Add Healthcare Needed Category to Individual Data — add_loop_healthcare_needed

This function adds healthcare need categories to individual-level data, including disability information if provided. It creates dummy variables for different healthcare need scenarios and optionally includes disability-specific indicators.

Prerequisite function:

add_loop_wgq_ss.R - if WG-SS data collected

This function aggregates individual-level healthcare need data to the household level, including disability-specific information if provided.

ind_healthcare_needed_yes: Level for "yes" in ind_healthcare_needed.
ind_healthcare_needed_dnk: Level for "don't know" in ind_healthcare_needed.
ind_healthcare_needed_pnta: Level for "prefer not to answer" in ind_healthcare_needed.
ind_healthcare_received: The name of the variable that indicates if healthcare is received.
ind_healthcare_received_no: Level for "no" in ind_healthcare_received.
ind_healthcare_received_yes: Level for "yes" in ind_healthcare_received.
ind_healthcare_received_dnk: Level for "don't know" in ind_healthcare_received.
ind_healthcare_received_pnta: Level for "prefer not to answer" in ind_healthcare_received.
wgq_dis: The name of the variable that indicates if the individual has a disability (usual cut-offs are 3).
ind_age: The name of the variable that indicates the age of the individual.
main: A data frame of household-level data.
ind_healthcare_needed_yes_unmet: The binary variable that indicates if healthcare is needed but unmet.
ind_healthcare_needed_yes_met: The binary variable that indicates if healthcare is needed and met.
ind_healthcare_needed_no_wgq_dis: The binary variable that indicates if healthcare is not needed and the individual has a disability.
ind_healthcare_needed_yes_unmet_wgq_dis: The binary variable that indicates if healthcare is needed but unmet and the individual has a disability.
ind_healthcare_needed_yes_met_wgq_dis: The binary variable that indicates if healthcare is needed and met and the individual has a disability.
id_col_main: The column name for the unique identifier in the main data frame.
id_col_loop: The column name for the unique identifier in the loop data frame.

Value

A data frame with additional columns:

health_ind_healthcare_needed_d: Dummy variable for healthcare needed.
health_ind_healthcare_received_d: Dummy variable for healthcare received.
health_ind_healthcare_needed_cat: Categorized healthcare need: "no_need", "yes_unmet_need", or "yes_met_need".
health_ind_healthcare_needed_no: Dummy variable for no healthcare need.
health_ind_healthcare_needed_yes_unmet: Dummy variable for unmet healthcare need.
health_ind_healthcare_needed_yes_met: Dummy variable for met healthcare need.
health_ind_healthcare_needed_no_wgq_dis: Dummy variable for no healthcare need with disability (if wgq_dis provided).
health_ind_healthcare_needed_yes_unmet_wgq_dis: Dummy variable for unmet healthcare need with disability (if wgq_dis provided).
health_ind_healthcare_needed_yes_met_wgq_dis: Dummy variable for met healthcare need with disability (if wgq_dis provided).
