Updates:

As part of an ongoing effort to provide data files in a variety of
formats, our downloadable data files for most studies now include SAS
transport (XPORT or CPORT), SPSS portable or system, and Stata system
files. This provides a full suite of statistical software options. A
small number of studies are still being retrofitted to create these
formats. The full suite of files is now available for the following: 

Gambling Impact and Behavior Study, Health Behavior in School-Aged
Children (1997-1998), and for all available years of Monitoring the
Future.
