United States Department of Health and Human Services. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a state-based system of health surveys that collects information on health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access primarily related to chronic disease and injury. For many states, the BRFSS is the only available source of timely, accurate data on health-related behaviors. BRFSS was established in 1984 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); currently data are collected monthly in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, and Guam. More than 350,000 adults are interviewed each year, making the BRFSS the largest telephone health survey in the world. States use BRFSS data to identify emerging health problems, establish and track health objectives, and develop and evaluate public health policies and programs. The BRFSS is a cross-sectional telephone survey conducted by state health departments with technical and methodologic assistance provided by CDC. States conduct monthly telephone surveillance using a standardized questionnaire to determine the distribution of risk behaviors and health practices among adults. Responses are forwarded to CDC, where the monthly data are aggregated for each state, returned with standard tabulations, and published at the year's end by each state. The BRFSS questionnaire was developed jointly by CDC's Behavioral Surveillance Branch (BSB) and the states. When combined with mortality and morbidity statistics, these data enable public health officials to establish policies and priorities and to initiate and assess health promotion strategies.

University of California, Los Angeles. Institute for Social Science Research
The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys [LAMAS] 8, 1974 collection reflects data gathered in 1974 as part of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys (LAMAS). The LAMAS, beginning in the spring of 1970, are a shared-time omnibus survey of Los Angeles County community members, usually repeated twice annually. The LAMAS were conducted ten times between 1970 and 1976 in an effort to develop a set of standard community profile measures appropriate for use in the planning and evaluation of public policy.
The LAMAS instruments, indexes, and scales were used to track the development and course of social indicators (including social, psychological, health, and economic variables) and the impact of public policy on the community. Questions in this survey cover respondents' attitudes toward the following topics: commute times, means of transportation, and trust in government. In addition, participating researchers were given the option of submitting questions to be asked in addition to the core items. These additional topics include: mental health and psychological factors, access to medical care, alcoholism, the energy crisis, and attitudes towards black-owned businesses.
Demographic variables in this dataset include age, sex, marital status, ethnicity, education, income, occupation, political party affiliation, and language.

The Second Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA II) is a
collaborative effort of the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA). The NATIONAL HEALTH
INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1994: SECOND SUPPLEMENT ON AGING (SOA II) (ICPSR
2563) serves as the baseline for this study. LSOA II, Wave 3 consists
of 7,936 survivor interviews and 906 decedent interviews in two data
files: the Survivor File (Part 1) and the Decedent File (Part 2). The
Survivor File contains one record for each sample person (N = 9,447)
interviewed at baseline and includes information drawn from several
additional sources, including the 1994 National Health Interview
Survey (ICPSR 6724) core questionnaire, the 1994 National Health
Interview Survey: Family Resources Supplement (ICPSR 2656), Phase I of
the 1994 National Health Interview Survey on Disability (ICPSR 2539),
and the SOA II baseline interview (ICPSR 2563). Wave 3 questions
(beginning at variable SF3664) examined migration, convalescent home
utilization, nutrition, influenza immunization, mammogram, prostate,
and cholesterol screenings, routine use of vitamins, aspirin, calcium
supplements, and antioxidants, and detailed questions on home health
care utilization. In addition, a random one-quarter sample of the
follow-up respondents were chosen to complete the Childhood Health and
Family Longevity Module. This section is similar to that administered
during the 1996 Health and Retirement Survey (HRS). Variable SF3462
indicates whether the sample person answered the childhood module. For
the Decedent File (Part 2), information was gathered from a family
member or close relative regarding sample persons (N = 906) who were
deceased at the time of Wave 3 interviews. Questions focused on
housing, long-term care, assistance with key activities, chronic
conditions, cognitive functioning, health care use, and health
insurance.

United States Department of Health and Human Services. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Office of Applied Studies
This series measures the prevalence and correlates of drug
use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide
quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on
the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco among members of United
States households aged 12 and older. Questions include age at first
use as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the
following drug classes: marijuana, cocaine (and crack), hallucinogens,
heroin, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, anabolic steroids, nonmedical use
of prescription-type psychotherapeutic drugs, and polysubstance
use. Respondents were also asked about substance abuse treatment
history, illegal activities, problems resulting from use of drugs,
perceptions of the risks involved, and personal and family income
sources and amounts. Questions on need for treatment for drug or
alcohol use, criminal record, and needle-sharing were also included.
A split sample design using two questionnaires was employed with the
1994 NHSDA. The 1994-A questionnaire is comparable to NHSDA
questionnaires prior to 1994 and contains all of the core questions
from previous NHSDAs. The 1994-B questionnaire, which includes new
questions on access to care and mental health, incorporates
significant changes from the previous questionnaires and can only be
compared to NHSDA surveys in 1995 and beyond. The changes to the
questionnaire were undertaken in order to facilitate respondent
cooperation, enhance the clarity of questions, improve the accuracy of
responses, and increase the reliability of measurements across survey
years. In addition, a rural supplementary sample was included in 1994
to obtain substance abuse prevalence estimates for rural areas.
Demographic data include gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status,
motor vehicle use, educational level, job status, income level,
veteran status, and past and current household composition.

with parents who had same-sex relationships, or with parents who remarried after divorce.
Respondents were asked about a range of topics, including social behaviors: such as educational attainment and
performance, work history, risk-taking, and religiosity; health behaviors: such as substance abuse, sexually transmitted infections,
and emotional states (depression, anger, and stress), and relationships: including the quality and stability of romantic relationships, marital history,
fertility, sexual orientation, and family connectedness.
Additional questions asked whether respondents voted in the 2008 presidential election, how much time they spent on various activities;
watching TV, gaming, and on social networking sites, and how many Facebook "friends" they had.
Demographic information includes age, education level, race, gender, income, marital status, employment status, and household size.

The New Hope Project gathered information on respondents over eight years using several data sources. This collection consists of three datasets: (1) Adults, (2) Child and Family Study (CFS) Parents, and (3) Youth. Information was collected on respondent's employment history, job characteristics and security, other sources of income, feelings about respondent's financial situation, material hardship, respondent's access to health care, as well as experiences with the New Hope program. Furthermore, families with at least one child between the ages of 1 and 10 at initial random assignment were selected for the Child and Family Study (CFS). The CFS independently surveyed parents/primary caregivers and up to two focal children when applicable, and collected information about the parents' and the child's well-being. Additionally, teachers of school-aged children were mailed surveys and asked to rate the child's performance and behavior. Demographic variables include age, gender, race, nationality, citizenship, educational attainment, employment status, income, marital status, parent-child relations, and household composition.

The Treatment Episode Data Set -- Admissions (TEDS-A) is a national census data system of annual admissions to substance abuse treatment facilities. TEDS-A provides annual data on the number and characteristics of persons admitted to public and private substance abuse treatment programs that receive public funding. The unit of analysis is a treatment admission. TEDS consists of data reported to state substance abuse agencies by the treatment programs, which in turn report it to SAMHSA.
A sister data system, called the Treatment Episode Data Set -- Discharges (TEDS-D), collects data on discharges from substance abuse treatment facilities. The first year of TEDS-A data is 1992, while the first year of TEDS-D is 2006.
TEDS variables that are required to be reported are called the "Minimum Data Set (MDS)", while those that are optional are called the "Supplemental Data Set (SuDS)".
Variables in the MDS include: information on service setting, number of prior treatments, primary source of referral, gender, race, ethnicity, education, employment status, substance(s) abused, route of administration, frequency of use, age at first use, and whether methadone was prescribed in treatment. Supplemental variables include: diagnosis codes, presence of psychiatric problems, living arrangements, source of income, health insurance, expected source of payment, pregnancy and veteran status, marital status, detailed not in labor force codes, detailed criminal justice referral codes, days waiting to enter treatment, and the number of arrests in the 30 days prior to admissions (starting in 2008) .
Substances abused include alcohol, cocaine and crack, marijuana and hashish, heroin, nonprescription methadone, other opiates and synthetics, PCP, other hallucinogens, methamphetamine, other amphetamines, other stimulants, benzodiazepines, other non-benzodiazepine tranquilizers, barbiturates, other non-barbiturate sedatives or hypnotics, inhalants, over-the-counter medications, and other substances.
Created variables include total number of substances reported, intravenous drug use (IDU), and flags for any mention of specific substances.

The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) was
conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and
transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC
hospitals. DC*MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the
drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16
separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which
are typically not included or are underrepresented in household
surveys.
The Homeless and Transient Population
study examines the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco
use among members of the homeless and transient population aged 12 and
older in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC
MSA). The sample frame included respondents from shelters, soup
kitchens and food banks, major cluster encampments, and literally
homeless people. Data from the questionnaires include history of
homelessness, living arrangements and population movement, tobacco,
drug, and alcohol use, consequences of use, treatment history, illegal
behavior and arrest, emergency room treatment and hospital stays,
physical and mental health, pregnancy, insurance, employment and
finances, and demographics. Drug specific data include age at first
use, route of administration, needle use, withdrawal symptoms,
polysubstance use, and perceived risk.
