Key findings

1. Variable renamed: DEN_132 → DEN_035 starting in 2015-2016 (confirmed in PUMF DDI)
2. Additional cycles available: 2007-2008, 2015-2016, 2017-2018 exist in PUMF
3. Optional Content: Dental module was Optional Content in some cycles, so provincial response rates vary

Current PR scope

The cycles in this PR (2001, 2003, 2005, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014) are confirmed. Source variable naming (DENA_132, DENC_132, DENE_132, DEN_132) is correct.

Questions

1. Should we expand to include 2007-2008, 2015-2016, and 2017-2018 in this PR or a follow-up?
2. If adding 2015-2018, need to verify DEN_035 category values match DEN_132
3. Should we add a note about Optional Content status to the variable description?
