Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a new dummy variable named DIS2 which defines a participant as having 1 or more definitions of disability. In my data set there are 5 dummy variables for each definition of disability, namely:
hearing: equal to 1 if the participant has difficulty in hearing, other equal to 0.
visual: which is equal to 1 if the participant has difficulty seeing, the other is equal to 0.
speaking: equal to 1 if the participant has difficulty in speaking, others equal to 0.
physical: equal to 1 if the participant has physical limitations, others equal to 0.
mental: which is equal to 1 if the participant has mental limitations, others equal to 0.

For example, if a participant has difficulty in speaking and listening, then in DIS2 it will be equal to 1. On the other hand, it will be equal to 0 when the participant only has 1 type of disability.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
