Educational Attainment
An educational attainment score (low, middle or high) of adult Lifelines participants was calculated based on their self-reported highest obtained degree in 1A Questionnaire 1 and 2A Questionnaire 1 (i.e. variables degree_highest_adu_q_1/_a or EDUCATION/EDUCOTHER), as follows:

| 8 = university education | 8 = wetenschappelijk onderwijs (universiteit) | high |
| 9 = other: | 9 = anders, nl. | see step 2 |
Step 2
Participants who chose answer 9 ('other', n = ~4,300) were scored according to the specifications they provided.
These specifications were manually checked for certain educational terms, which could fall into one of three groups:
- 1 educational terms with only one possible score (table 1)
- 2 educational terms with two possible scores (table 2)
- 3 educational terms with no (or too many) possible scores (table 3)
