Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1995-08-03--1995-09-10
A number of pilot studies have been conducted by the National Election Studies (NES) for the purpose of developing new instrumentation. The 1995 Pilot Study is part of this effort, which also includes studies conducted in 1979, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 1993. As in earlier pilot studies (except for 1979), the 1995 study respondents were a subset of the previous year's traditional time-series respondents. The study is a one-wave reinterview of a randomly selected subset of respondents with telephones from the fresh cross-section portion of the AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1994: POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ENHANCED WITH 1992 AND 1993 DATA] (ICPSR 6507). The 1995 Pilot Study was conducted between August 3 and September 10, 1995. The content of the study reflects the NES commitment to improve measures of candidate evaluation, the impact of the campaign, values and predispositions, the comparative study of elections, and other responses to a stimulus letter calling for ideas for content sent to the user community on November 4, 1994. Specific topic areas in the study include: (1) an experiment using different measures of affective reactions to political figures, (2) a module of items being concurrently tested in many other nations as part of a comparative study of politics, (3) a set of 12 items asking respondents to make tradeoffs among programs, taxes, and the budget deficit, (4) a set of items designed to measure attitudes toward the environment and environmental policy, (5) a new measure of "humanitarianism," and (6) an extensive set of items regarding attention to the media intended to capture exposure to the political campaigns. In order to include all of the content, and to test between competing instrumentation, there were two forms of the questionnaire. Rosters of items, such as the thermometer, were randomized in administration to minimize order effects.

This survey is part of a continuing series designed to monitor trends in a wide range of social attitudes in Great Britain. The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA) is similar in purpose to the General Social Survey carried out by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in the United States. The BSA questionnaire has two parts, one administered by an interviewer and the other completed by the respondent. As in the past, the 1994 interview questionnaire contained a number of "core" questions covering the major topic areas of defense, the economy, labor market participation, and the welfare state. The 1994 self-enumerated questionnaire was devoted to a series of questions on a range of social, economic, political, and moral issues. Topics covered (by sections) are: (1) Britain's relations with other countries, (2) the role of government and civil liberties, (3) charitable giving, (4) families and children, (5) efficiency of and trust in institutions, (6) the countryside, (7) crime, (8) divorce, (9) education, (10) the environment, (11) housing, (12) the child care system, (13) health care, (14) economic issues and policies, (15) government spending, (16) taxation, (17) racial discrimination, (18) sexual behavior, (19) the death penalty, and (20) newspaper readership. Beginning in 1985, an international initiative funded by the Nuffield Foundation, the International Social Survey Program (ISSP), also contributed a module to the BSA. The topic of the ISSP module in this collection was the family and changing gender roles. Additional demographic data gathered included age, gender, education, occupation, marital status, household income, social class, and religious and political affiliations.

British Social Attitudes Survey Panel Study, 1983-1986 (ICPSR 3090)
Released/updated on: 2008-01-07
Geographic coverage: Great Britain, Global
Time period: 1983-01-01--1986-01-01
This survey is part of a continuing series designed to monitor trends in a wide range of social attitudes in Great Britain. The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA) is similar to the General Social Survey carried out by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) in the United States. The BSA questionnaire has two parts, one administered by an interviewer and the other completed by the respondent. This panel study is very closely linked, both in terms of design and content, to the British Social Attitudes cross-sectional series. Given that a key aim of the series was to look at trends and changes in attitudes over time, there were strong arguments for using a longitudinal (rather than a repeated cross-sectional) design since this would allow analysis of change to be linked to individual characteristics. The panel study was a unique opportunity to explore the methodological and analytical considerations of a longitudinal approach. The panel study compromises four interviews with individual respondents carried out on an annual basis. The field work for the cross-sectional and panel surveys took place at approximately the same time each year during the years 1983-1986. The topics covered in the questionnaires (by section) were as follows: (1) politics/defense, (2) economic expectations, evaluations, labor market participation, (3) social expenditures, welfare state, housing, education, the National Health Service, (4) crime/police, social class, religion, divorce, racial prejudices, household division of labor, public and personal morality, sexual morals, and (6) change of attitude (perceived). Additional demographic data gathered included age, gender, education, occupation, household income, marital status, social class, and religious and political affiliations.

California Work Pays Demonstration Project: County Welfare Administrative Data, 1992-1998, Public Use Version 4.1 (ICPSR 4207)
Released/updated on: 2006-05-12
Geographic coverage: United States, California
Time period: 1987-01-01--1998-01-01
The California Work Pays Demonstration Project (CWPDP) was intended to assess the effects of recent changes in Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) provisions. The project documents the dynamics of family poverty and welfare use in California. Part 1, Overview Data: Cases contains one record for each CWPDP case sampled between October 1992 and March 1997. For each case, seven data presence indicator variables identify the presence of data in each of the data file types. Four observation variables identify the number of case-months records observed in the Four County Cases file, the number of person records observed in the Four County Persons and Assistance History Persons files, and the first month during which AFDC participation is observed in the Assistance History Persons file. Fifteen survey detail variables identify survey participation, interview completion, respondent's person number and date of birth, and the survey record number. Parts 2-5, Four County Data: Cases, contain case-month records for all control and experimental cases selected to be a part of the study between October 1992 and March 1997 for any month (beginning with the month selected) during which an assistance unit received AFDC of food stamps. Each case-month record contains county administrative data for eligible family size and type, income, and cash and food stamp assistance amounts. These files are identical to the Four County Data: Cases files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 4. Parts 6-9, Four County Data: Persons, contain records for each person observed associated with any control or experimental case selected to be part of the study between October 1992 and March 1997. Records include nonconfidential demographic information and monthly values for aid type and eligibility. These files are identical to the Four County Data: Persons files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 4. Parts 10-13, Assistance History Data: Aggregate, contain case-month records that summarize information for the months of January 1987 through December 1996 about the public assistance program participation and eligibility of persons associated with sampled cases. This dataset was constructed from the Assistance History Data: Persons datasets (Parts 14-17) that contain persons associated with the study units. Parts 14-17, Assistance History Data: Persons, contain the Medi-Cal and program participation history of each person associated with the assistance units for cases selected between October 1992 and March 1997. This dataset does not include information about persons who left the assistance unit before the month sampled. Each record includes program participation information for each month from January 1987 through December 1996, a total of 120 months, as well as demographic information. Parts 18-21, Medi-Cal Payments Data: Cases, contain one record for each case selected to be part of the CWPDP sample between December 1992 and March 1997. This dataset contains the Medi-Cal payments made for each case in the study for the month of December 1992 and quarterly from 1993 through the fourth quarter of 1997. University of California Data Archive and Technical Assistance receives this data from California Department of Social Services-Research Branch (CDSS-RB) by quarter (not month), aggregated to case number. Therefore, the data in these files are aggregated payments information for all assistance units with the same case number, whether or not that assistance unit is part of the CWPDP sample. These files are identical to the Medi-Cal Payments Data: Cases files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 3.

Middletown IV was a 1999 replication of two of the most important surveys that had been conducted in 1924 and 1977: the Community Survey and the High School Survey. The High School Survey (1977, 1989, and 1999) queried respondents about the number of years they attended Muncie schools, membership in extra-curricular activities, sex education, curriculum, grades and schoolwork, books and magazines read that were not assigned, and future plans post-high school. Respondents were also asked about close friendships, work outside of school, activities on Sunday, and their opinions about their relationship with their parents, and several statements about personal, political, and social issues. For the Community Survey (1978, 1999), respondents were asked about their residence and living in Muncie, as well as job history, reasons to work, and the advantages gained from working. The survey also asked questions of respondents about spouse employment and vacation, household roles, activities, and expenses, as well as close friendships, important qualities in boys and girls, educational plans for their children, and opinions on special topics. For the Family Roles Survey (1978), respondents were asked to express their opinion in regard to raising a family in Muncie, spouse role performance and expectations, marital satisfaction, and close friendships. The Government Services Survey (1978) asked respondents about their participation in the 1976 presidential, 1974 Indiana congressional, and 1975 Muncie city elections, service in the armed forces, and housing. In addition, the survey asked respondents for their opinion in regard to unemployed citizens, welfare, the Muncie community, and government programs, as well as their awareness or use of certain programs. The Kinship Survey (1978) asked respondents to identify where and how long they lived at a location in relationship to Muncie. In addition, respondents were asked for demographic information about their spouse, mother and father (their own and their spouse's), siblings, cousins, and children, their relationship and interactions with them, including their participation in different types of activities together, giving or receiving of goods or services, and frequency of communication. The Neighborhood Survey (1978), queried respondents about their residence in a Muncie neighborhood and their intent to remain at or move from this location. Opinions were sought about the neighborhood and particular facilities visited, attended, or used most often. Respondents were also asked to identify whether relatives or friends lived in Muncie, the location of their residence, as well as their spouses' work location. Respondents scored their interactions with their closest relative, and identified relationships with friends and work associates. In the Religion Survey (1978), respondents provided information about their participation in political elections, what activities they enjoy, as well as their opinion in regard to quality of life, marital satisfaction, racial inequality, women's liberation, and their response when encountering a problem. In addition, respondents were asked about their religious behavior and philosophies, including practices such as prayer, fasting, and the teaching and study of different religions. For the Women's Occupational Survey (1978), respondents were queried about their views in regard to quality of life and marriage including number of times and age married, the status of the marriage, number of children born in each marriage, marital satisfaction, relationship with spouse, causes of disagreement with spouse, and household roles. Pertaining to occupation, respondents answered questions about job training and requirements, job satisfaction, and job discrimination. They also provided their opinions about how work had affected their relationships with their children and spouse. For the Recreation Survey (1982), respondents were queried about attending professional events, participating in sports and household activities, visiting particular recreational locations, owning recreational, electronic, or entertainment equipment, and playing a musical instrument. In addition, the survey posed questions about membership in a group or organization, vacations, religious behaviors, and books or magazines read. Respondents also provided their opinion about gender attributes pertaining to societal roles. Major demographic themes that may appear in one or more of the surveys include age, gender, race, birthplace, occupation and employment, income, social class, education, marital status, religious preference, number of friends or relatives in the city, number and ages of children or siblings, and household composition, as well as the topic of organizational memberships, political affiliation, time spent per day watching movies or television, and number of newspaper or magazine subscriptions. For the Community Survey (1978, 1999), Kinship Survey (1978), Neighborhood Survey (1978), and Women's Occupational Survey (1978), in addition to occupation, the data may also include Duncan Socioeconomic Index (SEI), Siegel Prestige, or industry classification codes.

Continuation of Services Funded Under Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (ICPSR 8246)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
This data collection examines the fates of services funded under Title III of the Older Americans Act if and when that source of funding is terminated. The main objectives of the study were to investigate the pattern of continuation of projects funded under the Title III program and the importance of various factors contributing to the continuation of Title III projects. The study covered 33 planning and service areas in 24 states and represented all ten federal regions. Members of 426 state agencies on aging, area agencies on aging, and service providers were interviewed. Information is provided on the extent to which projects actually had their Title III funds terminated, the providers' responses to termination, the actions precipitated by continuation at reduced levels, the extent of budgetary reductions, the impact of Title III funding termination on client group composition, and the effects of project types and services on project continuation. Variables in Part 1, the Service Provider survey, include the organization's area of service, the number of paid staff members, the number of older persons they assisted, the duration of their current or last Title III grant, and the Title III project's total budget in its last year. Area agencies and state units on aging (Parts 2 and 3, respectively) were asked questions about granting processes, such as the agencies involved, the logistics of extensions, and the involvement of local officials in replacing Title III funding by allocating public funds.
