions (i.e. lifting vaccination, mask mandates)”

Internal - @Team, I’ve used this tab separated version to keep tables from getting too dense. I think it still allows the user to flip through quickly and check out all the fields as needed. Here, I dropped “race” and kept to “bipoc”, just to provide a high level overview. I think if someone wants to double-click on race, we can provide those data to them.

@Bryan, you’ll notice that the r code is now hidden. I can produce an internal copy with the full code for record keeping purposes. I think the doc right now is more readable without the code.

I have also deleted most “I don’t know’ and”Prefer not to answer” responses since they were not often endorsed, and it improved readability to have fewer categories. Can be added back if needed.

Internal - @Team, in general these tables are getting very dense and tough to read. I’d suggest we cull down the list of stratfying variables we have. That said, it seems here that the older cohort (19-29) want to see vaccine requirements stay in place, and would not want them to be lifted.
