Response-flow map of 4 survey items for 1,200 respondents.

How to read this map, step by step
  1. Start at the left. The first column is q1_consent. The column stacks all 1,200 respondents: each colored block is one answer, its label gives the share who gave it, and the top block here is Yes at 96.8%. Light grey blocks collect everyone with no answer recorded on that item.
  2. Follow a ribbon to the right. A ribbon connects an answer on one item to an answer on the next, and its thickness is the number of people who gave both. Hovering a ribbon shows the exact count. Where a block fans out into several ribbons, the sample is splitting; where ribbons converge on one block, paths are merging.
  3. Blocks labelled other answers pool everything past the 3 most common. Nothing is dropped: every respondent sits in exactly one block of every column, so each column adds back to 1,200.
  4. Each line of the table under the figure is one complete path from the first item to the last, with the number and share of respondents who took exactly that path. The ribbons above join two items at a time; the table lines run the whole way across.

Reading rule: counts are unweighted respondents in scope. A ribbon is the number of people who gave that pair of answers on two consecutive items; a table line is the number who took that complete path. no answer recorded includes people the routing never showed the item, which item data cannot separate from a decline. Drawn by surveymap from g_paths.tsv; the journal has a weighted count column when the scan was weighted.
