title: Subjective Vulnerability: The Role of Disempowerment in the Utilization of Mediation Services by Women in a Northeastern Town of the United States, 1989-1990
title: Archival Version

description: This collection investigates gender differences as they relate to interpersonal conflict and feelings of vulnerability that arise in the conflict process. In Phase 1 of the study, 52 female and 48 male clients of a neighborhood mediation center were assessed on the number and kinds of strategies they utilized in dealing with conflicts before they consulted the mediation center, their feelings about the services rendered, the concerns, fears, and other affective states experienced in relation to their disputes, their feelings about the outcomes, to what they attributed success or failure, and how they felt gender had affected the conflicts. Phase 2 of the study was implemented as a follow-up to determine the generalizability of the findings of Phase 1. Respondents from the same geographic area in which the subjects in Phase 1 were drawn were assessed on three areas of concern in relation to a hypothetical conflict: feelings of vulnerability, aspects of mediation that seemed desirable to them, and concerns they might have if they were to use mediation services.

title: Medicare+Choice Survey, 2000: [United States]
title: Archival Version

description: This survey is one component of the Monitoring Medicare+Choice Project, a national study designed to provide information on health insurance decisions made by Medicare beneficiaries. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the project examined how Medicare beneficiaries responded to the implementation of the Medicare+Choice provisions of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Among their multiple objectives, the Medicare+Choice provisions sought to expand substantially the types of coverage choices available to Medicare beneficiaries and to encourage beneficiaries to think more actively about these choices. The Medicare+Choice Survey interviewed a sample of Medicare beneficiaries about their basic knowledge of Medicare, current Medicare coverage options, sources of supplemental insurance coverage, satisfaction with current coverage, reasons for the most recent change in Medicare coverage or lack of change since September 15, 1999, sources of information used to make their coverage choices, and salience of the choice and its most relevant considerations. Additional information collected by the survey included the respondent's health and functional status, age, sex, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, education, reading ability, household income and the number of people supported by that income, and language spoken at home.

title: Evaluation of the Adolescent Portable Therapy (APT) Program [New York City], 2001-2004
title: Archival Version

description: This study contains data collected for an evaluation of the Adolescent Portable Therapy (APT) Program, which provided family-based drug treatment services to adolescents involved with the New York City juvenile justice system on charges of Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) or delinquency. The program aimed to improve five core areas of the young peoples' lives: substance use, mental health, schooling, family functioning, and recidivism. Recruitment for the study occurred at juvenile detention facilities in New York City. Intake staff conducted screening interviews with the detainees. Those who reported using substances at least 30 times in the previous 30 days, or who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition (DSM IV) criteria for substance abuse or dependence were eligible for selection. After the respondents and their families consented to participate, the respondents were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The treatment group went on to receive services from APT, while control group subjects received no APT services but had access to all other standard facilities and community based services. The evaluation participants were interviewed at four time points: at intake into the study in the juvenile detention facilities (baseline), three months after release from detention (T1), nine months after release from detention (T2), and 15 months after release from detention (T3). Whenever subjects were interviewed outside of a detention facility for T1, T2, and T3, study staff attempted to collect urine samples which were tested for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and opiates. Topics covered by the interviews included substance use and treatment, physical health, risk behaviors and disease prevention, mental and emotional health, living situation and environment, crime and legal issues, school, work, income, and demographic characteristics.

Smallest Geographic Unit: New York City
description: Altogether, 492 adolescents were recruited into the study, of which 247 were assigned to the treatment group and 245 were in the control group. However, baseline data were secured for only 478 cases (360 males and 118 females) because 14 questionnaires were misplaced or destroyed before they were electronically processed. At least one follow-up interview was completed with 234 of the participants: 168 were interviewed at T1, 139 at T2, and 81 at T3. Urinalysis results were obtained for 22 subjects at T1, 23 at T2, and 20 at T3.

title: New Homes and Poor People, 1966-1967
title: Archival Version

description: This study focused on the indirect consequences of new housing construction by examining the sequences of moves triggered by first-time occupancies of new homes. In particular, the investigation attempted to ascertain whether the construction of new, relatively expensive housing might indirectly benefit low-income people or African Americans who could not afford to purchase these new houses but would be able to move into vacancies created farther along the chain. Interviews were first conducted with a representative sample of first-time inhabitants of newly-built homes, and then with the families that moved into the dwellings left vacant. Wherever possible, each chain of moves was followed to its logical conclusion. Demographic information includes age, sex, and education of family head, race of respondent, family life cycle, and family income.

title: Consumer Durables and Installment Debt: A Study of American Households, 1967-1970
title: Archival Version

description: This four-year panel study investigated two interrelated aspects of consumer behavior: expenditures on major consumer durable goods and the use of installment credit. Over the course of four years, the study examined trends in these two important characteristics of households, factors underlying these trends, and elements that could alter their relationships. In each of the four panel interviews, detailed questions were asked regarding the family income, purchases of durables, and level of financial debt. The extent of the family's holdings of financial assets including houses, amounts in savings and checking accounts, value of stocks and bonds, etc., was also ascertained. Information was collected on stocks of consumer durables owned at the time of the first interview, and initial stocks of automobiles and subsequent changes in them. Extensive data were gathered on attitudes toward the use of various financial instruments (particularly installment debt), the level of the family's satisfaction with its current assets, and the family's subjective analysis of its past financial progress and future prospects. A total of 1,434 families completed all four interviews. The four-year merged data are available in two versions: Part 1 contains all the family data including information on the first car, usually the newest, owned at the time of each interview. Part 2 comprises all of the variables in Part 1, as well as approximately 400 additional variables that provide information about each car (up to three) owned by panel families at the time of each interview during the four-year period.

title: Effects of Preferred Provider Organizations on Health Care Use and Costs: Pooled Cross-Sectional Time Series, First Quarter 1988 Through First Quarter 1990
title: Archival Version

description: This research project studied the effects of Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) on health care use and costs in comparison with indemnity health care plans and indemnity plans with utilization review (UR). The data cover nine quarters of a single insurer's claims experience with these types of health care plans. The unit of observation is the employer group covered by a given plan. Variables describing claims experience include number of claims, reimbursed costs after copayments and deductibles, hospital expenditures, number of hospital admissions, percent of claims in different diagnostic categories (surgery, tumors, births, and mental health), and number of tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy and colonoscopy cases. Reported characteristics of these groups include coinsurance rates, plan type, industry of employer, group mean age, percent of covered lives with dental or prescription drug coverage, and percent of covered lives that were women or dependents. In addition, the data contain variables describing the market in which each group was located, such as number of hospital beds in the city or county, number of hospitals and health maintenance organizations in the metropolitan statistical area, median rental cost for housing units in the city or county, percent of county or city that was Black or age 65 or older, number of nonfederal physicians in the county, and number of PPOs in the state.

title: Archival Version

description: This poll conducted February 24-28, 2005, is part of a continuing series of monthly polls that solicit opinions on the presidency and on other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to assess the performance of United States President George W. Bush relative to the issues concerning national economy, the conflict in Iraq, North Korea, Iran, education, the national deficit, health care, terrorism, taxes, and international affairs. Respondents were further asked to proffer the most important issue facing the country, the priorities of the administration related to domestic issues, the most important foreign policy issue, and the foreign policy priorities of the administration. Additional queries were of respondents' views on same sex unions, abortion, social security, prescription drug costs, and whether the country was headed in the right direction. Multiple questions addressed various issues surrounding Social Security, retirement, health care, and Medicare. One such question was whether Medicare should cover or pay for erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra. Respondents were asked for their opinions on the conflict in Iraq, the possible threat of North Korea, and the possibility or probability of Iran building nuclear weapons and how that would affect the United States. Additional questions asked respondents to describe their experiences with the health care system and health care professionals. Background information includes age, education, ethnicity, frequency of religious participation, household income, the last year the respondent voted, marital status, number of children in the household, political ideology, political party affiliation, race, religious affiliation, voter registration status, whether the respondent considered herself or himself an evangelical, and whether the respondent voted in the 2004 United States presidential election, and if yes, for whom.
