Released/updated on: 2014-11-07
Geographic coverage: Flint, United States, Michigan
Time period: 1994-01-01--1997-01-01
The Flint Adolescent Study (FAS) interviewed 850 ninth graders in the four public high schools of Flint, MI. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Projects for Urban and Regional Affairs and Flint Community Schools. The goal of the study was to explore the protective factors associated with school dropout and alcohol and substance use. The study followed the youths for four years beginning in the Fall of 1994. The sample reflected the overall student body in the Flint high schools. In order to study those students most at risk for leaving school before graduation, individuals with grade point averages of 3.0 and below were selected.
Interviews were conducted face-to-face with each student at the school or in a community location for students who were out of school. Each interview took about one hour to complete. At the end of the interview students were asked to complete the last section of the questionnaire by themselves which contains questions about their drug use and sexual behavior.
Information obtained from the youths includes: participation in church, school, and community organizations; social support and influence of family and friends; self esteem and psychological well being; delinquent and violent behaviors; alcohol and substance use; sex behavior and child bearing; school attitudes and performance; and family structure and relationships. The Youths were asked to complete a brief questionnaire at the end of the interview about their alcohol and substance use, and sexual behavior. In years 3 and 4 questions also asked about driving behavior, attachment style, stress, mentoring, and racial identity. Data was also collected about parental education and occupation.

The Nationwide Personal Transportation Study (NPTS) was designed to collect information on all trips taken during a designated 24-hour period and some additional detail on trips of 75 miles or more during the preceding 14-day period.

Also provided is information about trips taken by persons who commute to and/or from their job. There are 32 files, covering the following eight areas for each year quarter: Household Characteristics (Parts 1, 9, 17, and 25), Household Member Characteristics (Parts 2, 10, 18, and 26), Household Vehicle Information (Parts 3, 11, 19, and 27), Occupation and Travel-to-Work Data (Parts 4, 12, 20, and 28), Travel Day Trip Data (Parts 5, 13, 21, and 29), Fourteen-Day Travel Period Trips (Parts 6, 14, 22, and 30), Stop Data for Fourteen-Day Travel Period Trips (Parts 7, 15, 23, and 31), and Annual Long-Trip Data (Parts 8, 16, 24, and 32) compiled from the National Household Travel Survey for the 13,365 households common to both studies.

Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey, 1995: [United States] (ICPSR 3595)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1995-01-01--1996-01-01
The Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey serves as the nation's inventory of daily personal travel. It collects data on daily trips including purpose of the trip, means of transportation used, travel time, vehicle occupancy, driver characteristics, and vehicle attributes. These data are collected for all personal trips, all modes and purposes, all trip lengths, all areas of the country, all days of the week, and all months of the year. Part 1, the Household File, contains data on the relationship between household members and demographic information for household members. The file also contains information on housing characteristics, as well as characteristics of the block group and census tract. Availability and distance to public transportation are also included. Part 2, the Person File, contains information on seat belt use, modes of transportation used for travel to work, and costs for parking. Part 3, the Vehicle File, contains data relating to each of the household's vehicles, including whether a particular household member usually drives the vehicle, when it was purchased, the vehicle type, and model year. Part 4, the Travel Day Trip File, contains data about each trip the person made on the household's randomly assigned travel day. Information was collected on the purpose of the trip, the number of trips within the trip chain, where the trip chain started, and the amount of time spent at each destination. Part 5, the Segmented Travel Day Trip File, contains data for up to four segments of each segmented travel day trip the person made on the travel day. The file contains information on the start time, mode of transportation used, purpose, and duration of each travel segment. Part 6, the Travel Period File, contains data for every trip of at least 75 miles one way that the person took during a 14-day period ending on the travel day. The file contains information on the start date, purpose, and transportation mode used for trip. New for the 1995 survey was a written diary, used to help respondents to better remember their travel on their designated travel day, and a household roster of trips, which was used to assist respondents in recalling trips made with other household members. New questions included satisfaction with the nation's transportation system, reactions to mobility and congestion, perceived difficulties in travel, and use of seat belts.

North Carolina Highway Traffic Study, 2000-2001 (ICPSR 4078)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: North Carolina, United States
Time period: 2000-01-01--2001-01-01
This study investigated whether the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) practiced racial profiling. The NCSHP provided data on all vehicular stops (Parts 1 and 2), written warnings (Part 3), and citations (Part 4) its officers issued in 2000. This included data on what the stops or tickets were for, the race, sex, and age of the driver, and the make, model, and year of the car being driven. Data on accidents in 2000 (Part 5), also obtained from the NCSHP, were used to examine whether there were racial disparities in unsafe driving practices. These data included information about what caused the accident and the race, sex, and age of the driver. The NCSHP also supplied data on all officers who worked for the NCSHP in 2000 (Part 6), including their race, age, and rank. The data in Part 6 can be linked to the data in Parts 3 and 4. In addition, two surveys of North Carolina drivers were conducted to gather information on reported typical driving behaviors that may influence the probability of being stopped, and to gather information about stops conducted by law enforcement agencies across the state. One was conducted using a sample of North Carolina drivers who had recently renewed their licenses (Part 7), and the other used a sample of North Carolina drivers who were ticketed for speeding between June 1, 1999, and June 1, 2000 (Part 8).

Released/updated on: 2006-02-07
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 1994-01-01--1997-01-01
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. The Self Report of Offending was a self-report questionnaire focused on a participant's involvement in antisocial behavior and the legal consequences of that behavior.
