In addition, the codebook is now available as a PDF file only, and the variable and value labels have been expanded. The User Guide was scanned and is now available as a PDF file. The data file comprising the former Part 1, which was a concatenation of Parts 2, 3, and 4, has been removed and the parts have been renumbered.

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:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Standardized missing values.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
