title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, June 1978
title: Version 1

description: This poll, fielded June 19-23, 1978, 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 to give their opinions of President Jimmy Carter and his handling of the presidency and foreign policy, as well as their views of the United States Congress and the Republican and Democratic parties. Those queried were asked if they approve of the way Jimmy Carter is handling United States relations with the Soviet Union and if they favor or oppose the United States and Russian agreement on limiting nuclear weapons. Respondent's views were also sought on issues such as United States' relations with Russia and Cuba, economic progress in the United States, and California's passage of Proposition 13 -- which reduces that states' property taxes by more than half. Background information on respondents includes age, race, sex, education, religion, political party, political orientation, marital status, voter registration and participation history, Hispanic descent, and family income.

title: New York Times Education Poll, February 1983
title: Version 1

description: This special topic poll, fielded February 7-12, 1983, 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. The focus on this data collection was the quality of public schools. Respondents were asked about the most important problems facing the public schools in their community, the quality of local public school teachers, community spending on public schools, and possible cost-saving measures. Several questions asked about the type of education respondents had received and how it compared to the education children received today, as well as the relevance of the subject matter taught in public schools. Opinions were also sought on proposed ways of maintaining discipline in public schools, including instituting a dress code and physical punishment. Information was also collected on whether respondents had a child who attended a local elementary or high school in the past three years, the type of school their child attended, and whether anyone in the household was employed by the local school system. Respondents were asked about their choice of school for their children if cost were not a factor and whether they favored school vouchers and tuition tax credits for children attending private schools. Demographic variables include sex, race, age, household income, education level, religious background, and whether they had a child under the age of 18.

title: Euro-barometer 2: Problems Facing the European Community, October-November 1974
title: Version 1

description: This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on standard Euro- Barometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Community (EC), and also focused on problems facing the European Community. Respondents were asked to identify the most important and the second most important problems facing their country's government. In addition, they were asked to state how important or unimportant a list of problems were for the European Community: fighting rising prices, establishment of a common European currency, reduction of differences between developed and less developed regions of the Common Market, introduction of standardized educational qualifications, coordination of social policies regarding employment and job training, modernization of European agriculture, protecting consumers against fraud, and implementation of common policies for dealing with issues such as energy supplies, relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, developing scientific research, protecting nature and fighting pollution, and aid to underdeveloped countries. Other questions asked if these problems were best handled through the European Community or by each country individually. Respondents were also asked how well they thought newspapers, radio, and television covered European problems, if membership in the Common Market was a good or bad thing for their country, and which party they would be inclined to support if a general election were held the next day. The data include information on age, gender, nationality, age when finished full-time education, income, occupation (head of household), size of community, and region of residence.

title: Bay Area Health Task Force Small Employers' Health Insurance Helpline Database, 1989-1992
title: Version 1

description: The mission of the Bay Area Health Task Force (BAHTF) was to address the issues and problems of the growing number of people who were uninsured for health care. With the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, BAHTF established the Health Insurance Helpline, which provided health insurance information and referrals for small businesses. This data collection was produced in order to evaluate this Helpline. The data collection consists of four sets of data, one from each year that the Helpline service was offered (1989 through 1992). The unit of analysis is calls received by the Helpline, which were categorized by the type of caller (business, individual, other) and type of service received (broker referral, guidebook only, other). Callers were generally categorized as insured businesses, uninsured businesses, insured individuals, or uninsured individuals. (The category "other" was left for callers who could not be clearly classified as business or individual callers.) A follow-up was conducted for over a quarter of the callers to obtain feedback about the program. Callers provided information concerning their reason for calling, the number of employees they had working full-time, the nature of their business firm, whether the business firm offered health insurance, and which plan they offered.

title: Community Political Systems Study, 1962
title: Version 1

description: This study surveyed leaders and nonleaders in four central cities of independent metropolitan areas of Wisconsin: Madison, Kenosha, Racine, and Green Bay. The interviews were conducted immediately following the April 1962 local elections. A total of 1,364 nonleaders were interviewed: 458 from Racine, 330 from Kenosha, 305 from Green Bay, and 271 from Madison. The numbers of leaders interviewed were 135 in Racine, 120 in Kenosha, 110 in Green Bay, and 124 in Madison. The leaders sample included both formal and informal leaders. Approximately 30 informal leaders were identified and interviewed in each city. Questions covered the respondents' feelings about their communities, length of residence, sources of information about local politics (newspapers, magazines, newscasts), ability to identify local officials, and activism in local politics. The respondents were also asked to identify major problems facing their communities and to assess which groups or individuals were working to solve these problems and which ones were blocking efforts at a solution. Several questions solicited the respondents' evaluations of their local school systems. Respondents were asked which local services they would cut if a budget reduction were necessary and which ones they would like to see improved. Other questions covered the respondents' sense of alienation, efficacy, and civic duty. With respect to state and national politics, respondents were asked to rank national leaders and to indicate whether they voted in state and national elections and for whom they voted. Several variables measured the respondents' economic orientation, international orientation, tolerance, racial attitudes, authoritarianism, and pro-McCarthyism. The respondents were also questioned about party identification and whether this had changed. Information was collected on the respondents' marital status, number of children, age, education, religion, occupation, income, property ownership, race, and the place of birth of parents and grandparents. In addition, the respondent was asked about social contacts, both with people and with organizations.

title: Survey of Health Services Utilization and Expenditures, 1963
title: Version 3

description: This survey is concerned with trends in the use of health services and the expenditures made for these services. One or more members of selected families provided information regarding use of health services, the cost of these services, and how this cost was met for the calendar year 1963. Information on health attitudes and beliefs was also collected for the head of each household (or spouse). In addition, data were gathered from hospitals, employers, and insuring organizations concerning hospitalizations and insurance coverage reported in the family interviews. These data were then combined with family reports to achieve the best possible estimates for hospitalization and health insurance coverage variables. Data are supplied at the individual level and are broken down by age, income, race and residence.

title: Left-Right Survey, 1967-1968
title: Version 1

description: For this study, conducted in 1967-1968, university students in French- and English-speaking areas of Canada, in the United States, and in France were surveyed. Data were obtained from 235 respondents in English-speaking Canada (interviewed at the University of British Columbia), 199 French Canadians (interviewed at the University of Montreal and Laval University), 166 Americans (interviewed at the University of Washington in Seattle), and 166 French students from universities in Paris, Strasbourg, and Lyon. Students were asked to evaluate a variety of terms using a revised form of Osgood's semantic differential. The respondents were thus requested to locate themselves, as well as names of politicians, states, and selected political concepts, in a left-to-right space presented visually as extending from the left side to the right side of the questionnaire page. Also included in the survey instrument were questions on party preference and on specific political, social, economic, and religious problems. Demographic variables cover sex, age, religion, and father's occupation.

title: German Pre- and Post-Election Study, 1969
title: Version 1

description: This study was conducted in two waves, before and after the election carried out in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1969. The pre-election interview examined in detail the respondents' interest in politics and their sources of political information. The questionnaire also included an inquiry into the major problems facing Germany and the ability of the principal parties to deal with these issues. A number of measures were used to evaluate the political parties, including a series of semantic differential items. Open-ended questions assessed the competence and personal appeal of various politicians. Considerable attention was devoted to the issue orientation of voters, dealing with topics such as the reevaluation of the German mark, recognition of the German Democratic Republic, codetermination, radicalism in the Federal Republic, and other foreign and domestic policy topics. The respondents' voting patterns in the 1965 election and their anticipated behavior in the 1969 election were also ascertained, as well as their expectations about the election outcome. The post-election interview dealt with the respondents' actual voting behavior. Additional information was gathered on the long-term voting history of the respondents and their fathers. Variables probed attitudes toward the new government coalition and perceptions of the tasks ahead for the government. Questions tapping the respondents' evaluations of the political parties and candidates were repeated from the first wave, as well as the items assessing the major problems facing the republic. An additional component of the dataset consists of 1970 Census data for each respondent's community, merged with the respective respondent's survey data. These aggregate environmental variables describe the community in terms of marital status, religion, employment status, and industry of employment. Demographic data for the individual respondent cover age, sex, marital status, occupation, and income.
