Description
The SPSS and Stata are using the following weights:
rCSI=(rCSILessQlty * 1) + (rCSIBorrow* 2) + (rCSIMealNb * 1) + (rCSIMealSize * 3) + (rCSIMealAdult * 1) while the description in the SPSS refers as
(rCSILessQlty * 1) + (rCSIBorrow* 2) + (rCSIMealNb * 1) + (rCSIMealSize * 1) + (rCSIMealAdult * 3)
The following guidelines follow the instruction as in the SPSS description

The SPSS do file has twice the same label "rCSIMealNb"

Research direction
Start with Indicators/Reduced-coping-strategy-index/rCSI-indicator.sps and rCSI-indicator.do, then compare their rCSI weights with the linked guidelines. Confirm which meal variables should receive each weight, correct the inconsistent computation or description, and remove the duplicate rCSIMealNb label. Done means both files consistently reflect the supported formula and labels.
