title: Six-Year Follow-up Study on Career Criminals, 1970-1976: [United States]
title: Archival Version

description: The major objective of the Six-year Follow-up Study on Career Criminals was to provide data describing the effects of sentencing decisions on the behavior of career criminals. A second purpose was to develop programs to target career offenders at the time of sentencing who were likely to commit crimes in the future and incarcerate them accordingly. The data collection includes detailed demographic background and complete prior and follow-up criminal records for each selected offender. There are two types of data sets in the study, the PSI data set based on pre-sentence investigation (PSI) reports, and the Parole data set based on Parole Commission records. The PSI data set describes each offender's demographic background, criminal history, and court entry/exit history. The Parole data set contains information about the offender's background characteristics, prior records of arrests, convictions, dispositions and sentences, and follow-up records for a period of six years. Arrests are described in terms of arrest date, offense charge, disposition, result of sentence, and months incarcerated.

title: Political Power in Boston, Massachusetts and Charleston, South Carolina, 1828-1843
title: Archival Version

description: This study examined public records from two major port cities on the east coast of the United States in order to understand how urban centers functioned in antebellum America. The history, culture, and inhabitants of both cities were examined to compare the mechanisms of urban decision-making as they related to national economic and political circumstances. Demographic information was collected on a broad spectrum of individuals from both cities to gather as complete a picture as possible of those who wielded influence or power in the decisions undertaken in Boston and Charleston in response to the economic conditions of the period from 1828 to 1843. Variables in the dataset include the names of individuals, their gender, marital status, occupation, residence, location of business, birth and death dates, place of birth and nationality, political affiliation, church membership, fire and militia company association, professional, religious and/or philanthropic interests, business and corporate affiliations, property holdings, educational experiences, and political offices served.

title: CBS News Clinton/Ethics Poll, June 1997
title: Archival Version

description: This poll, conducted June 10-11, 1997, 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 of this poll were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, and his handling of the presidency, and other issues such as foreign policy and the economy. A series of questions solicited respondents' opinions about race relations including how respondents felt race relations were in the United States, how respondents felt race relations were in their communities, how they felt race relations would change four years in the future, how important an issue respondents felt race relations were to the future of the United States, and whether they thought race relation issues were within the presidents' control. Other race-related questions addressed whether respondents thought Bill Clinton cared about Black people, respondents' opinion about the degree of progress that has been made with the elimination of racial discrimination, and whether respondents expected to see full equality for Black people in their lifetime. Views were sought on the Paula Jones lawsuit and included questions that addressed whether the lawsuit would interfere with the president's ability to effectively perform his job and the respondents' opinion about the validity of the claims of both President Clinton and Paula Jones. Views were also sought on the death penalty and on the recent conviction of Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. Demographic variables include sex, race, age, marital status, household income, education level, type of residential area (e.g. urban or rural), presence of children and teenagers in the household, political party affiliation, voter participation history and registration status, and political philosophy.

title: Primary Care Judgments of Nurses and Physicians, 1976-1978: Clinical Simulation Test -- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Data
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection contains four files of the Clinical Simulation Test for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, an instrument developed by the Primary Care Judgements of Nurses and Physicians Research Project to empirically assess the clinical judgements of physicians and nurses in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the period 1976-1978. The purpose of the study was to measure the clinical judgments of health professionals in relation to those of a panel of eight national experts in the specific area of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The instrument simulates the clinical processes from presentation of the chief complaint of a 53-year-old Caucasian male with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease through diagnoses and treatment. The Clinical Simulation Test (Part 1) was given to 200 respondents who were divided into six groups: family practice physicians, nurse practitioners with master's degrees, certified nurse practitioners, public health nurses, pre-medical students, and nursing students. The test contains 13 sections and three diagnostic tests. Nine of the test sections required the respondents to choose from a list of possible treatment actions. Four sections were open-ended and required respondents to identify relevant patient data or to list patient problems. During the process, respondents chose appropriate procedures from among a wide range of possible choices. Items also include an evaluation of the test instrument by the respondents, a proficiency scale which is scored by means of a computer program (Part 2), and the responses of 2 panels of experts used for the purpose of test instrument validation (Parts 3 and 4). Demographic items specify age, sex, education, professional preparation, residency program, specialty, position, and disease management experience of respondents. See the related collection, PRIMARY CARE JUDGMENTS OF NURSES AND PHYSICIANS, 1976-1978: CLINICAL SIMULATION TEST -- HYPERTENSION DATA (ICPSR 7732).

title: Land Between the Lakes Recreation Study, 1977
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection is a record of the types and amount of use, including both outdoor recreation and conservation and/or environmental education, which occurred in all four seasons of 1976-1977 at Kentucky's Land Between the Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area (which was administered at that time by the Tennessee Valley Authority). The survey was designed so that estimates of use could be revised annually for a three- to five-year period following the calibration year. The collection consists of two files of data. Part 1 contains data for 6,489 groups/persons who were interviewed with a specific and/or a general survey instrument as their vehicles exited the LBL. Variables measure recreationists' length of stay, types of activities pursued, attitudes and preferences about LBL management, ages, and occupation of the head of household. Part 2 consists of daily vehicle counts obtained by mechanical traffic counters for the entire year-long sampling period. There are 3,585 records representing counts from various exit points for each day of the study.

description: Recreationists exiting Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky.
description: Stratified random sampling, with varying ratio of visitors, based on exiting traffic flow. In Part 1, groups passing through checkpoints were selected systematically in inverse proportion to the amount of traffic exiting the area. Beginning with a randomly selected group, every nth group was interviewed, n being determined by traffic flow. The driver of the vehicle (or head of household) was interviewed using both a general and a specific survey instrument. At the exit checkpoint it was determined if the group had completed its trip and if it had already been interviewed. Only time not accounted for by other surveys and interviews was counted in the survey data. Part 2, the vehicle axle count, was obtained to establish a relationship between use and the traffic-flow pattern.
