| | | | Summary: | The purpose of this data collection was to provide an
appropriate theoretical and empirical approach to concepts, measures,
and methods in the study of Black Americans. Developed with input from
social scientists, students, and a national advisory panel of Black
scholars, the survey investigates neighborhood-community integration,
services, crime and community contact, the role of religion and the
church, physical and mental health, self-esteem, life satisfaction,
employment, the effects of chronic unemployment, the effects of race
on the job, interaction with family and friends, racial attitudes,
race identity, group stereotypes, and race ideology. Demographic
variables include education, marital status, income, employment
status, occupation, and political behavior and affiliation. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | (1) Data for Wave 1 of this study supersede the data
released in NATIONAL SURVEY OF BLACK AMERICANS, 1979-1980 (ICPSR
8512). (2) Users should note that data for the "state and county"
codes (Variables 1405, 1407, and 1410) were entered in COUNTY/STATE
order and not STATE/COUNTY order, i.e., the first three digits are the
county code and the last two digits are the state code. This is the
reverse of how Note 3 of the codebook describes the interpretation of
these variables. (3) Variables for Wave 2 begin at V3001, Wave 3
begins at V4001, and Wave 4 begins at V5001. (4) The codebook and
questionnaires are provided as Portable Document Format (PDF)
files. The PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated
and can be accessed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Information on how
to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is provided through the ICPSR
Website on the Internet. |

| | | | Sample: | National multistage probability sample. The sample is
self-weighting. Every Black American household in the continental
United States had an equal probability of being selected. Wave 1 was
administered to 2,107 respondents, Wave 2 to 951 respondents
(including 935 from Wave 1), Wave 3 to 793 respondents (including 779
from Wave 2), and Wave 4 to 659 respondents (including 1 from Wave 1,
28 from Wave 2, and 623 from Wave 3). |
