The Michigan Metro Area Communities Study (MIMACS) is a panel survey of select Michigan communities residents aged 18 and older. Flint is one of the communities included in MIMACS. The initial survey in Flint was conducted in 2022 and the sample was drawn from an address-based probability sample of all occupied Flint households. The 3rd survey wave, collected between January 15 - March 18, 2024, researchers invited 823 previously enrolled panelists and 1,554 invitations to a randomly selected address-based refreshment sample of Flint households to participate in a self-administered online or interviewer-administered telephone survey. Survey topics included: Household Composition, Residence and Housing Status; Health, Social Determinants of Health, Long COVID, Mental Health; Disability; Perceptions of Neighborhood; Transportation Mode; Financial Precarity; Perception of Control; Voting; Employment; Demographics.

This study is the largest survey of community college trustees to date. It was conducted jointly by the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) and the Center for the Study of Community Colleges (CSCC).

Fathers Empowered to Learn, Lead, and Achieve Success (FELLAS) is a Responsible Fatherhood program, funded by the Office of Family Assistance, and provided by the Partnership for Maternal and Child Health in Northern New Jersey. The program served community-based fathers aged 18 and older who reside in Essex County, New Jersey. To be eligible for the program, fathers must have had at least one child aged 24 or younger. Expectant fathers were eligible. The FELLAS program consisted of three key components:

• Responsible Parenting: Uses 24/7 Dad, an evidence-based, father-focused parenting curriculum designed to enhance parenting skills.
• Healthy Marriage/Relationship Skills: Incorporates Couple Communication I, an evidence-based curriculum that includes home visits to strengthen relationships and marriage dynamics.
• Economic Stability: Provides a comprehensive set of services, including employment assessments, basic technology training, and pre-employment soft skills development.

The core program consisted of 35 hours of intensive workshops, broken down as follows:

• 24 hours of 24/7 Dad group sessions
• 6 hours of economic stability group sessions
• 5 hours of Couple Communication I group sessions
• The program was taught over 15 weeks, two-three hours per week

For the five weeks prior to the start of each cohort, the Father Program Specialists (FPSs) recruited fathers by conducting street outreach throughout Essex County, outreach in-person at childcare centers and schools, outreach and marketing to local partners requesting referrals to the program. They also encouraged fathers who had previously completed the program to assist with word-of-mouth marketing. Recruitment was also facilitated, in part, by The Partnership's extensive experience in the community. Two cohorts were conducted each year. Each FPS facilitated the FELLAS programming for the fathers he recruited and also served as the case manager for these fathers.

The 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education (2019 NSECE) is a set of four nationally-representative integrated surveys conducted in 2019 of 1) households with children under age 13, 2) home-based early care and education (ECE) providers, 3) center-based ECE providers, and 4) the center-based ECE provider workforce. Together these four surveys characterize the supply of and demand for ECE in the United States and create a better understanding of how well families' needs and preferences coordinate with providers' offerings and constraints. The NSECE surveys make particular effort to measure the experiences of low-income families, as these families are the focus of a significant component of ECE and school-age public policy.

The NSECE was first conducted in 2012. Before that effort, there had been a 20-year long absence of nationally representative data on the use and availability of ECE in the United States. The NSECE was conducted again in 2019 to update the information from 2012 and shed light on how the ECE and school-age care landscape changed from 2012 to 2019. The 2019 NSECE followed a similar design as the 2012 survey, including surveying households with children under age 13, home-based providers, center-based providers, and staff working in center-based classrooms.

The 2019 NSECE was funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The project team was led by NORC at the University of Chicago, with partners Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and Child Trends, as well as other collaborating individuals and organizations.

The Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) is the Korean version of the General Social Survey (GSS), closely replicating the original GSS of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.

The KGSS comprises five parts:

• The first part includes core questions covering key aspects of Korean society.
• The second part is the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) module, a cross-national survey conducted in 45 countries.
• The third part is the East Asian Social Survey (EASS) module, a joint GSS-type survey of Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan.
• The fourth part is the European Social Survey (ESS) module, a cross-national survey conducted across Europe.
• The last part contains modules proposed by researchers.

This data collection is the cumulative version of the previous 22 years of survey data from 2003 to 2025. The survey was conducted annually from 2003 to 2014 and biennially from 2016 onward (excluding 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2022). Due to COVID-19, the 2020 survey was skipped and conducted in 2021 instead.

Respondents were asked for their opinions about Korean society, economic conditions, government performance, politics and political conditions. Additional questions include the healthcare system, health behaviors, human rights, attitudes toward aging and the elderly, household composition, income, education, occupation, environmental issues, international migration and so on. Demographic data collected includes age, sex, education level, household income, employment status, religious preference, political party affiliation, and political philosophy.

Obtaining a better understanding of the organizational and operational attributes of public health delivery systems is a critical step in elucidating pathways for improving public health services. This survey of local governmental public health agencies was conducted to that end, as part of a larger study designed to classify the structural characteristics of local public health delivery systems and to examine variation and change in these characteristics over time. In 1998 and again in 2006, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2023 local governmental public health agencies serving populations of 100,000 residents or more were surveyed about 20 core public health activities devoted to public health assessment, policy development, and assurance.

For each activity, the survey instrument asked agency directors to report whether the activity was performed at all in the agency's jurisdiction and if so, which types of organizations were involved in performing the activity. Response options for the second item consisted of a pre-defined list of organization types, including hospitals, physician practices, health insurers, community health centers, educational institutions, community-based and faith-based organizations, state and local government agencies, and private businesses/employers. The instrument also asked what proportion of the total community effort for each activity was contributed by the local public health agency and asked how effectively the activity was performed.

AP VoteCast is a survey of the American electorate conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for Fox News and The Associated Press. The survey is funded by AP. AP VoteCast was conducted in Georgia for their two 2021 Senate runoff elections. The survey of 4,565 registered voters was conducted December 28, 2020, to January 5, 2021, concluding as polls closed on Election Day. Interviews were conducted via phone and web, with 186 completing by phone and 4,379 completing by web.

AP VoteCast combines interviews with a random sample of registered voters drawn from state voter files with self-identified registered voters selected from nonprobability online panels. Interviews were conducted in English. Respondents may have received a small monetary incentive for completing the survey. Participants selected from state voter files were contacted by phone and mail, and had the opportunity to take the survey by phone or online.

In Georgia, VoteCast is based on 1,173 probability-based interviews conducted online and via phone, and 3,392 nonprobability interviews conducted online. The margin of sampling error is estimated to be plus or minus 2.1 percentage points for voters (n=3,792) and 4.5 percentage points for nonvoters (n=773). The unweighted response rate for the probability sample drawn from the Georgia state voter file was 1.9%.

Since 2007, the American Psychological Association (APA) has commissioned an annual nationwide survey as part of its Mind/Body Health campaign to examine the state of stress across the country and understand its impact. The Stress in America survey measures attitudes and perceptions of stress among the general public and identifies leading sources of stress, common behaviors used to manage stress and the impact of stress on our lives. The results of the survey draw attention to the serious physical and emotional implications of stress and the inextricable link between the mind and body.

From 2007 to 2024, the research has documented this connection among the general public as well as various sub-segments of the public. Each year, the Stress in America surveys aims to uncover different aspects of the stress/health connection via focusing on a particular topic and/or subgroup of the population. Below is a list of the focus of each of the Stress in America surveys.

The 2024 National Survey of Early Care and Education (2024 NSECE) is a set of four integrated surveys which include 1) households with children under age 13, 2) home-based early care and education (ECE) providers serving children under age 13, 3) center-based ECE providers serving children age 5 years and under (not yet in kindergarten), and 4) the center-based ECE workforce. Together, these surveys characterize the supply of and demand for ECE in the United States and permit a clearer understanding of how well families' needs and preferences coordinate with providers' offerings and constraints and the local ECE workforce. The NSECE surveys make particular effort to measure the experiences of low-income families, as these families are the focus of a significant component of ECE and school-age public policy.

The NSECE was first conducted in 2012. Before that effort, there had been a 20-year long absence of nationally representative data on the use and availability of ECE in the United States. The NSECE was conducted again in 2019 to update the information from 2012 and shed light on how the ECE and school-age care landscape changed from 2012 to 2019. To facilitate over-time comparisons, the 2024 NSECE largely replicates the design of the 2019 and 2012 NSECE, although all are cross-sectional surveys with no intentional overlap in sampled households, providers, or workers.

The 2024 NSECE was funded by the the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The project team was led by NORC at the University of Chicago, with partners including Child Trends and a Content Advisory Team of collaborating experts. Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago worked closely with NORC on the building of the provider sampling frame in 2023.

Level 2 restricted-use files are available via NORC. For more information, please see the instructions for NSECE Levels 2 Restricted-Use Data.

This study provides data about the experiences of students at community colleges that participated in the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey between 1995 and 2007. Since 1966, the CIRP Freshman Survey has provided data on incoming college students' background characteristics, high school experiences, attitudes, behaviors, and expectations for college. The survey resides at the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at the University of California-Los Angeles. Information about the history and administration of the Freshman Survey can be found on the HERI website.

Community colleges in this study were identified using Carnegie Classifications. The data include responses from 95,646 students at 106 institutions. Additional Freshman Survey data are available as studies in the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Series.

The Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) 2024 Supplement is part of the Current Population Survey (CPS) Series. The CPS is a source of official Government statistics on employment and unemployment. The Census Bureau conducts the ASEC (known as the Annual Demographic File prior to 2003) over a three-month period, in February, March, and April, with most of the data collected in the month of March. The ASEC uses two sets of survey questions, the basic CPS and a set of supplemental questions.

The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage, and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment.

In addition to the basic CPS questions, respondents were asked questions from the ASEC, which provides supplemental data on poverty, geographic mobility/migration, and work experience. Comprehensive work experience information was given on the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons aged 15 and over. Additional data for persons aged 15 and older were available concerning weeks worked and hours per week worked, reason not working full-time, total income and supplemental income components. Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income. Data on employment and income refer to the previous calendar year, although demographic data refer to the time of the survey.

The occupation and industry information variables in this data collection can help the data users identify individuals who worked in arts and culture related fields. The occupations are listed in a category entitled "Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media Occupations," which includes professions such as artists, designers, actors, musicians, and writers (see Appendix B of the User's Guide for further category details). Industries related to the arts and culture are in the "Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation" category (see Appendix A of the User's Guide for further category details). For example, using the occupation and industry information variables from the ASEC help data users to obtain statistics about people in artists' occupations that receive supplemental income, live public housing, or are full-time students.

The ASEC data provided by the Census Bureau are distributed in a hierarchical file structure, with three record types present: Household, Family, and Person. The ASEC is designed to be a multistage stratified sample of housing units, where the hierarchical file structure can be thought of as a person within a family within a household unit. Here the main unit of analysis is the household unit.

The National Association of County and City Health Officials' (NACCHO's) Forces of Change Survey was developed as an evolution to NACCHO's Job Losses and Program Cuts surveys, which measured the impact of the economic recession on local health departments' (LHDs) budgets, staff, and programs.

Beginning in 2014, NACCHO began conducting the Forces of Change survey yearly in years that the National Profile Study of Local Health Departments (Profile) was not fielded. The Forces of Change Survey continues to measure changes in LHD budgets, staff, programs, and assess more broadly the impact of forces affecting change in LHDs.

More specifically, the survey collected information about staffing and budget changes, agency governance, engagement with fellowship/training programs, public health nursing activities, evaluation capacity, and services to address the infectious disease consequences of the opioid crisis.

The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families (Center) is proposing to offer an enhancement to its current primary workshop offerings to improve a participant's housing status. Few of the Center's participants are homeowners and many lack stable housing. The Center is defining housing stability on the following spectrum: (1) literally homeless - emergency shelter, community based transitional housing, streets; (2) transitional housing - staying or living doubled up with a family member or friend (with or without paying rent); (3) stable housing - own rental unit with participant's name as leaseholder; and (4) permanent housing - home ownership with or without mortgage in the participant's name. The aim of Housing Stability to Home Ownership (H2O) is to move participants up the previously defined housing spectrum and stabilize the father and his family.

The H2O Program includes:

1. Completing the H2O Enhancement Courses (9 hours of instruction)
2. Assessing current and indicating desired position on the Housing Stability Spectrum
3. Plan focused on making progress to achieve desired level on the Housing Stability Spectrum
4. Follow-up case management/housing search assistance
5. Formal case closure at 18 months

The Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior series (also known as the Surveys of Consumers) was undertaken to measure changes in consumer attitudes and expectations, to understand why such changes occur, and to evaluate how they relate to consumer decisions to save, borrow, or make discretionary purchases. The data regularly include the Index of Consumer Sentiment, the Index of Current Economic Conditions, and the Index of Consumer Expectations. Since the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter.

The surveys conducted in 2005 focused on topics such as evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Opinions were collected regarding respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, computers, and other durables. Also explored in this survey, were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, and retirement planning. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.

The Forces of Change Survey continues to measure changes in LHD budgets, staff, and programs and assess more broadly the impact of forces affecting change in LHDs. For the 2020 Forces of Change survey, the core set of questions were distributed to a total of 2392 LHDs in the United States, with a stratified random sample of 905 LHDs receiving the module questionnaire.

More specifically, the survey collected information about LHD staffing levels, workforce reductions, and changes in budget sizes; provided services or functions; changes in the level of service delivery; billing for clinical services; efforts to help people enroll in health insurance from exchanges under the Affordable Care Act; awareness of and involvement in the State Innovation Models Initiative; participation in the Public Health Accreditation Board's national accreditation program for LHDs; and whether LHDs are part of a combined health and human services agency.

This longitudinal data collection supplies information on the educational, vocational, and personal development of young people who were high school seniors in 1972 and examines the kinds of factors -- personal, familial, social, institutional, and cultural -- that may affect that development. The collection provides a broad spectrum of information on each student and covers areas such as ability, socioeconomic status, home background, community environment, ethnicity, significant others, current activity at time of survey, educational attainment, school experiences, school performance, work status, work performance and satisfaction, goal orientations, marriage and the family, and military experience.

Data collected in the base-year (1972) focus on factors relating to the student's personal/family background, education and work experiences, plans, aspirations, attitudes, and opinions. The first follow-up, which was conducted in 1973, offers information on the respondent's activity state (education, work, etc.), socioeconomic status, work and educational experience since leaving high school, future plans, and expectations. The second follow-up (1974) probes respondents on similar measures but is augmented by additional variables pertaining to work and education. The third follow-up (1976) contains additional items on graduate school application and entry, job supervision, sex roles, sex and race biases, and a subjective rating of high school experiences. The fourth follow-up (1979) offers data similar to the other follow-ups but includes some variables that were modified to elicit unique information. For the fifth follow-up, the sample members averaged 32 years of age and had been out of high school for 14 years. In addition to covering the same subject areas as the previous surveys, this follow-up includes additional questions on marital history, divorce, child support, and economic relationships in modern families.

Part 1 of this collection contains base-year data as well as data collected during four subsequent follow-ups undertaken in 1973, 1974, 1976, and 1979, while Part 11 contains fifth follow-up data for 1986. Part 2, the School File, contains information obtained from the respondent's high school and also from high school counselors. Data are available on school organization and enrollment, course offerings, special services and programs, library and other resources, time scheduling, and grading systems. Counselor information is supplied on work loads, counseling practices and facilities, experience with student financial aid programs, age, ethnicity, training, and experience. A supplementary School District Census File, Part 3, contains 1970 Census data tabulated by school district boundaries. In addition, the collection includes a FICE Code File and a CEEB Institutional Data Base File that can be used in conjunction with the student file to supply contextual information about respondents' colleges. The Institutional Data Base File offers data for colleges and universities on items such as enrollment, income and revenues, expenses, tuition and fees, and median student scores on standardized tests. Parts 7, 8, 9 and 10 contain transcript data from each postsecondary institution reported by sample members in the first through fourth follow-up surveys. Data are available for several types of postsecondary institutions, ranging from short-term vocational or occupational programs through major universities with graduate programs and professional schools. Data in these four rectangular files -- Student, Transcript, Term, and Course Files -- are organized to be used in combination hierarchically. Information is available on terms of attendance, fields of study, specific courses taken, and grades and credits earned. The Fifth Follow-Up Teaching Supplement (Parts 12) surveyed those members of the original 1972 sample who had obtained teaching certificates and/or who had teaching experience. Respondents were asked questions about their qualifications, experience, and attitudes toward teaching.

These are the third and fourth waves of the PREHCO project (Puerto Rican Elder Health Conditions study) and have been developed between 2021 and 2024 as a collaboration between the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Puerto Rico. The project began as a cross-sectional study of the non-institutionalized population aged 60 years or older in Puerto Rico. These waves followed the survivors of the original participants at the beginning of the fieldwork and aimed to examine the predictors of cognitive decline, disability, and mortality. The fourth wave of this study extends the follow-up of PREHCO to between 21 and 22 years after the initial data collection and aims to examine the predictors of cognitive decline, disability, and mortality.

PREHCO was designed as a study comparable to the Multicenter Project on Health and Well-being of Older Adults in Latin America and the Caribbean (SABE) developed by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in several cities in Latin America, and with some studies carried out in the United States, mainly the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).

For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed that included sections on health conditions, physical and mental disability, functionality, use of medicines, health needs and social services, access to and use of health services, abuse, migration, housing conditions, patterns of help from family, community and public and government agencies, and others.

Since its inception, PREHCO has been funded with federal funds from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Initially it was a project between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Puerto Rico from 2000-2009.

The New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS) is a citywide survey designed to be representative of the NYC housing stock and community-dwelling population that is conducted about every three years by the City of New York. The NYCHVS has been conducted since 1965 and is the longest running housing survey in the country. The survey is mandated by New York State and New York City laws to measure the net rental vacancy rate and describe the supply, condition, and continued need for rent control and rent stabilization which covers half of the city's rental housing, or about 1 million apartments and 2.5 million tenants.

Detailed data from the survey cover many characteristics of the New York City housing market, including characteristics of the City's population, household, housing stock, and neighborhoods. Other data include, but is not limited to, rent regulatory and home ownership status; structural conditions; unit maintenance and neighborhood conditions; crowding, rents, utility costs, type of heating fuel, rent/income ratios; owner purchase price and estimated value, mortgage status and interest rate; number of stories and units in building, cooperative/condominium status, and wheelchair accessibility.

The data in this collection are organized by occupied units, vacant units, non-interviews, and individual person records. The 1999 NYCHVS is the 11th survey cycle. Data enable users to estimate various characteristics of housing and the community-dwelling population in New York City.

Downloads of Add Health require submission of the following information, which is shared with the original producer of Add Health: supervisor name, supervisor email, and reason for download. A Data Guide for this study is available as a web page and for download.

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), 1994-2018 [Public Use] is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents in grades 7 through 12 during the 1994-1995 school year. The Add Health cohort was followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent conducted in 2008 when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents' social, economic, psychological, and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships.

Add Health Wave I data collection took place between September 1994 and December 1995, and included both an in-school questionnaire and in-home interview. The in-school questionnaire was administered to more than 90,000 students in grades 7 through 12, and gathered information on social and demographic characteristics of adolescent respondents, education and occupation of parents, household structure, expectations for the future, self-esteem, health status, risk behaviors, friendships, and school-year extracurricular activities. All students listed on a sample school's roster were eligible for selection into the core in-home interview sample. In-home interviews included topics such as health status, health-facility utilization, nutrition, peer networks, decision-making processes, family composition and dynamics, educational aspirations and expectations, employment experience, romantic and sexual partnerships, substance use, and criminal activities. A parent, preferably the resident mother, of each adolescent respondent interviewed in Wave I was also asked to complete an interviewer-assisted questionnaire covering topics such as inheritable health conditions, marriages and marriage-like relationships, neighborhood characteristics, involvement in volunteer, civic, and school activities, health-affecting behaviors, education and employment, household income and economic assistance, parent-adolescent communication and interaction, parent's familiarity with the adolescent's friends and friends' parents.

Add Health data collection recommenced for Wave II from April to August 1996, and included almost 15,000 follow-up in-home interviews with adolescents from Wave I. Interview questions were generally similar to Wave I, but also included questions about sun exposure and more detailed nutrition questions. Respondents were asked to report their height and weight during the course of the interview, and were also weighed and measured by the interviewer.

From August 2001 to April 2002, Wave III data were collected through in-home interviews with 15,170 Wave I respondents (now 18 to 26 years old), as well as interviews with their partners. Respondents were administered survey questions designed to obtain information about family, relationships, sexual experiences, childbearing, and educational histories, labor force involvement, civic participation, religion and spirituality, mental health, health insurance, illness, delinquency and violence, gambling, substance abuse, and involvement with the criminal justice system. High School Transcript Release Forms were also collected at Wave III, and these data comprise the Education Data component of the Add Health study.

Wave IV in-home interviews were conducted in 2008 and 2009 when the original Wave I respondents were 24 to 32 years old. Longitudinal survey data were collected on the social, economic, psychological, and health circumstances of respondents, as well as longitudinal geographic data. Survey questions were expanded on educational transitions, economic status and financial resources and strains, sleep patterns and sleep quality, eating habits and nutrition, illnesses and medications, physical activities, emotional content and quality of current or most recent romantic/cohabiting/marriage relationships, and maltreatment during childhood by caregivers. Dates and circumstances of key life events occurring in young adulthood were also recorded, including a complete marriage and cohabitation history, full pregnancy and fertility histories from both men and women, an educational history of dates of degrees and school attendance, contact with the criminal justice system, military service, and various employment events, including the date of first and current jobs, with respective information on occupation, industry, wages, hours, and benefits. Finally, physical measurements and biospecimens were also collected at Wave IV, and included anthropometric measures of weight, height and waist circumference, cardiovascular measures such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse, metabolic measures from dried blood spots assayed for lipids, glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), measures of inflammation and immune function, including High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Wave V data collection took place from 2016 to 2018, when the original Wave I respondents were 33 to 43 years old. For the first time, a mixed mode survey design was used. In addition, several experiments were embedded in early phases of the data collection to test response to various treatments. A similar range of data was collected on social, environmental, economic, behavioral, and health circumstances of respondents, with the addition of retrospective child health and socio-economic status questions. Physical measurements and biospecimens were again collected at Wave V, and included most of the same measures as at Wave IV.

The overall goal of Wave VI was to better understand life course trajectories, determinants, and consequences of critical dimensions of aging, health, and health disparities among U.S. early midlife adults. Data collection took place from 2022 to 2025, with participants between the ages of 39 and 51, with an average age of 44. Beyond longitudinal survey measures, newly added questions included those on cumulative stress, discrimination, despair, work-life balance, memory, physical limitations, and caregiving. Continuing from previous waves, home exams collected physical measurements and biospecimens with most of the same measures as Wave V.

The New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS) is a citywide survey designed to be representative of the NYC housing stock and community-dwelling population that is conducted about every three years by the City of New York. The NYCHVS has been conducted since 1965 and is the longest running housing survey in the country. The survey is mandated by New York State and New York City laws to measure the net rental vacancy rate and describe the supply, condition, and continued need for rent control and rent stabilization which covers half of the city's rental housing, or about 1 million apartments and 2.5 million tenants.

Detailed data from the survey cover many characteristics of the New York City housing market, including characteristics of the City's population, household, housing stock, and neighborhoods. Other data include, but is not limited to, rent regulatory and home ownership status; structural conditions; unit maintenance and neighborhood conditions; crowding, rents, utility costs, type of heating fuel, rent/income ratios; owner purchase price and estimated value, mortgage status and interest rate; number of stories and units in building, cooperative/condominium status, and wheelchair accessibility.

The data in this collection are organized by occupied units, vacant units, non-interviews, and individual person records. The 1996 NYCHVS is the 10th survey cycle. Data enable users to estimate various characteristics of housing and the community-dwelling population in New York City.

The objectives of this study were to ascertain the knowledge and attitudes of university faculty in the United States concerning journal publication, and specifically, the phenomenon known as "predatory publishing." The research questions that guided the development of the survey were:

1. How do university faculty determine where to submit journal article manuscripts for publication?
2. Are university faculty aware of the terminology, tools, and strategies related to predatory publishing and assessing the quality of journals?
3. How is a faculty member's awareness or attitudes related to their prior experience in academia?
4. Does a faculty member's knowledge of predatory journals affect which publishers they publish with and how they view the work of other scholars?

This study was exploratory in nature, and the survey instrument developed for this purpose was not formally validated. The investigators designed the survey through a pilot study and consequently refined and expanded it to investigate a broader population. The resulting survey consists of 47 closed- and open-ended items with 136 total variables. The questions are organized into five sections: demographics, environment/department culture, history/experience, journal criteria, and predatory publishing.

The dataset resulting from this study consists of 1167 cases and 152 variables. The target population was faculty of any discipline who worked at a university in the United States and who were required to conduct and publish research as part of their position. The survey was sent to approximately 19,400 faculty at 17 doctoral-granting universities between September 2021 and May 2022.

The Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) 2022 collection is comprised of responses from two sets of surveys, the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the SPPA supplement to the CPS administered in July 2022. This supplement asked questions about public participation in the arts within the United States, and was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.

The CPS, administered monthly by the U.S. Census Bureau, collects labor force data about the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 15 years or older living in the United States. The CPS provides current estimates of the economic status and activities of this population which includes estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. The basic CPS items in this data provide labor force activity for the week prior to the survey. In addition, the CPS provides respondents' demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, educational attainment, family relationships, occupation, and industry.

In addition to the basic CPS questions, interviewers asked supplementary questions on public participation in the arts of two randomly selected household members aged 18 or older from about one-half of the sampled CPS households. The supplement contained questions about the respondent's participation in various artistic activities over the last year. If the selected respondent had a spouse or partner, then the respondent answered questions on behalf of their spouse/partner and the spouse/partner responses are proxies.

The 2022 SPPA included two core components: Core 1 (C1Q1A-C1Q17A) and Core 2 (C2Q1A-C2Q1R) asked respondents if they attended any artistic events or live performances, and if so, how often and where. Questions were also asked about any books the respondent may have read.

In addition, the SPPA supplement included four modules designed to capture other types of arts participation. The four modules were separated by topic:

• Module A (MAQ1A-MAQ5D) asked respondents if they used electronic devices or electronic media to watch or listen to artistic performances and if so, how often. Questions were also asked about sharing information related to artistic performances.
• Module B (MBQ1A-MBQ4A) and Module C (MCQ1A-MCQ7) asked if the respondent performed any artistic activities (e.g., singing, dancing, playing instrument, painting, photography, etc), and if so, how often and where. Questions were also asked about participation in certain hobbies such as exercising, sports activities, hunting, gardening, etc., and if so, how often.
• Module D (MDQ1A-MDQ4H) asked if you've ever taken lessons in music, photography, filmmaking, visual arts, acting, theater, dance, creative writing, art history, art or music appreciation, creative coding, computer animation, or digital art. A follow-up question (MDQ2) is asked about if the classes were taken in school. Another follow-up question (MDQ3) is then 3-2 asked if they have done that activity within the last 12 months. A final follow-up question (MDQ4) is then asked if they learned that activity through other means not involving lessons or classes.

The data in this collection are organized by occupied units, vacant units, non-interviews, and individual person records. The 1993 NYCHVS is the 9th survey cycle. Data enable users to estimate various characteristics of housing and the community-dwelling population in New York City.

The Enhance Diversity Study (EDS) was part of the longitudinal evaluation of the training and mentoring interventions implemented by institutions receiving grants through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative, BUilding Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD). Interventions, launched in 2015, were designed to understand effective approaches to mentoring, faculty development, student engagement, research capacity building, and infrastructure development at undergraduate institutions.

Study participants were faculty at one of the institutions with a BUILD program, with focus on those in departments broadly related to biomedical research. The cohort was initially created from those who completed the survey in academic year 2016-2017. As faculty participated in BUILD programs, they were added to the study if they had not been in the initial cohort. The sample was refreshed in 2020-2021 to include recently hired faculty. Once participants were enrolled in the study, they were surveyed annually each Spring through 2022.

Surveys focused on elements of academic career trajectories that are relevant to the BUILD interventions. Related to Hallmarks of Success, these reflected psychosocial predictors such as mentor competency and science identity; short and medium-term outcomes included mentoring, research engagement, publications, and pedagogy presentations; and longer-term outcomes such as participation in professional organizations and grant submissions/awards. In 2017 and 2020, EDS used the Faculty Survey administered by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). For other time points, surveys were developed specifically for the study to include measures important for the evaluation.

In addition to surveys, the data available in this study include information about BUILD program participation by academic term. The BUILD programs were wide-reaching, including professional skill development (mentoring, pedagogy, and research), mentoring opportunities, and pilot and lab grant funding. These data can be used to determine whether survey respondents participated in any BUILD programs and the type and date of such participation.

Finally, summary demographics are provided. Using demographic information across surveys and from institution records, researchers created standardized indicators based on NIH classification of under-represented groups for faculty racial and ethnic, gender, and sexual minority identities.

The 2020 Child Care Licensing Study provides information collected about child care licensing programs and policies and the facility requirements for child care centers, family child care homes, and group child care homes for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The data about licensing requirements for child care centers, family child care homes, and group child care homes were collected by the National Center on Early Childhood Quality Assurance from the regulations posted on the National Database of Child Care Licensing Regulations that were in effect as of December 31, 2020. The licensing regulations data cover the following areas:

• Licensing regulations
• Additional staff training requirements
• Definition of licensed child care centers
• Child-staff ratios and group size
• Staff roles and age requirements
• Supervision of children
• Staff qualifications and ongoing training requirements
• Care of children
• Facility requirements
• Staff hiring requirements

The same web site was used to collect licensing regulations covering the above listed topics for small family child care homes and large/group family child care homes.

A crucial segment of the U.S. artist population is largely uncounted in federal population and labor surveys because they do not structure their artmaking in a way that those surveys typically define and measure "work" and "labor." Thus, there is insufficient data on the number of working artists nationwide and how their lives and livelihoods are structured. This limits the ability of funders and policymakers to make crucial decisions about how best to support them.

With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) engaged artists, sector experts, and researchers to inform a new survey reaching an expansive, nationally representative sample of artists. This sample includes the previously "invisible" population of artists who were recruited from NORC's AmeriSpeak panel and multiple nonprobability panels.

Their survey explores the following questions:

• How many artists live and work in the United States today?
• Who are these artists?
• How do they describe their creative practice(s)?
• How are their work arrangements structured?
• How do they support themselves financially?
• What can be learned about their physical and mental health and wellbeing?

The Cuban slave database consists of detailed demographic and economic data on 33,919 Cuban slaves between 1769 and 1886. These data were collected from the Notarial Protocols from Havana, Cienfuegos, and Santiago housed in the Archivo Nacional de Cuba in 1988.

The Brazilian slave database consists of detailed demographic and economic data on 119,963 Brazilian slaves from different locations in the province (now state) of Minas Gerais: Diamantina, Ouro Preto, Mariana, São João del Rei, and São José del Rei. The sources were the post-mortem inventories housed in the local archives in each of these cities.

Note that the data were hand transcribed from the archives mentioned above.

This survey of 12th-grade students is part of a series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. Students are randomly assigned to complete one of six questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions, but all containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and substance use. There are about 1,400 variables across the six questionnaires. Substance use covered by these surveys includes tobacco, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, marijuana/cannabis, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, inhalants, steroids, LSD and other hallucinogens, amphetamines (stimulants), sedatives/barbiturates, tranquilizers, cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, heroin, narcotics other than heroin, and vaping of nicotine, marijuana/cannabis, and flavors. Other topics include attitudes toward religion, changing roles for women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug education, and violence and crime (both in and out of school).

Highlights for 2024:

• The MTF sampling procedure was updated in 2024. Please see the 2024 MTF annual report for details. Variable-specific details are found in the user's guide that accompanies this study.
• Continuation of randomized blocks of questions presented to students. Please see Appendix D of the user's guide.
• In 2023, the question about use of Delta-8 THC was included only on forms 3 and 6. In 2024, this question is now included on all survey forms. With the inclusion on all forms, please note these variable name changes:
  • CORE: V2934 was changed to V7976
  • Form 3: V3660 was changed to V7976
  • Form 6: V6676 was changed to V7976
• Changes were made to the question stems for many of the substance use "triplets", i.e. lifetime, 12 month, and 30 day timeframes, including: marijuana/cannabis, hallucinogens other than LSD, amphetamines (stimulants), sedatives/barbiturates, tranquilizers, and narcotics other than heroin.
• Additional information about question text and response option changes, along with details about added and dropped questions, are documented in the MTFQchanges2024byForm.pdf and MTFQchanges2024byType.pdf files available for download.
• MTF is no longer providing dichotomized substance use variables on the DS1 datasets. As each researcher has their own method of working with data, it is up to the researcher to create these variables for their specific needs.

The Women's Employment Study, or "WES" combined the insights of poverty researchers, epidemiologists, and social workers by analyzing the ways in which a broad range of labor market, mental health, physical health, and family problems affect a welfare recipient's ability to obtain and retain employment over time.

WES initially began in the Fall of 1997, and five waves of the survey were completed by early 2004, with a high proportion of the original panel sample retained throughout the study.

The unique aspects of WES rest largely with the broad range of barriers it measures, and the longitudinal nature of the study that allows researchers to look at employment and welfare experiences over time.

This data collection contains the results of a follow-up cross-sectional study to the 2016 assessment of the current campus climate with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The sample survey of the University of Michigan (U-M), Ann Arbor, faculty, staff, and students was meant to represent the full diversity of the community and to capture information and perceptions on demographics, climate, institutional commitment and inclusive and equitable treatment, departmental norms, intergroup interactions, and discrimination. With input from committees of students, faculty, and staff, the survey instrument was developed collaboratively by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M's Survey Research Center, and administered by SoundRocket, an external social science survey research company. The instrument was delivered as a web survey, and several notifications and reminders were used to encourage completion, as well as an incentive. These notifications and reminders were delivered in phases.

Variables in the collection describe age, gender and gender identity, race/ethnicity, school/department/unit, religious affiliation, disability status, campus safety, rating of campus climate, intergroup interaction, discriminatory events, composite rating scores, and more.
