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.

Decision-Related Research on the Organization of Service Delivery Systems in Metropolitan Areas: Public Health (ICPSR 7374)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1970-01-01--1975-01-01

This study represents one of four research projects on service delivery systems in metropolitan areas, covering fire protection (DECISION-RELATED RESEARCH ON THE ORGANIZATION OF SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS: FIRE PROTECTION [ICPSR 7409]), police protection (DECISION-RELATED RESEARCH ON THE ORGANIZATION OF SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS: POLICE PROTECTION [ICPSR 7427]), solid waste management (DECISION-RELATED RESEARCH ON THE ORGANIZATION OF SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT [ICPSR 7487]), and public health (the present study). All four projects used a common unit of analysis, namely all 200 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) that, according to the 1970 Census, had a population of less than 1,500,000 and were entirely located within a single state. In each project, a limited amount of information was collected for all 200 SMSAs. More extensive data were gathered within independently drawn samples of these SMSAs, for all local geographical units and each administrative jurisdiction or agency in the service delivery areas. Two standardized systems of geocoding -- the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) codes and the Office of Revenue Sharing (ORS) codes -- were used, so that data from various sources could be combined. The use of these two coding schemes also allows users to combine data from two or more of the research projects conducted in conjunction with the present one, or to add data from a wide variety of public data files. The delivery of public health services was investigated in 200 SMSAs plus Minneapolis and St. Paul. The basic data collection effort involved the use of public data sources as well as proprietary data from the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities (CPHA). Because of the proprietary nature of some of the data and for the preservation of confidentiality, all analyses were performed at the SMSA level. Unlike the other three related research projects, the present study does not provide disaggregated units of analysis such as the administrative jurisdiction, the individual hospital, or other facilities. Variables describe the characteristics of available professionals and facilities, regulatory factors reflecting the impact of federal and state programs available in the area, and financing factors, including the coverage of state Medicaid programs, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Medicare programs. Information is also provided regarding the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population served in each SMSA.

Food Service Delivery Systems Used in Providing Nutrition Services to the Elderly (ICPSR 8347)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

This data collection contains information gathered from January through April 1981 on nutrition projects serving the elderly in the United States. The sample represents nutrition projects funded through Title IIIC of the Older Americans Act of 1965. This sample, which was stratified according to the rural or urban character of the project and its predominant delivery system (a total of 10 categories), represented approximately 10 percent of all nutrition projects in operation at the time. The specific objectives of the study were (1) to develop reliable descriptive information with respect to cost, nutritional quality, and microbiological content of the meals, (2) to analyze cost, nutritional, microbiological, and environmental data, in order to determine the range of costs and the factors that influenced total cost per meal, costs of various elements of nutrition service (e.g., labor costs, administrative and service costs, and building and equipment costs), and the costs of meal functions (e.g., meal preparation, meal delivery to congregate sites, congregate service or home-delivery, and supportive activities), and (3) to develop conclusions regarding the relative advantages and disadvantages of each meal service delivery system in different settings, to describe the implications of these conclusions for Administration on Aging program policy, and to suggest criteria by which providers might choose the most appropriate delivery systems for their projects. Data include project characteristics, sample site characteristics, meals served, number of meals served and prepared during the two-day test period, participant/visitor contributions during test period, background information on delivery systems, project-level labor and administrative costs, meal site labor and administrative costs, central kitchen labor and administrative costs, and capital expenses.

National Survey of Institutionalized Persons, 1976 (ICPSR 7866)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

This data collection was designed to obtain information about the services and resources of the various types of long-term care facilities in the United States, i.e., chronic care institutions (providing care for people with chronic conditions, diseases, and handicaps), institutions that provide care for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped, nursing homes, homes for the aged, and residential schools and treatments centers. Six major areas of concern were examined in this study: (1) the appropriateness of placement/admission and discharge, plus possible alternatives, (2) the quality of life within the institutional environment, (3) the residents' rights and legal status, (4) the medical and non-medical services provided and needed, (5) the sources of financing such care, and (6) the impact of government programs and policies upon the costs and provision of certain types of service. This information was collected from 9,090 residents of 851 institutions and from 3,289 of their family members. Administrative staff at each resident's facility also provided information about that facility as well as the sampled resident. Data about the resident's institution include its basic characteristics, e.g., type of care provided, ownership, number of beds, occupancy rate, and services and programs offered. Resident data include basic social and demographic characteristics, reason for institutionalization, cost of care, current activities, type of treatment, and the physical limitations of the institutional population. Family data examine the next of kin's relationship to the resident, e.g., relative's proximity to the institution, frequency of visits, and monetary contributions to the resident, as well as the next of kin's demographic characteristics and views of the resident and his or her institutionalization.

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

This survey gauged the economic and social status of Southeast Asian refugees who arrived in the United States after September 1978, a group generally known as the "Boat People." Special emphasis was placed on investigating how these refugees adapted to life in the United States and achieved economic self-sufficiency. The survey asked about educational and occupational backgrounds, household composition, family size, secondary migration after arrival in the United States, English proficiency, health problems, health care, insurance coverage, employment, earned income, rent payments, automobile ownership, and the use of government and private programs providing income assistance, vocational training, and other kinds of services. Respondents also were queried about financial setbacks incurred since arrival in the United States, financial support of persons living outside the household, membership in clubs and associations, problems faced in adjusting to life in the United States, degree of satisfaction with housing, neighborhood, services received, and life as a whole, and perceptions about prospects for the future.

Survey of Disability and Work, 1978: [United States] (ICPSR 8491)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

The Survey of Disability and Work was designed to examine the economic, medical, and social consequences of limitation in work activity for the disabled person and the person's family, including eligibility for public income-maintenance programs. This study includes information on disability program provisions and the public's knowledge of these government programs, as well as the source for this information and advice as to whether or not to apply for any of the various kinds of benefits. Other objectives of this survey were to examine work incentives and income adequacy as they affect a disabled person's inclination to apply for benefits or to return to the labor force once on the rolls. Measures of medical severity (in terms of symptoms and diagnoses) were established, as well as, the number and characteristics of the disabled, the proportion of different forms of health problems, national disability rates for different races and age groups, and the proportion of the disabled whose total family income falls below the poverty level. Included in this data collection are variables on the labor force, work experience and limitations, job satisfaction, attitudinal data, family income and background, government programs, and disability benefits.

Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) [1984 Panel] (ICPSR 8317)

Released/updated on: 2002-09-03

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1983-06-01--1986-06-01

This longitudinal survey was designed to add significantly to the amount of detailed information available on the economic situation of households and persons in the United States. These data examine the level of economic well-being of the population and also provide information on how economic situations relate to the demographic and social characteristics of individuals. There are three basic elements contained in the survey. The first is a control card that records basic social and demographic characteristics for each person in a household, as well as changes in such characteristics over the course of the interviewing period. The second element is the core portion of the questionnaire, with questions repeated at each interview on labor force activity, types and amounts of income, participation in various cash and noncash benefit programs, attendance in postsecondary schools, private health insurance coverage, public or subsidized rental housing, low-income energy assistance, and school breakfast and lunch participation. The third element consists of topical modules which are series of supplemental questions asked during selected household visits. No topical modules were created for the first or second waves. The Wave III Rectangular Core and Topical Module File offers both the core data and additional data on (1) education and work history and (2) health and disability. In the areas of education and work history, data are supplied on the highest level of schooling attained, courses or programs studied in high school and after high school, whether the respondent received job training, and if so, for how long and under what program (e.g., CETA or WIN). Other items pertain to the respondent's general job history and include a description of selected previous jobs, duration of jobs, and reasons for periods spent not working. Health and disability variables present information on the general condition of the respondent's health, functional limitations, work disability, and the need for personal assistance. Data are also provided on hospital stays or periods of illness, health facilities used, and whether health insurance plans (private or Medicare) were available. Respondents whose children had physical, mental, or emotional problems were questioned about the causes of the problems and whether the children attended regular schools. The Wave IV Rectangular Core and Topical Module file contains both the core data and sets of questions exploring the subjects of (1) assets and liabilities, (2) retirement and pension coverage, and (3) housing costs, conditions, and energy usage. Some of the major assets for which data are provided are savings accounts, stocks, mutual funds, bonds, Keogh and IRA accounts, home equity, life insurance, rental property, and motor vehicles. Data on unsecured liabilities such as loans, credit cards, and medical bills also are included. Retirement and pension information covers such items as when respondents expect to stop working, whether they will receive retirement benefits, whether their employers have retirement plans, if so whether they are eligible, and how much they expect to receive per year from these plans. In the category of housing costs, conditions, and energy usage, variables pertain to mortgage payments, real estate taxes, fire insurance, principal owed, when the mortgage was obtained, interest rates, rent, type of fuel used, heating facilities, appliances, and vehicles. The Wave V topical modules explore the subject areas of (1) child care, (2) welfare history and child support, (3) reasons for not working/reservation wage, and (4) support for nonhousehold members/work-related expenses. Data on child care include items on child care arrangements such as who provides the care, the number of hours of care per week, where the care is provided, and the cost. Questions in the areas of welfare history and child support focus on receipt of aid from specific welfare programs and child support agreements and their fulfillment. The reasons for not working/reservation wage module presents data on why persons are not in the labor force and the conditions under which they might join the labor force. Additional variables cover job search activities, pay rate required, and reason for refusal of a job offer. The set of questions dealing with nonhousehold members/work-related expenses contains items on regular support payments for nonhousehold members and expenses associated with a job such as union dues, licenses, permits, special tools, uniforms, or travel expenses. Information is supplied in the Wave VII Topical Module file on (1) assets and liabilities, (2) pension plan coverage, and (3) real estate property and vehicles. Variables pertaining to assets and liabilities are similar to those contained in the topical module for Wave IV. Pension plan coverage items include whether the respondent will receive retirement benefits, whether the employer offers a retirement plan and if the respondent is included in the plan, and contributions by the employer and the employee to the plan. Real estate property and vehicles data include information on mortgages held, amount of principal still owed and current interest rate on mortgages, rental and vacation properties owned, and various items pertaining to vehicles belonging to the household. Wave VIII Topical Module includes questions on support for nonhousehold members, work-related expenses, marital history, migration history, fertility history, and household relationships. Support for nonhousehold members includes data for children and adults not in the household. Weekly and annual work-related expenses are documented. Widowhood, divorce, separation, and marriage dates are part of the marital history. Birth expectations as well as dates of birth for all the householder's children, in the household or elsewhere, are recorded in the fertility history. Migration history data supplies information on birth history of the householder's parents, number of times moved, and moving expenses. Household relationships lists the exact relationships among persons living in the household. Part 49, Wave IX Rectangular Core and Topical Module Research File, includes data on annual income, retirement accounts, taxes, school enrollment, and financing. This topical module research file has not been edited nor imputed, but has been topcoded or bottomcoded and recoded if necessary by the Census Bureau to avoid disclosure of individual respondents' identities.

Survey of Low Income Aged and Disabled, United States, 1973-1974 (ICPSR 7661)

Released/updated on: 2018-11-19

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1973-01-01--1974-01-01

This data collection contains the results of the Survey of Low Income Aged and Disabled (SLIAD), conducted in 1973-1974 in order to collect demographic and socioeconomic data necessary for assessing the effect of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program on potential recipients. After January 1, 1974, SSI replaced the state-administered welfare programs of Old Age Assistance (OAA), Aid to the Blind (AB), and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (APTD) and was meant to improve the economic well-being of the adult poor. A national sample of about 18,000 low-income aged, blind, and/or disabled adults was interviewed in 1973, and reinterviewed in 1974, after SSI was implemented. The 1974 re-interviews were conducted only with persons successfully interviewed in 1973. No new cases were added to replace first-year losses, nor were cases dropped because they no longer met SSI eligibility. Part 1 contains data gathered from a sample made up of aged and disabled persons who received OAA, AB, and/or APTD payments in 1973. Part 2 contains data gathered from a sample of low-income aged and disabled people in the general population (generated from Current Population Survey samples). The United States Census Bureau conducted the interviews and collected the data. The 1973 survey placed great emphasis on financial matters. Each respondent was asked to report income received in the preceding month and year by each of three general classes of persons in the household. The questionnaire listed more than 15 income sources including payments and awards from almost every transfer program possible, earnings from jobs and businesses, gifts, and dividends. The financial section of the questionnaire also included items aimed at establishing the value of owned property, savings and investments, the amount of indebtedness, and the amount spent for food, shelter, and other recurring household expenditures. For the most part, the remainder of the questionnaire concerned (1) household composition, (2) personal history, (3) health, health care, and the capacity for self-maintenance, (4) standard of living, as represented by housing, diet, travel, and recreation, (5) factors that might affect the relation between income and standard of living (e.g., personal preference, physical capacity, and access), and (6) attitudinal response to these conditions, circumstances, and types of status. The 1974 survey was similar in that it asked almost all of the earlier income and asset questions, but added a section on SSI payments. It also collected more detail on household living expenses. It did not repeat the biographical section or the inventory of health conditions from the 1973 survey, but did contain new questions on a spouses' funeral expenses as well as the respondent's experience with SSI.
