title: Americans' Changing Lives: Waves I and II, 1986 and 1989
title: Archival Version

description: This study is part of a larger research program designed to investigate (1) the ways in which a wide range of activities and social relationships that people engage in are broadly "productive," (2) how individuals adapt to acute life events and chronic stresses that threaten the maintenance of health, effective functioning, and productive activity, and (3) sociocultural variations in the nature, meaning, determinants, and consequences of productive activity and relationships. Focusing especially on differences between Black and white Americans in middle and late life, these data constitute both the first and second waves in a national longitudinal panel survey covering a wide range of sociological, psychological, mental, and physical health items. Among the topics covered are interpersonal relationships (spouse/partner, children, parents, friends), sources and levels of satisfaction, social interactions and leisure activities, traumatic life events (physical assault, serious illness, divorce, death of a loved one, financial or legal problems), perceptions of retirement, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, rest), and utilization of health care (doctor visits, hospitalization, nursing home institutionalization, bed days). Also included are measures of physical health, psychological well-being, and indices referring to cognitive functioning. Background information provided for individuals includes household composition, number of children and grandchildren, employment status, occupation and work history, income, family financial situation, religious beliefs and practices, ethnicity, race, education, sex, and region of residence.
description: This data collection incorporates data from the first wave of this survey (AMERICANS' CHANGING LIVES: WAVE I, 1986 [ICPSR 9267]) (ACLI), with data from a second wave carried out in 1989. Slight changes have been made in some Wave I variables in this updated version of the data. These changes were made primarily to take into account new information that was obtained during the second wave of interviewing. Past users of ACLI should compare this new version of the ACLI variables with the earlier version, to check for possible changes in variable distributions before proceeding with analyses involving ACLI variables.
description: For Wave I, a multistage stratified area probability sample with oversampling of Blacks and those 60 years of age and over was used. For Wave II, an attempt was made to contact all the respondents from Wave I (N = 3,617). The cases responding to Wave II numbered 2,867.

title: International Social Survey Program: Social Inequality, 1992
title: Archival Version

description: The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of crossnational collaboration. Formed in 1983, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This collection, the second module on social inequality (see INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SURVEY PROGRAM: SOCIAL INEQUALITY, 1987 [ICPSR 9383]), contains data from Australia, Germany (West and East), Great Britain, the United States, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines. Questions asked of respondents focused on equality of income, wealth, and opportunity. Respondents were asked for their perceptions of the extent of present inequality, explanations for inequality, and support for government programs to reduce inequality. Demographic data on respondents such as age, sex, employment, income, marital status, education, religion, political affiliation, and trade union membership also are provided.

title: Version 1

description: This collection contains data from eight surveys concerning social trends within Germany. The surveys in 1991 and 1992 interviewed respondents throughout Germany, while the preceding surveys were restricted to West Germany and West Berlin.

title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, December 1995
title: Version 1

description: This poll 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 for their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, and the economy, as well as their opinions of Bob Dole, Lamar Alexander, Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes, Phil Gramm, and Ross Perot. Those queried were also asked to rate the economy and to provide their opinions on the Bosnia situation -- specifically, whether the United States should send ground troops to Bosnia in a variety of situations. Other topics covered Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, tax cuts, and the federal budget debate. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, and family income.

title: Australian [Adelaide] Longitudinal Study of Aging, Waves 1-5 [1992-1997]
title: Version 1

description: The general purpose of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ALSA) is to gain further understanding of how social, biomedical, and environmental factors are associated with age-related changes in the health and well-being of persons aged 70 years and older. Emphasis is given to the effects of social and economic factors on morbidity, disability, acute and long-term care service use, and mortality. The aim is to analyze the complex relationships between individual and social factors and changes in health status, health care needs, and service utilization dimensions. Components of Wave 1 (1992-1993) (Part 1) included a comprehensive personal interview conducted via the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) system, a home-based assessment of physiological functions, self-completed questionnaires, and additional clinical studies. Wave 2 (1993-1994), Wave 3 (1994-1995), Wave 4 (1995-1996), and Wave 5 (1996-1997) (Parts 2, 7, 8, and 10, respectively) included questions regarding changes in domicile, current health and functional status, new morbidity conditions, changes in medication, major life events, general life satisfaction, and changes in economic circumstances. For Wave 3 Clinical Data (Part 9) information about the health histories of the respondents was elicited, including information on medication, blood pressure, and physical and mental disabilities.
