title: Census of Governments, 1997: Government Organization
title: Version 1

description: The United States Census Bureau conducts a Census of Governments every five years -- in years ending in "2" or "7" -- to collect information about governments in the United States. The Government Organization branch of the 1997 Census of Governments describes the organization and activities of local governments. The 1997 Local Government Directory Survey covered all county, municipal, town or township, school district, special district governments, school systems, and education service agencies that met the Census Bureau criteria for independent governments. The counts of local governments reflect those in operation in June 1997. This collection includes eight parts, each including information regarding a different type of government: (1) county governments, (2) municipal governments, (3) township governments, (4) special district governments, (5) school district governments, (6) state dependent school systems, (7) local dependent school systems, and (8) education service agencies. The data include information on various codes used to identify the government unit, government name, population in 1996 (or enrollment in 1996 for data collected from schools), and government functions.
description: Census statistics on governments are designed to account for the totality of public sector activity without omission or duplication.
description: There are no weight variables included in this collection.

title: Washington, DC, Representatives: Private Interests in National Policymaking, 1982-1983
title: Version 2

description: This study was undertaken to research systematically the process through which private and governmental actors in United States federal policy systems make decisions. A primary focus was the ways in which individual private representatives of interest groups in Washington, DC, interact with the agencies of the federal government. The data are drawn from interviews conducted in 1983-1984 with samples of two distinct populations: Washington representatives, and American Bar Foundation client organizations that employ Washington representatives. The scope of the inquiry was narrowed to four particular policy domains: agriculture, energy, health, and labor. Each domain was operationally defined by a list of specific policy concerns. Questions were structured around specific policy proposals acted upon by Congress in 1979-1982: 22 in agriculture, 13 in energy, 22 in health, and 22 in labor. Respondents were asked to rate the importance of various information sources, and to give their positions on general social and political issues. Background data collected on respondents included participation in electoral politics, political party membership, religious preference, nationality, age, tenure in Washington, race, sex, and parents' occupation and political party affiliations.

The sources were: newspapers and magazines published from January 1977 to June 1982, hearings held by committees and subcommittees during the first session of the 95th through 97th Congresses, government officials in Congress and executive agencies, and the 1981 edition of the annual report "Washington Representatives".
description: The investigators followed a sequential sampling design that identified approximately 400 organizations and 1,600 of their representatives. The representatives interviewed do not constitute a simple random sample, but were oversampled for more active organizations and representatives. Selection methods may have resulted in a slight bias in the composition of the sample, underenumerating internal representatives (organizational employees).

title: Minnesota New Firm Survey, 1986
title: Version 1

description: The objective of this project was to develop a description of new firms recently established in terms of their current situations, growth records, and character of their start-up teams. The data represent a sample of active new firms, started independently, that cover all regions and industries of a typical state. Respondents provided information concerning the income generated by their products and their reasons for starting up a business in that particular area. Also, respondents were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with respect to taxes, availability of skilled labor and capital, and accessibility to supplies and customers, and to indicate the importance of these factors to their businesses. Additional questions called for respondents to compare the current status of their firms to when the firms first started up, in areas such as the amount of money they received in loans, type of loans acquired, private and public stock decisions, and the percent of the ownership retained by the founders. The respondents also addressed the focus of management, as well as how they viewed their competitors' focus. In addition, survey participants were given an opportunity to make their own comments, which also appear in the data.

title: Negro Political Attitudes, 1964
title: Version 1

description: This study is part of the University of California's Five-Year Study of anti-Semitism in the United States. As a result of the outbreak of Black rioting during the summer of 1964, it was decided to expand the proposed Black subsample of the national sample to a larger Black oversample in order to study the climate of opinion in the Black American community. These Black respondents were selected by drawing five samples: one general metropolitan sample and four urban samples from Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Birmingham. Questions were asked about the respondents' present economic and social positions as well as the economic and social conditions in their childhood. Respondents' opinions on civil rights issues as well as attitudes toward authority and treatment of Blacks in the existing system were investigated. A section of the questionnaire was devoted to the respondents' attitudes toward Jews and other groups.

title: Version 1

description: The data consist of a national cross-section of the electorate in England, Scotland, and Wales who were first interviewed in 1969 (1,114 respondents). Of these, 792 were reinterviewed in 1970, and 1,093 new respondents were added to the 1969-1970 panel to create a representative electorate sample for the second wave. Questions were asked about political interest, involvement in political activities, and mass media usage as a political news source. Opinions on a large number of political issues were also ascertained, as well as evaluations of the political parties and candidates using several dimensions and methods of assessment.

title: Afrobarometer: Round I Survey of Namibia, September-October 1999
title: Version 1

description: The Afrobarometer project assesses attitudes toward democracy, markets, and civil society in several sub-Saharan African nations. This survey of Namibia recorded Namibian citizens' opinions about recent political and economic changes within their country. Respondents were asked to compare the effectiveness and trustworthiness of the independent democratic government to the previous government of South Africa. Those polled were asked to rate Namibian President Nujoma and his administration's overall performance, and to give their opinions on the most important issue facing the nation, the role of the government in improving the economy, whether corruption existed in local and national government, whether government officials were responsive to problems of the general population, and whether local government officials, the police, the army, the courts, the media, the electoral commission, and the Namibia broadcasting corporation could be trusted. Respondents were queried on their knowledge of government officials, their level of personal involvement in political, governmental, and community affairs, the inclusiveness of the government, and what their reactions would be to government-imposed restrictions or prohibitions on the media, the judicial system, and Parliament. Economic questions addressed the past, present, and future of the country's and the respondent's economic condition, whether great income disparities are fair, and whether encouraging people to start small businesses would create more jobs. Societal questions addressed how much trust could be placed in others, whether it is wise to plan ahead, whether everyone should be responsible for themselves and their own success or failure, what characteristics respondents use to identify themselves, whether it is easy to obtain assistance in securing food, water, schooling, and medical services, and by what methods respondents secured food, water, news, information, and medical services. Background variables include age, language spoken most at home, education, current employment status, employment status over the last 12 months, employment history, family financial situation over the last 12 months, monetary support system, whether a close friend or relative had died from AIDS, language used in interview, sex, ethnicity, whether respondent had a physical disability and if so the type, type of housing, location of interview (inside, outside, or both), and respondent's attitude during interview.

title: Danish 1905 Cohort Study, 1998
title: Version 2

description: This data collection provides information on individuals born in Denmark in 1905 and who were still living in Denmark in 1998. The overall goal of the study was to establish a genetic-epidemiological database to shed light on the aging process among the extremely old. The data focus on their physical and cognitive functioning. Respondents were asked if they had been previously diagnosed with diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, asthma, migraine, cancer, stroke, heart attack, or depression, and if they were experiencing such ailments as cough, body pains, and bone fracture and were taking medication for them. Questions probed respondents' feelings about their health, life, and future. To assess respondents' general health and functioning, they were asked if they needed assistance with toileting, bathing, dressing, and mobility around the house; how often they needed to use the bathroom during the night; and if they used physical aids such as wheelchairs, eyeglasses, crutches, catheters, or diapers. They were also tested for memory and cognition, mobility, vision, speech, hearing, and lung functioning. Information was also elicited on respondents' mental state and awareness, energy level, menopause, frequency of visits with children and family, visits from a nurse, use of home care services, sleeping patterns, smoking and drinking habits, weight gain or loss, exercises, social activities, hobbies, reading habits, television viewing, and recent deaths in the family. Demographic information includes age, education, and marital status.

title: Life-Integrity Violation Analysis and Democracy in 145 Countries and Regions, 1980-1987
title: Version 1

description: These data were collected to assess the level of life-integrity rights in various countries and regions of the world. The concept of life integrity is based on six related claims: the right to life, the right to bodily inviolability, the right to security from arbitrary punishment, seizure, and detention, the right to own one's body and labor, the right to free movement without discrimination, and the right to marry and form a family. Information was obtained for 145 countries and occupied regions by using the Life-Integrity Violation Analysis (LIVA) form. Scores were then assigned for each country with respect to life-integrity violation, economic development, and ethnic discrimination. The study also assessed the status of political rights, civil liberties, and individual freedom. Other variables pertain to the proportion of national income that went to the top quintile, the GINI coefficient for income, and whether the area was an occupied territory or was in the midst of an internal war.
