I'm not sure if this will help, but section 3.3 of the (syntax-based) SPSS
tutorials on my website is on multiple response. (See:
http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/33-multiple-response.html )
The intro 3.3.1 is well worth reading as background, and will possibly
address the questions you have been asked about rationale.
3.3.2 lists examples of MR questions used in the 1986 British Social
Attitudes survey and the different coding schemes used to create the raw
data file.
3.3.3 is a fully worked example, with full colour screenshots at each step,
using SPSS 15 to analyse MR questions from a small survey of 15-16 year-old
pupils in a secondary school. One example uses MR in dichotomous mode, to
summarise, in a single table, several items from a Likert-type scale of
attitudes to women.
The third slide show accompanying my 2006 presentation "Old Dog, Old Tricks"
to ASSESS (European SPSS users) contains a critique of SPSS usage in the
2002 European Social Survey with examples of MR for questions on personal
experience of discrimination.
I'm now using 18 so some of the examples may need updating. I'm currently
working on an exercise for the 1986 BSA survey and will then add some
homework on the same or similar questions in the 1989 survey. OK, so the
data are more than 20 years old, but the logic and analysis are what count.
I used the 1986 and 1989 surveys on the postgrad Survey Analysis Workshop I
designed and taught from 1976 until I (early) retired in 1992. I'm busy
converting and updating a colossal ampount of course materials from
WordStar4 to Word and from SPSS-X 4 on a Vax mainframe to SPSS for Windows
on a PC, but as soon as I've got most of this done, I want to start using
later waves of the BSA and also data from the European Social Survey and the
GSS.
All materials on the site are available for free download. I can't send
attachements via the list, so may send you (and anyone else) some of my
draft MR material separately.

Subject: multiple response analysis how to report %
I have a data set that contains a number of multiple response items, such
as:
Which of the following professionals are on staff in your agency?(Tick
all that apply.)
-addiction counsellor
-physician (non-psychiatrist)
-psychiatrist
-psychologist
-social worker
-other health care professional
-other professional.
I have been asked to provide a rationale for whether the % reported
for each option should be the % of responses or the % of respondents.
A review of my stats texts and a quick google search have not yielded
any information on the strengths and weaknesses of either approach.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me to a discussion on this.
Thanks.
Pat
