The Respondent File (Part 1) contains one record for each woman in the survey, while the Interval File (Part 2) contains one record for each completed pregnancy experienced by a woman in the survey. An interval can be defined as one of the following: the time between a first intercourse at last contact (in 1988) and a pregnancy that ended after last contact, or the time between a pregnancy that ended before last contact and one that was in progress at the time of the interview. Part 1 offers data on respondents' marital histories, education, family background, sex education, births and pregnancies, first sexual intercourse, sterilizing operations, contraceptive histories, family planning services, infertility services, births -- intended and unexpected, adoption, sexually transmitted diseases/AIDS, religion, race/ethnicity, employment/occupation, income, and insurance. Part 2 supplies data on outcomes of pregnancies and other pregnancy-related information, use of birth control methods during intervals, and "wantedness" of pregnancies. 1988 1995 United States individual The civilian noninstitutionalized population of women 15-44 years of age in the United States, regardless of marital status. survey data A national probability sample of 14,000 women aged 15-44 was chosen from households that had participated in NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1993 (ICPSR 6534).

ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

Created variable labels and/or value labels.Standardized missing values.Created online analysis version with question text.Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes. Data for CYCLE I, 1973 (ICPSR 7898), CYCLE II, 1976 (ICPSR 7902, 8181), CYCLE III, 1982 (ICPSR 8328), CYCLE IV, 1988 (ICPSR 9473), and CYCLE IV, 1990 TELEPHONE REINTERVIEW (ICPSR 6643) are also available from ICPSR. Many date variables are given as century months. Please refer to the "Date Codes" section of the User Guide for a more detailed explanation regarding the calculation of century months. Due to certain limitations in Stata, value labels are not included for occupation variables. For more information on the value labels for these variables, please refer to "Appendix 3 -- Occupation and Industry Codes" in the User Guide.
