title: Political Participation in Five Sections of Milan: Baggio, Barona, Comasina, Forlanini, Perrucchetti, 1964
title: Archival Version

description: This study interviewed residents of five sections of Milan, Italy: Baggio, Barona, Comasina, Forlanini, and Perrucchetti. The five sections were selected according to the following criteria: (1) genesis of the neighborhood (compact municipality, pre-war settlement spurred by industrial development, recent industrial development), (2) type of residential areas (subsidized versus non-subsidized), (3) morphological characteristics of the section (unplanned versus planned development), and (4) degree of efficiency of infrastructures and services (according to their efficiency index). Questions probed respondents' socioeconomic mobility, political awareness, relationships with neighbors, places of origin, and familiarity with Milan and its cultural-political life. In addition, respondents were asked about their knowledge of events in the neighborhood, the types of leisure activities in which they participated there, their family life, and their levels of involvement in political and social activities in their neighborhood. A subsample of 450 respondents were reinterviewed with a second questionnaire that probed more deeply into political and associational participation. Findings of this study were edited by the Lombardi Institute for Economic and Social Studies (Istituto Lombardo per gli Studi Economici e Sociali -- I.L.S.E.S.) in November 1964, and later appeared in Quaderni di Sociologia special issue, July-December 1967, XIV, pp. 3-4.

title: Social Weather Stations Survey [Philippines]: Quarter II, 1995
title: Archival Version

description: The Social Weather Stations Surveys were designed to provide a source of data on Philippine economic and social conditions independent from Philippine governmental statistics. These quarterly surveys cover the entire Philippines with four major geographic study areas: National Capital Region (NCR), Balance Luzon (areas outside of NCR but within Luzon), Visayas, and Mindanao. Adults, aged 18 and older, are asked through face-to-face interviews for their views on issues concerning the general topics of economics, governance, politics, diplomacy, and society, as well as issues of current public interest in the Philippines. The survey also gathers information from household heads about the members of the household and household characteristics. The Social Weather Stations Survey for the second quarter of 1995 was conducted from June 5 to July 1, 1995. Questions on economics issues probed for respondents' feelings about personal encounters with poverty, as well as their views on quality of life trends and taxation and fiscal policies. Questions about governance included ratings of political personalities, the government's ability to fight graft and corruption, presidential and senatorial performance, knowledge of the legal system, appraisal of the justice system, the election process, and former president Ferdinand Marcos. A series of questions about politics asked respondents about their voting behavior history, national unity, and how democracy works. Questions on diplomacy elicited respondents' views on external military threats, foreign relations, national security threats, and the United States' military presence in Asia. Societal topics covered the state of the family, agrarian reform, language, tourism programs, environmental concerns, birth control practices, illegal drug use, and the National Food Authority. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, political party, marital status, employment status, education, household composition, home ownership, health insurance coverage, and household spending patterns.

title: Survey of State Welfare Policymakers, 1996: [United States]
title: Archival Version

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of citizen input into state welfare and Medicaid policymaking during the early to mid-1990s. The survey, which was conducted during October 1996-February 1997, queried 257 state officials (state legislators, social service agency directors, and senior advisors to governors) about the impetus for welfare reform, the methods used to measure public preferences, and the effectiveness of welfare policies. Policymakers were also asked how much input they sought from the general public and which part of state governments took the most active role in initiating the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Medicaid reforms during the 1990s.

title: National Survey of Residential Group Care Facilities for Children and Youth, 1981
title: Archival Version

description: This survey covers facilities for children and youth who are considered to be dependent and neglected, delinquent, emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, in detention or under supervision (status offenders), and/or in need of temporary shelter or emergency care, or in need of services due to pregnancy or use of an illegal substance. The survey was designed to gather information about programs and services that most types of residential care facilities provide, regardless of function, rather than about those specific to a single type of residential care. Information provided about each facility includes the problems, conditions, and patterns of behavior of their residents, the treatment programs for them, and the extent of their participation in community activities. Questionnaires were sent to the directors of all qualifying facilities. Telephone interviews were conducted with those directors who did not respond to the questionnaire.

title: Youth Attitude Tracking Study (YATS) [United States], Fall 1991
title: Archival Version

description: This round of the Youth Attitude Tracking Survey, a series of surveys begun in 1975, investigated youth attitudes towards military enlistment and their perceptions of the military and recruitment marketing activities. In addition, the survey gauged opinions on government and public affairs issues: whether the United States ought to have much more military power than any other nation in the world, whether women in the military should be allowed to volunteer for combat assignments, whether women should be required to register for the draft, and whether the United States should go to war to protect its own economic interests or the rights of other countries. Respondents were queried about current school enrollment status and education level, highest grade completed, type of school and diploma, and plans for college and financing a college education. Other questions asked about current and past employment status, reasons for working, satisfaction with current job, and the employment situation in the respondent's community. Additional background information gathered by the survey includes age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, type of housing, household composition, and parents' education.

After the interviews were completed, the principal investigator decided to drop the panel cases because the enlistment propensities for individuals in the panel were found to be significantly lower than for youth being interviewed for the first time.

title: Union Leaders Study: Chile, 1962
title: Archival Version

description: This study explored the development of union leaders' awareness, interest, and involvement in the union, their objectives for the union and for themselves as leaders, and their participation in other organizations. Respondents were asked about relations between the firms and the unions and between the unions and federations. Questions on union tactics, level of interest, and involvement of other union members and officials were also included. The study sought the respondents' attitudes toward the Chilean labor movement, their opinions of the steps needed to continue the country's social and economic progress, and the roles workers and industries should assume to further national economic progress. Several items probed perceptions of the personality of most Chilean workers. Data were also gathered on the effect the leadership role had on respondents' personal lives and cynicism about other people. Questions were asked about past family involvement in the union, respondents' career plans, and expectations for self and children. Standard demographic information included age, marital status, education, parent's financial status, education, and regional background.
