Released/updated on: 2025-12-09

Geographic coverage: United States, Marshall Islands, Guam, Virgin Islands of the United States, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia (Federated States)

Time period: 2020-03-13--2022-03-01

Researchers employed longitudinal policy surveillance to comprehensively describe state responses to the eviction crisis resulting from the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing through the end of substantive state intervention. The study relied on an exhaustive collection of all emergency orders and legislation that controlled the eviction process, related to protections under federal moratoria, or provided support to tenants and that were issued by state governors, courts, and legislative bodies between March 13, 2020 and March 1, 2022. Researchers developed a dynamic, novel dataset consisting of over 50 indicators which captured the temporal and substantive features of these moratoria and renter-supportive measures. To confirm that the dataset was complete, researchers provided state governors and court officials with lists of collected orders from their states and incorporated any needed additions. From this validated dataset, researchers created a time series cross-sectional dataset that tracked changes in a state's overall eviction moratoria and supportive measures over time.

A systematic discourse analysis of how U.S. political leaders frame disability: Implications for students with disabilities (ICPSR 307656)

Released/updated on: 2026-07-06

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2025-01-01--2025-12-31

This study examined how U.S. political leaders publicly framed disability during calendar year 2025, using a systematic discourse analysis of public statements and federal legislation. It also examined how this discourse was reflected in federal education policy, including statements by the Secretary of Education and education-related bills.

The study analyzed 121 public statements about people with disabilities made by White House and Cabinet officials, and 32 federal bills introduced in 2025 that could affect the rights, services, or educational opportunities of individuals with disabilities. Statements were identified through a two-stage process that combined a custom Python-based web-scraping tool, which extracted verbatim, attributed quotations from news articles, press releases, interview transcripts, official speeches, and social media posts using the OpenAI GPT-4 API, with manual verification searches conducted in ChatGPT Plus and Perplexity AI Pro. Federal bills were identified through Congress.gov. All statements were reviewed by the authors to confirm accuracy, attribution, and date. Each statement and bill was independently scored by two human coders and by GPT-4 using an author-developed four-point rubric grounded in the social and human rights models of disability, ranging from 1 (dehumanizing) to 4 (affirming).

The data contain one record per statement, including the speaker's name and title, date, verbatim quotation, source, context, an analysis of the framing, a score from 1 (dehumanizing) to 4 (affirming), and the rationale for the score. The bills data are available on the project website and are not included in this deposit.

The study was approved by the university Institutional Review Board (March 2025) and was preregistered on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/hbfe5/).
