Euro-Barometer 32: The Single European Market, Drugs, Alcohol, and Cancer, November 1989 (ICPSR 9519)
Released/updated on: 1996-12-10
Geographic coverage: United Kingdom, Portugal, Global, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, France, Germany
Time period: 1989-10-12--1989-11-22
This round of Euro-Barometer surveys had for its major focus
issues involving drugs, alcohol, cancer, and the single European
market. Respondents were asked to consider the influence of the
environment, the anticipated effects of the Single Market of 1992, and
the repercussions of an aging population on public health. Moreover,
respondents were asked to identify and prioritize the most serious
health problems facing the European Community, and also to evaluate the
various efforts being made to combat these problems. Health topics
addressed included drugs and drug addiction, cancer, smoking,
alcoholism, AIDS, cardiovascular disease, education, diet, and
vaccinations. Other major questions involved additional effects of the
Single European Market of 1992, and whether certain issues of public
policy should be decided by national governments or jointly within the
European Community. Also, the survey gauged respondents' perceptions of
the European Parliament and the Commission of the European Communities,
along with categorizing opinions on the Soviet Union and President
Gorbachev, the United States and President Bush, the role and relevance
of NATO, U.S. military presence in Western Europe, and the possibility
of economic cooperation with Poland and Hungary. Respondents were also
asked to give examples of why they felt the United Nations was doing
either a good or a poor job in solving the problems it had to face, to
name various agencies and institutions that were part of the United
Nations, and to identify the Secretary General of the United Nations.
Respondents were queried regarding their source of information and
education on the United Nations, and were asked to indicate their level
of interest in receiving more information on pertinent United Nations
issues. As in previous Euro-Barometers, questions on political party
preference asked respondents which party they felt the closest to, how
they voted in their country's last general election, how they would
vote if a general election were held tomorrow, and, if not sure, which
party they would be most inclined to vote for. Respondents were also
asked to comment on the ideal number of children a family should have,
factors influencing the number of children parents decide to have, the
role of the family in society, and what government can do to improve
life for families. Other items included life satisfaction, use of and
attitudes toward dairy products, interest in politics, priority of
national goals, political party membership, and union membership.
Additional information was gathered on family income, number of people
residing in the home, size of locality, region of residence, occupation
of the head of household, and the respondent's age, sex, occupation,
education, religion, religiosity, subjective social class standing,
socio-professional status, and left-right political self-placement.

Geriatric Home Care Utilization: San Francisco, 1968-1975 (ICPSR 7853)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: San Francisco, United States, California
Time period: 1968-01-01--1975-01-01
This data collection reported on geriatric clients served by San Francisco Home Health Services, Inc. (SFHHS) between 1968 and 1975. The study was designed to document and analyze the natural history of home care service use from entry to exit, noting what types of users were in a home care agency's program and how intensively services were utilized. The study also identified outcome categories useful for response to public policy questions on the effectiveness of various service types in meeting geriatric needs. Also examined was the relationship of home care use to nursing home entry, and to the need for other services. In Part 1, data for 2,435 clients were gathered from case records at SFHHS. Variables used in the analysis include entry characteristics (e.g, age, sex, condition, living arrangement, and contextual variables such as referral source, prior source of care, and payment type), duration, intensity, and type of service utilization, as well as discharge or exit status. Some of these are calculated variables derived from each case's accumulated monthly service records (found in their raw form in Part 2). Part 2 contains 35,729 client monthly service records, which are distributed as raw data as received from SFHHS. Variables include billing date, pay plan, and frequency and intensity of assistance.

Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study, 1965-1973 (ICPSR 7779)
Released/updated on: 2016-01-28
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1965-01-01--1973-01-01
This study has two parts: a youth panel and a parent panel. High school students and their parents were interviewed in 1965 and reinterviewed in 1973. The panel study is designed to assess political continuity and change across time for two biologically-related generations and to explore life cycle, generational, and period effects. Analysis can be performed at the aggregate as well as the individual level. Because the two samples come from the same families, parent-offspring pairs can be formed (by matching I.D. numbers). At the core of the study are a number of standard political variables available at both time points. The 1973 wave includes a number of questions that capture the political and non-political histories of the respondent across the eight-year panel period. Also included in the 1973 data are a large number of variables dealing with perspectives on public policy issues. The 1965 youth wave schedule contains detailed questions about high school experiences, and both the youth and parental schedules treat familial relationships.

Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1965-01-01--1982-01-01
For this panel survey a national sample of high school seniors and their parents were interviewed in 1965, and again in 1973 and 1982. The survey gauges the impact of life-stage events and historical trends on the behaviors and attitudes of respondents. Each wave has a distinct focus. The 1965 data focus on high school experiences, while the 1973 data deal with the protest era. Data gathered in 1982 emphasize the maturing process and offer information relating to parental issues and family relationships. Other major areas of investigation include political participation, issue positions, group evaluations, civic orientations, personal change over time, stability in attitudes and behaviors over time, and partisanship and electoral behavior.

The 1965 data focus on high school experiences, while the 1973 data deal with the protest era.

Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study, 1965-1997: Four Waves Combined (ICPSR 4037)
Released/updated on: 2005-11-04
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1965-01-01--1997-01-01
The Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study is a series of surveys designed to assess political continuity and change across time for biologically-related generations and to gauge the impact of life-stage events and historical trends on the behaviors and attitudes of respondents. A national sample of high school seniors and their parents was first surveyed in 1965. Subsequent surveys of the same individuals were conducted in 1973, 1982, and 1997. This data collection combines all four waves of youth data for the study. The general objective of the data collection was to study the dynamics of political attitudes and behaviors by obtaining data on the same individuals as they aged from approximately 18 years of age in 1965 to 50 years of age in 1997. Especially when combined with other elements of the study as released in other ICPSR collections in the Youth Studies Series, this data collection facilitates the analysis of generational, life cycle, and historical effects and political influences on relationships within the family. This data collection also has several distinctive properties. First, it is a longitudinal study of a particular cohort, a national sample from the graduating high school class of 1965. Second, it captures the respondents at key points in their life stages -- at ages 18, 26, 35, and 50. Third, the dataset contains many replicated measures over time as well as some measures unique to each data point. Fourth, there is detailed information about the respondents' life histories. Background variables include age, sex, religious orientation, level of religious participation, marital status, ethnicity, educational status and background, place of residence, family income, and employment status.
