Other SIPP files may be found under a separate study number, ICPSR 8317. The Health-Wealth file contains blanks, dashes, and alphabetic codes. Because the file has been collapsed from hierarchical to rectangular form, the file contains large blank areas. Data from Waves III and IV together span 12 months of information, from January to December 1984. Data for each respondent spans no more than eight months. The age distribution of the 58,268 persons interviewed was as follows: 0-64 years (n=54,370), 65-74 years (n=2,300), 75-84 years (n=1,308), 85 and older (n=290).

SIPP employed a multi-stage stratified sampling design. Approximately 26,000 housing units were initially selected, and about 21,000 of these were occupied and eligible for interview. One-fourth of these households were interviewed each month, and households were re-interviewed at four-month intervals. All persons at least 15 years old who were present as household members at the time of the first interview are included, except those moving to Alaska, outside the United States, or into military barracks. About 4,000 of nearly 19,000 households had a householder aged 65 or older.
