calc_crime_safety: Calculate Crime Safety Score

Description

This function computes a crime safety score ranging from 1 to 4 based on survey responses. The score is the mean of two specific item scores, where higher scores indicate a greater sense of crime safety in the neighborhood.

Usage

calc_crime_safety(survey_df)

Value

A data frame with two columns: `person_id` and `crime_safety`, where `crime_safety` is the calculated crime safety score for each participant. Participants who did not answer both questions will have an NA score.

Arguments

survey_df

A data frame containing survey data with at least three columns: `person_id`, `question_concept_id`, and `answer_concept_id`.

Examples

# Create a sample survey data frame
survey_df <- data.frame(
  person_id = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4),
  question_concept_id = c(40192414, 40192492, 40192414, 40192492,
                          40192414, 40192492, 40192414, 40192492),
  answer_concept_id = c(40192514, 40192478, 40192527, 40192422,
                        40192514, 40192527, 40192422, 40192478)
)

# Compute crime safety scores
crime_safety_scores <- calc_crime_safety(survey_df)
