title: Cleveland Study of the Elderly: a Follow-Up, 1984-1988
title: Version 1

description: This follow-up survey, funded under two separate grants from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), reinterviewed survivors of STUDY OF THE WELL-BEING OF OLDER PEOPLE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, 1975-1976 (ICPSR 7773). The first part of the project, "Cleveland GAO Study of the Elderly: A Follow-Up", was conducted from 1983 to 1986, and reinterviewed survivors (n = 647) of the original 1975 sample (n = 1,834) to determine the impact of gender on the quality of life for elders, along with stability and change in measures of mental health. During 1984, a subset of the interview subjects were visited at their homes to validate self-reported impairment and disability. These data are presented in Part 1, Cleveland GAO Study of the Elderly: A Follow-Up, 1984 Data for Survivors of 1975 Sample. The second phase of the project, "Cleveland Elderly 12 Years Later," describes changes in disease, disability, and mortality since 1975 and attempted to determine if differences were related to changes in social support, use of health services, or economic status. The study also sought to assess levels of social, economic, mental, and physical well-being reported by respondents, and examined daily activities, the use and quality of services, and the characteristics of service providers. The "Cleveland Elderly 12 Years Later" data were collected in 1987 and again in 1988. Data collected in 1987 consist of interviews with survivors of the original 1975 sample (Part 2) along with interviews from an additional sample drawn from the 1977 Medicare rolls (Part 3). During 1988, interviews were again conducted with survivors of the original 1975 sample (Part 4) and survivors of the Medicare sample (Part 5). Data collected in 1984, 1987, and 1988 for survivors of the 1975 sample may be merged with the original data collected in 1975-1976 using the ID number.

title: Afrobarometer: Round II Survey of Lesotho, 2003
title: Version 1

description: The Afrobarometer project assesses attitudes toward democracy, markets, and civil society in several sub-Saharan African nations. This survey of Lesotho recorded Lesotho citizens' opinions about recent political and economic changes within their country. Respondents were asked about their current satisfaction with economic conditions in Lesotho, how they currently obtained food to eat, what resources they relied on for safety, and how they obtained health care. They were also asked how often in the last 12 months they or their family had gone without food, felt unsafe in terms of crime, gone without medicine, or gone without shelter. Their opinions were elicited on how they compare the past and present in terms of job opportunities, the gap between rich and poor, and the availability of goods, as well as people's living standards. Respondents were also asked how often they obtained news from such sources as radio, television, or newspapers and how closely they followed what was going on in government and public affairs. Other questions involved the respondent's preference for a market- or government-run economy, free schooling versus user fees, privatized agriculture marketing versus government control and more jobs with low wages versus fewer jobs with high wages. Respondents were asked to rate the way the country was handling creating jobs, keeping prices stable, managing the economy, fighting corruption, addressing educational needs, and combating diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. They were also asked if they trusted the prime minister, the National Assembly, the Independent Electoral Commissions, the army, and other governmental and nongovernmental institutions. Demographic information was elicited from respondents, including age, language spoken, education, and employment status.

title: General Social Survey of the European USSR, April-May 1991
title: Version 1

description: This study of the European Soviet Union (European Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Moldavia, and Lithuania), conducted in the months preceding the coup against Mikhail Gorbachev and the breakup of the Soviet Union, was an attempt to gather residents' opinions on aspects of social structure, social stratification, and distributive justice. Respondents were asked to comment on migration, participation in political activities, membership in organizations, use of mass media, judgments about material well-being, confidence in institutions, interest in politics, and attitudes toward the role of women. They also provided information on topics such as smoking, drinking, and religious observances. Demographic variables included in the data cover work history, education, ethnicity, language, military service, household income, and expenditures. The study also measures respondents' attitudes toward a wide variety of products, both Soviet-made and imported, in terms of the actual price of such products and the ideal price according to the respondent.

title: Dynamics of Change in the Criminal Case Plea Bargaining System: New York City, 1800-1890
title: Version 1

description: This study analyzes the ascendancy of a single form of dispute processing--the guilty plea--in New York City's principal indictment court, and its connection to law enforcement, judges, and lawyers. A major component of the study is a statistical analysis of data presented in the Minute Book of Court of General Sessions and maintained at the New York City Archives. A second data source is the New York City district attorney's case files, also maintained at the New York City Archives. Part 1, District Attorney Case File Data, contains a sample of cases throughout the century taken from the district attorney's files. Variables cover charge filed, method of arrest, nature of testimony, presence of the lawyers, role of police, private prosecutor, and magistrate, and demographic information about the defendant and victim. Part 2, Lawyer Data, records the frequency of the appearance of individual lawyers, the charges in the cases in which they appeared, the lawyering activities they undertook, and the method of case disposition. Part 3, Minute Book Data, reflects the workday of the Court of General Sessions, including the number of cases processed in court on any given day, the number of defendants tried, the details of charges, joinder, witness examinations, outcome and sentence, and the number pleading guilty. Part 4, Cases Tried Data, not only records cases tried but also includes the top count, legal representation, result, and sentence, and for cases pleading guilty contains the top count charged, top count accepted, and sentence imposed. District Attorney Reference Data, Part 5, contains cases in which copies of the district attorney's papers were not found. These cases occurred on the same day as cases for which copies of the district attorney's papers were recorded. This data served as a control group for the District Attorney Case File Data.

title: Census of Governments, 1992: Government Organization
title: Version 1

description: The United States Census Bureau conducts a Census of Governments every five years -- in years ending in "2" or "7" -- to collect information about governments in the United States. The Government Organization branch of the 1992 Census of Governments describes the organization and activities of local governments. The 1992 Local Government Directory Survey covered all county, municipal, town or township, school district, and special district governments that met the Census Bureau criteria for independent governments. The counts of local governments reflect those in operation on January 1, 1992. This collection includes three parts, each including information regarding a different type of government: (1) general purpose governments, (2) special district governments, and (3) school district governments (including dependent school systems but not Education Service Agencies). The data include information on various codes used to identify the government unit, its name, population in 1990, types of public services provided, or functions of special districts, political organization of general purpose governments as well as a detailed accounting of race and gender of elected and appointed officials. Special districts data provide information on area served, revenue powers, and functions, in addition to detailing race and gender counts of governing body members. School data provides enrollment information, number of schools, educational levels, area served, and a detailed accounting of race and gender of elected and appointed officials.
