title: Food Service Delivery Systems Used in Providing Nutrition Services to the Elderly
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection contains information gathered from January through April 1981 on nutrition projects serving the elderly in the United States. The sample represents nutrition projects funded through Title IIIC of the Older Americans Act of 1965. This sample, which was stratified according to the rural or urban character of the project and its predominant delivery system (a total of 10 categories), represented approximately 10 percent of all nutrition projects in operation at the time. The specific objectives of the study were (1) to develop reliable descriptive information with respect to cost, nutritional quality, and microbiological content of the meals, (2) to analyze cost, nutritional, microbiological, and environmental data, in order to determine the range of costs and the factors that influenced total cost per meal, costs of various elements of nutrition service (e.g., labor costs, administrative and service costs, and building and equipment costs), and the costs of meal functions (e.g., meal preparation, meal delivery to congregate sites, congregate service or home-delivery, and supportive activities), and (3) to develop conclusions regarding the relative advantages and disadvantages of each meal service delivery system in different settings, to describe the implications of these conclusions for Administration on Aging program policy, and to suggest criteria by which providers might choose the most appropriate delivery systems for their projects. Data include project characteristics, sample site characteristics, meals served, number of meals served and prepared during the two-day test period, participant/visitor contributions during test period, background information on delivery systems, project-level labor and administrative costs, meal site labor and administrative costs, central kitchen labor and administrative costs, and capital expenses.

description: Data are presented for 121 nutrition projects (cases). However, there are 11 cases with incomplete records (case numbers 002, 028, 033, 038, 040, 052, 066, 067, 069, 095, and 110), one case with a duplicate record (067), and one missing case (058). Thus, there are complete records for only 108 cases. Complete cases have 88 data records.

title: Alternative Probation Strategies in Baltimore, Maryland
title: Archival Version

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of supervised probation, unsupervised probation, and community service. Data were collected from several sources: input-intake forms used by the State of Maryland, probation officers' case record files, Maryland state police rap sheets, FBI sources, and interviews with Maryland probationers. Non-violent, less serious offenders who normally received probation sentences of 12 months or less were offered randomly selected assignments to one of three treatment methods over a five-month period. Baseline data for probationers in each of the three samples were drawn from an intake form that was routinely completed for cases. An interim assessment of recidivism was made at the midpoint of the intervention for each probationer using information drawn from police records. Probationers were interviewed six and twelve months after probation ended. Demographic information on the probationers includes sex, race, age, birthplace, marital status, employment status, and education.

title: Learning Deficiencies Among Adult Inmates, 1982: Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington
title: Archival Version

description: The National Institute of Justice sponsored this study of 1,065 prison inmates in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Respondents were administered an academic achievement test, the Tests of Adult Basic Education, and an individual intelligence test, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Other screening tests were also given to certain respondents, including the Mann-Suiter Disabilities Screening Test and the Adaptive Behavior Checklist. Data for each inmate includes offenses committed, prior institutionalization, juvenile adjudication, years of formal education, academic and vocational participation while incarcerated, previous diagnoses, childhood home situation, death of parents, number of siblings, and any childhood problems. Information on demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, race, employment history, and physical condition, is available for each respondent.

title: Geographic Names Information System: National Geographic Names Data Base, Michigan Geographic Names
title: Archival Version

description: The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to meet major national needs regarding geographic names and their standardization and dissemination. This dataset consists of standard report files written from the National Geographic Names Data Base, one of five data bases maintained in the GNIS. A standard format data file containing Michigan place names and geographic features such as towns, schools, reservoirs, parks, streams, valleys, springs and ridges is accompanied by a file that provides a Cross-Reference to USGS 7.5 x 7.5 minute quadrangle maps for each feature. The records in the data files are organized alphabetically by place or feature name. The other variables available in the dataset include: Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) state/county codes, Geographic Coordinates -- latitude and longitude to degrees, minutes, and seconds followed by a single digit alpha directional character, and a GNIS Map Code that can be used with the Cross-Reference file to provide the name of the 7.5 x 7.5 minute quadrangle map that contains that geographic feature.

title: State-Level Data on Limited Liability Companies (LLC), United States, 2004-2009
title: Archival Version

description: The limited liability company (LLC) is much more popular a business entity in some states than in others. The potential explanations of this phenomenon was explored using a partly original set of cross-sectional state-level data. The dataset contains business entity filing statistics, data on formation fees, annual report fees, and franchise taxes for LLCs and business corporations, and data on particular features of state LLC statutes. It was found that formation fees, not taxes or substantive rules or anything else, explain the variation in LLC popularity best. The study that is based on the dataset, titled "For a Few Dollars Less: Explaining State-to-State Variation in Limited Liability Company Popularity," is not published yet.
