Mortality in Correctional Institutions: ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes for Natural Deaths Occurring in State Prison or Local Jail Custody, 2000-2019 (ICPSR 38671)

Released/updated on: 2023-05-15
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2000-01-01--2019-01-01, 2001-01-01--2019-01-01

The Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) collection was collected annually by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) from 2000 to 2019 from the approximately 2,800 local adult jail jurisdictions nationwide, and from 2001 to 2019 from the 50 state departments of corrections. The MCI obtained national, state, and incident-level data on persons who died while in the physical custody of state prisons and local jails. The MCI began in 2000 under the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-297), and continued after the law was reauthorized in 2014. BJS used MCI data to track national trends in the number and causes (or manners) of deaths occurring in state prison or local jail custody. The MCI collected data about the characteristics of the decedents as well as circumstances surrounding the death, including the cause, time and location where the death occurred, and information on whether an autopsy was conducted and the availability of results to the respondent. This data collection is comprised of two datasets (one prison, one jail) that contain all deaths from 2000-2019 with the illness (also known as natural) deaths assigned ICD-10 diagnosis codes when possible. Data on executions and deaths of persons in the custody of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies not acting in a jail capacity were considered out-of-scope for MCI. More details on the collection, survey instruments, and publications using the MCI data can be found at the BJS website: Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) (Formerly Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP)) | Bureau of Justice Statistics.

National Health Interview Survey, 1991: Drug and Alcohol Use Supplement (ICPSR 6132)

Released/updated on: 2003-01-10
Geographic coverage: United States
The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. This supplement includes variables from the core Person File (see NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1991 [ICPSR 6049]), including sex, age, race, marital status, veteran status, education, income, industry and occupation codes, and limits on activity. Variables unique to this supplement include respondents' use of alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, painkillers, inhalants, stimulants, heroin, hallucinogens, marijuana, and cocaine. Respondents were also asked if they ever used a controlled substance, how often they used it, when they last used it, and at what age they first used it. Questions about personal and legal problems due to drug and/or alcohol use were asked as well. In addition, respondents were queried about activities performed while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and if they had tried to cut down on the use of these substances.

Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS): Wave 7, RAPID: The Coronavirus Pandemic: Predictors and Consequences of Compliance with Social Distancing Recommendations, United States, 2020 (ICPSR 38815)

Released/updated on: 2026-05-05
Geographic coverage: United States, Ohio, Toledo
Time period: 2020-06-05--2020-11-06

This study builds on a 20-year longitudinal investigation of the lives and relationship experiences of a large, diverse sample of young adult women and men interviewed first as adolescents. It focuses on the phenomenon of social distancing.

The COVID-19 survey (online) module and in-depth (phone) interviews with subsamples of compliant and less than compliant respondents has three specific aims: a) identify life course experiences and social influences associated with variability in compliance with social distancing recommendations, b) examine relationship-based dynamics and other contingencies (e.g., economic) linked to compliance decision-making, and particularly factors associated with 'derailments' after initially intending to comply with these guidelines, and c) assess consequences of social distancing for emotional and behavioral health and relationship functioning (e.g., depression, substance use, intimate partner conflict).

The Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) includes six prior waves of data that were collected in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2011, and 2018 through 2020. Please see the ICPSR Series page for available studies.
