title: CBS News Monthly Poll #1, November 1998
title: Version 2

description: This poll, fielded November 15, 1998, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, the economy, and the situation with Iraq. Their views were also sought on the weekend decision by the United States to delay launching air strikes against Iraq after Saddam Hussein promised unconditional access to United Nations weapons inspections teams. Respondents were asked whether they believed Hussein's promise, whether air strikes would be an appropriate immediate reaction if Iraq failed to keep that promise, whether the goal of insuring that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction was worth the possible loss of American lives, and whether air strikes, if launched, should continue until Hussein complied or was removed from office. A series of questions addressed the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones. Topics covered Clinton's guilt or innocence, the November 13, 1998, settlement between Jones and Clinton's lawyers for $850,000, and whether that settlement meant that Clinton had admitted his guilt. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, education, religion, political party, and family income.

title: Afrobarometer: Round I Survey of Lesotho, March-June 2000
title: Version 1

description: The Afrobarometer project assesses attitudes toward democracy, markets, and civil society in several sub-Saharan African nations. This survey of Lesotho recorded Lesotho citizens' opinions about recent political and economic changes within their country. Respondents were asked about their current satisfaction with economic conditions in Lesotho, how they currently obtained food to eat, what resources they relied on for safety, and how they obtained health care. They were also asked how often in the last 12 months they or their family had gone without food, felt unsafe in terms of crime, gone without medicine, or gone without shelter. Respondents were asked how often they attended meetings of organizations such as church groups, local self-help associations, and trade unions. Their opinions were elicited on who they felt was responsible for providing schools, creating jobs, building houses, and reducing crime. They were asked what came to mind with the word "democracy" and whether they could identify their country's Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, District Development Committee member, or their representative on the community or urban council. Respondents were also asked how often they got news from such sources as radio, television, or newspapers and how closely they followed what was going on in government and public affairs. Respondents were asked to rate the way the country was governed under the military government, the current system of government with regular elections in which everyone can vote and there are at least two political parties, and the political system of the country as they expected it to be in ten years time. They were asked how interested they felt the Prime Minister was in what happened to them, how much of the time they could trust the Prime Minister, and their overall approval of the Prime Minister. Respondents were asked the same questions regarding Parliament and local government. In addition, those polled were asked about their awareness of the government's Structural Adjustment Programme and the effect it had on the way they lived their lives. They were also asked if they participated in such activities as the 1998 national elections, attending an election rally, or writing a letter to a newspaper. Demographic information was elicited from respondents, including age, language spoken, education, and employment status.

title: National Household Travel Survey, 2001: [United States]
title: Version 1

description: The 2001 National Household Travel Survey is a combination of the Federal Highway Administration's Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics American Travel Survey (ATS), which were conducted separately in previous years. The National Household Travel 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, and all areas of the country, urban and rural. The 2001 National Household Travel Survey collected additional data on trips to a destination 50 miles or more from home (long-distance travel) that started from home and ended at home during a four-week travel period. This was a change from previous years, where the travel range was 75 miles or more. Part 1, the Household File, contains data unique to a household, such as the number of household vehicles, household income, the relationship between household members, demographic information for household members, and educational level of the household respondent. Part 2, the Person File, contains demographic information, driver status, information on travel to work, miles driven, customer satisfaction, and Internet use. Part 3, the Vehicle File, contains data relating to each of the household's vehicles, including annualized vehicle miles. Part 4, the Travel Day Trip File, contains data about each trip the person made on the household's randomly assigned travel day. Parts 5 and 6 are weight files for the Household File (Part 1) and the Person File (Part 2), respectively.

title: CBS News Monthly Poll #2, December 1998
title: Version 2

description: This poll, fielded December 16, 1998, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, the economy, and the situation with Iraq. Those queried were also asked for their opinions on the Clinton impeachment inquiry, including how they would like their representative to vote, whether Clinton's actions were serious enough to warrant impeachment, and what the best outcome would be for the country. A series of questions focused on the United States' use of the Air Force to bomb targets in Iraq after Iraq failed to comply with the agreement to allow United Nations weapons inspections. Topics covered whether the United States would ultimately use military force against Iraq, whether getting Saddam Hussein to cooperate was worth the potential loss of American lives, and whether the strikes, if used, should continue until Hussein complied or was removed from office. Respondents were asked for their opinions on the House of Representatives' decision to delay the start of the impeachment debate because of the situation with Iraq, and the timing of Hussein's refusal to comply with the United Nations agreement. Background information on respondents includes age, race, sex, education, political party, political orientation, Hispanic descent, and family income.

title: Health Insurance Coverage Among Working Latinos in California, 2001
title: Version 1

description: To learn why Latinos often lack health insurance in California, this survey interviewed a sample of employed Hispanics in that state. Respondents were interviewed about their health status, health insurance coverage, access to health care, and health care utilization. For insured respondents, the survey measured satisfaction with one's current health plan and collected information on the plan type, length of coverage with the plan, and the plan's co-pays and deductibles. Uninsured respondents were asked why they did not have health insurance, if they had tried to obtain insurance in the past year, how long it was since they last had coverage, whether or not their employer offered health insurance, and what they would expect to pay for it. Additionally, the survey gauged attitudes regarding control of one's fate, acceptability of community and free-care clinics as sources for care, the desirability of getting regular check-ups, and health insurance as a good versus a bad value for the money. Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics collected by the survey include age, sex, household size, educational attainment, religious preference, county of birth, ancestry, citizenship, number of years in the United States, ability to speak English, income, number of jobs held, size of employer (number of employees), length of time at job, industry, occupation, and labor union membership.

description: The sample design aimed to ensure representativeness. Contiguous counties were grouped into units of approximately 20,000 wealth-holders, out of which a representative county was drawn based on the number of wealth-holders in each county. The cases in the sample were then weighted, first to reflect the age distribution of the total population, and then to take into account those individuals who did not have their estates probated.

title: Charleston Heart Study, 1960-2000
title: Version 3

description: The Charleston Heart Study (CHS) represents data collected over a 41-year period (1960-2000) in order to provide an understanding of the natural progression of aging in a community-based cohort. In 1960 the CHS began enrolling a random selection of community residents who were 35 years of age and older -- including men and women, Black and White. The primary hypothesis of the original study was to investigate racial differences in the manifestation and risk factors for coronary disease. Over the ensuing 40+ years, a variety of outcome measurements were incorporated into the re-examination of the participants, including psychosocial, behavioral, aging, and functional measures. As a longitudinal study, the CHS allows for the study of the risk factors, correlates, and consequences of aging, while simultaneously allowing for exploration of racial disparity in the manifestation of putative risk factors and outcomes. The CHS began with baseline data and added a special cohort of Black men. In subsequent years three separate follow-ups were conducted. The data include death information for respondents and background characteristics (age, race, sex, occupation, education, and marital status).
