Pursuant to Local Laws 126, 127, and 128 of 2016, certain demographic data is collected voluntarily and anonymously by persons voluntarily seeking social services. This data can be used by agencies and the public to better understand the demographic makeup of client populations and to better understand and serve residents of all backgrounds and identities. The data presented here has been collected through either electronic form or paper surveys offered at the point of application for services. These surveys are anonymous. Each record represents an anonymized demographic profile of an individual applicant for social services, disaggregated by response option, agency, and program. Response options include information regarding ancestry, race, primary and secondary languages, English proficiency, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Idiosyncrasies or Limitations: Note that while the dataset contains the total number of individuals who have identified their ancestry or languages spoke, because such data is collected anonymously, there may be instances of a single individual completing multiple voluntary surveys. Additionally, the survey being both voluntary and anonymous has advantages as well as disadvantages: it increases the likelihood of full and honest answers, but since it is not connected to the individual case, it does not directly inform delivery of services to the applicant. The paper and online versions of the survey ask the same questions but free-form text is handled differently. Free-form text fields are expected to be entered in English although the form is available in several languages. Surveys are presented in 11 languages. Paper Surveys 1. Are optional 2. Survey taker is expected to specify agency that provides service 2. Survey taker can skip or elect not to answer questions 3. Invalid/unreadable data may be entered for survey date or date may be skipped 4. OCRing of free-form tet fields may fail. 5. Analytical value of free-form text answers is unclear Online Survey 1. Are optional 2. Agency is defaulted based on the URL 3. Some questions must be answered 4. Date of survey is automated

The RECOVER Consortium developed a web-based interactive educational website and application to effectively disseminate oil spill science and research to students – ranging from elementary to collegiate levels – and the general public. The RECOVER Virtual Lab application allows users to conduct virtual experiments on the impacts of oil on fish physiology, similar to those of RECOVER researchers. By using the Virtual Lab, students, teachers and the general public are able to understand the real-world applications of data, experimental designs, and results generated by RECOVER researchers. Both Virtual Lab lessons utilize data produced by GoMRI scientists which are made available to students and the public to expand the reach of the oil spill science to individuals that may not otherwise have access to oil spill science and data. At the end of each lesson, students complete a demographic questionnaire and answer content-based questions through quizzes developed in Google Forms. From this data, the Virtual Lab has been used within 30 different states and 2 international countries, with a total usership of over 1,000 students.

This survey aims at collecting data on private forest owners’ adaptation to climate change throughout Canada. It was divided in six sections: general information on the respondents’ woodlots, past changes in their forest management since 2010, opinions and knowledge on climate change, potential (intended) adaptation of their forest practices to climate change, relationship to the world of forestry in the context of climate change, and socio-demographic questions. We chose the 2010-2022 time span considering the duration of private forests’ management plans, the turnover rate of silvicultural operations in even-aged stands, and individual climate memory. The questionnaire was made of 33 questions, first formulated in French, then translated into English. A pilot test conducted on a sample of 14 individuals in June and July 2021 led to minor revisions, and the survey was made available from January, 10 to May, 22 2022. We employed a 7-point Likert scale to measure respondents’ attitudes and opinions throughout the questionnaire. A 7-point scale has been shown to allow for a greater variability of the responses over scales with fewer points, thus leading to a more accurate measure of a respondent’s true views than a 5-point item scale, especially in online-distributed questionnaires (Finstad 2010). Each part of the questionnaire finished with a free comment section to express additional viewpoints or details to previous answers. Respondents were first asked to read an introduction describing the goal, structure and origin of the questionnaire and to provide their consent to partake in the survey. Prior to answering the first questions, they were verified as Canadian non-industrial private forest owners through a self-report of the provinces or territories on which their forests are located. The survey took approximately 25 min to complete. To avoid dropout problems and encourage participation, respondents who completed the questionnaire were offered a chance for a financial reward (lottery draw). We uploaded the questionnaire online using the online tool LimeSurvey. To disseminate the survey, we contacted 183 forest owners’ organizations and associations active in the Canadian forest sector and asked them to cast the questionnaire by email, newsletter and online media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Follow-up emails were sent out to those associations not answering after a first contact. To create a snowball effect, respondents were asked to forward the hyperlink of the survey to relatives, friends, or colleagues who may be interested to participate in the study. Among the 1030 forest owners who opened the survey link, 611 (59%) provided usable responses. This research was conducted by Dr. Timothée Fouqueray, postdoctoral researcher at Pr. Jérôme Dupras’ Canada Research Chair in Ecological Economics. It was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Québec en Outaouais (Approval Code: 2022-1765). Written informed consent, was obtained from the participants.

Data presented in this paper related to Malaysian university reaerch-based students’ perceptions that affect their psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 384 was drawn from approximately 193,570 population both Ph.D. and research-based Master students who are currently studying in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect the data. Data were collected through an online survey questionnaire. The surveys were administered to the Ph.D. and research-based master’s students between June 15 and June 29, 2020, with the support of Internet platforms (Institutional Email, Google Form, WhatsApp), and resulted in valid 103 responses. The response rate is 26.82%. Demographic information data were collected by using 11 items. Psychological impact data were collected by using the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and research progress, academic life and daily life related data were collected by using 3 items.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (formerly known as the ONS Opinions Survey or Omnibus) is an omnibus survey that began in 1990, collecting data on a range of subjects commissioned by both the ONS internally and external clients (limited to other government departments, charities, non-profit organisations and academia).Data are collected from one individual aged 16 or over, selected from each sampled private household. Personal data include data on the individual, their family, address, household, income and education, plus responses and opinions on a variety of subjects within commissioned modules. The questionnaire collects timely data for research and policy analysis evaluation on the social impacts of recent topics of national importance, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the cost of living, on individuals and households in Great Britain. From April 2018 to November 2019, the design of the OPN changed from face-to-face to a mixed-mode design (online first with telephone interviewing where necessary). Mixed-mode collection allows respondents to complete the survey more flexibly and provides a more cost-effective service for customers. In March 2020, the OPN was adapted to become a weekly survey used to collect data on the social impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the lives of people of Great Britain. These data are held in the Secure Access study, SN 8635, ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, Covid-19 Module, 2020-2022: Secure Access. From August 2021, as coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions were lifting across Great Britain, the OPN moved to fortnightly data collection, sampling around 5,000 households in each survey wave to ensure the survey remains sustainable. The OPN has since expanded to include questions on other topics of national importance, such as health and the cost of living. For more information about the survey and its methodology, see the ONS OPN Quality and Methodology Information webpage.Secure Access Opinions and Lifestyle Survey dataOther Secure Access OPN data cover modules run at various points from 1997-2019, on Census religion (SN 8078), cervical cancer screening (SN 8080), contact after separation (SN 8089), contraception (SN 8095), disability (SNs 8680 and 8096), general lifestyle (SN 8092), illness and activity (SN 8094), and non-resident parental contact (SN 8093). See Opinions and Lifestyle Survey: Secure Access for details. Main Topics:Each month's questionnaire consists of two elements: core questions, covering demographic information, are asked each month together with non-core questions that vary from month to month. The non-core questions for this month were: Second Homes (Module 4): ownership of a second home by any member of the household and reasons for having the second home. Elderly - use of Services (Module 17): use of health and social services by people aged 65 or over (similar to questions asked in the General Household Survey). Pension Schemes (Module 20): membership of employer's pension schemes (for use as a sift for the GAD survey of pension schemes as on the 1983 and 1987 General Household Survey). Stepchildren (Module 5): existence of step-children of informant/partner in household, receipt of child support payments from parent outside the household and existence of dependent children of informant/partner outside household Armed Forces (Module 23): opinion on whether the armed forces are essential and what advantages/disadvantages a career in the armed forces has for a young man. Census Publicity (Module 24): awareness of different forms of publicity preceding the 1991 Census and recall of the information contained in it.

Executive summary of master's thesis

This online survey was designed to test the measurement properties of nine personality scales – the Big Five, Traditionalism, Self-Control, Self-Efficacy, Honesty/Integrity, Socio-Emotional Skills, Intellectual Curiosity, Job Orientation Preferences and Vocational Interests. Eight of these nine scales are existing scales (or combinations of scales) available for use in public domain. The scale assessing socio-emotional skills was developed by an expert group. The complete formulations of items from all the scales including the different forms/test conditions of the scales are presented in the data documentation.

Simplified scales Based on the work of members of the expert group, simplified versions of original scales were developed (see data documentation). This was done in order to make the wording of the original scales more appropriate for use with general adult population (in many cases the original items were perceived as possibly too complex and abstract for less literate members of general population). Not all items have simplified versions since in some cases the original formulations were seen by the expert group as suitable for the target population. This is especially the case in the Job Orientations, Integrity/Honesty and Vocational Interests’ scales as well as the entire Intellectual Curiosity scale. In total, there are 174 original items and 130 simplified or reversed versions of the items.

Neutral/middle point In addition to comparing scales containing the original and simplified items, the second main design feature of this online survey was the use of a neutral/middle point in the Likert scales (agree/disagree). In particular, there were two versions of each original and simplified scale – one with 5 agree/disagree response options, including a “neither agree nor disagree” neutral/middle category and another with 4 response options, which did not include the option of “neither agree nor disagree”. This was done in order to see which of the two response formats worked better for each of the scales in target population.

Balanced scales Some of the original scales were balanced and some unbalanced, with the majority of items being part of balanced scales. The unbalanced scales (self-control, self-efficacy and socio-emotional skills) were balanced by including alternative reverse formulations of a selected small group of items. The process of balancing was achieved by reversing the original formulations of 22 items (in the item bank document, the reversed items are marked with “R” while newly reversed items are marked as “new R”). These newly reversed items were tested against their original counterparts in order to see if the creation of balanced scales led to improvements (comparing both item- and scale-level properties).

Multiple choice vs forced choice In case of the Vocational Interest scale, the two design features that were tested were the original vs simplified and multiple choice vs forced choice item formats. The original format of the Vocational Interest scale was multiple choice. However, the force choice format is often used in other Vocational Interest scales and the expert group wanted to test which of the two formats works better for general adult population.

Design of the online survey The objectives of the online survey were the following, to test: 1. the measurement characteristics of the selected scales; 2. the relationships of the selected scales with background and other characteristics of respondents; 3. different item formulations – original vs. simplified; 4. different response options – with or without a neutral/middle category; 5. scales with different item formats – multiple choice vs. forced choice (voc. interests scale); and 6. the new balanced scales (in comparison with the original unbalanced scales).

Background questionnaire The survey included a number of socio-demographic, economic and personal wellbeing indicators as well as a short cognitive ability test. Socio-demographic characteristics: Gender, age, country of birth/residence, mother tongue, marital status, educational attainment, and parental education Economic and wellbeing indicators: Broad activity status, occupational status, income, subjective health, social trust, life satisfaction, and personal wellbeing Quality control questions: In order to check the quality of responses, the survey included three quality control items placed within the Big Five, Self-Control, and Socio-Emotional skills scal...

This survey of 12th-grade students is part of a series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. Students are randomly assigned to complete one of six questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions, but all containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 1,400 variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey include tobacco, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, hashish, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, LSD, hallucinogens, amphetamines (stimulants), Ritalin (methylphenidate), Quaaludes (methaqualone), barbiturates (tranquilizers), cocaine, crack cocaine, GHB (gamma hydroxy butyrate), ecstasy, methamphetamine, and heroin. Other topics include attitudes toward religion, changing roles for women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug education, and violence and crime (both in and out of school).Highlights for 2021: Data collection resumed in 2021, with a change to all web-based surveys.

The data presented in this data project were collected in the context of the research project “AI TRACE - Synaesthetic Engagement of Artificial Intelligence with Digital Arts and its Audience”. The research project was supported by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.)under the “2nd Call for H.F.R.I. Research Projects to support Post-Doctoral Researchers” (Project Number: 782). AI TRACE aimed at developing an ethically compliant behavioural analysis and visualization tool in the form of a metalanguage that can be used in the museum sector to track, analyse and present data collected from exhibition visitors in the form of a personalized 3D digital object. AI TRACE showcases Artificial Intelligence subsystems. The data presented in this data project were collected during the Preparatory Activity event that took place in October 2021 during the 17th edition of the Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF). The research activity was hosted at the new premises of the Museum of Modern Greek Culture, at a specially designed exhibition space. The purpose of this activity was to collect data for methodological testing and for feeding the AI subsystem. The data files derived from the research activities and provided here are:

1. Data that was gathered from a pre-visit questionnaire which was completed by 231 survey participants. The questionnaire explores visitors' motivations for visiting and preferences of a digital arts exhibition, their relationship with digital arts, their mood and attitude before the visit, and certain demographic characteristics. For the purpose of the research, visitors of the Athens Digital Arts Festival who voluntarily participated in the survey were approached. The dataset can be used to analyse various characteristics of museum visitors, such as their motivation to visit, their interests and their relationship with art, in relation to their personal characteristics (gender, age, status).
2. Timing-and-tracking (T&T) data -more specifically time spent in each exhibit and trajectory- which were extracted from video recordings in the exhibition space. Regular festival visitors were recruited at the entrance of the exhibition area by the research assistants. Participants (N=273) were asked to sign an informed consent form before filling the online anonymous questionnaire and entering the exhibition space. A custom-made software was used to blur their faces during video recording for data anonymization purposes. The tracking data were extracted via BORIS (Behavioral Observation Research Interactive Software), an open-source event logging software for video/audio coding and live observations that is developed by the University of Torino. The datasets can be used to analyse visitors’ behavior in relation to demographic characteristics, their motivations, interests and relation to arts, as well as their pre-visit mood and attitudes.
3. The data file containing both questionnaire data and timing-and-tracking (T&T) data for a subset of the sample (N=223). This data can be used in combination to analyse the behaviour of museum visitors in relation to their demographic characteristics, motivations for visiting, their preferences and their relationship with digital arts, as well as in relation to their mood and attitude before the visit.

This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1948. The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. In addition to the core content, this dataset also includes topics like women's liberation, racial attitudes, economic attitudes, payment of federal income tax, feelings about the quality of life, and various cultural attitudes. As a result of findings from previous ANES studies, the general themes of trust in government, alienation, and efficacy were emphasized in an attempt to determine the causes of the observed decrease in public support of the political system. Besides being a stand-alone time series study, this dataset also represents the first wave in a three-wave data collection that continued with the ANES 1974 Time Series Study (ICPSR 7355) and the 1976 ANES Time Series Study (ICPSR 7381). The full panel file of data from these years, the ANES 1972-1976 Merged File (ICPSR 7607), also includes some cases not represented in the time series studies. To maximize the number of questions asked in 1972, two forms of the interview were developed, and each was administered to half of the respondents in both the pre- and the post-election waves. Each half-sample of respondents assigned to a specific questionnaire version also constitutes a cross-national sample, representative of the study population, so that the two sub-samples may be used together, or separately for analysis purposes. The two forms contain approximately 80 percent of the same items, while 20 percent are unique questions. In addition, in the post-election wave, 57 Form I respondents were re-designated Form III, and 37 Form II respondents were re-designated Form IV, because they were interviewed using a mail questionnaire that contained most, but not all, of the questions included in the face-to-face versions of the post-election questionnaire. Demographic variables include sex, age, race and marital status, number of children in household, level of education, occupation and employment status, religious preference.

The MTF study consists of six different survey forms (five forms from 1976-1988). This study contains the data for Form 1 longitudinal panel participants. The MTF Form 1 Panel dataset includes data for the base year (BY) 12th grade surveys (modal age 18) and their young adult follow-up FU surveys (modal ages 19-30). In addition to demographic-related questions and questions about lifetime, annual, and 30-day substance use that are included on all survey forms, Form 1 also includes questions covering: incidence of first use co-use of substances sources of obtaining substances perceived friends' use perceived availability of substances when, where, and with who substance use is occurring modes of substance use administration reasons for use or non-use own attitudes about substance use perceived risk of use substance use advertising sources of help and treatment free time and activities role of citizens in government, confidence in government voting and political activism attitudes towards discrimination satisfaction with life domains healthy behaviors physical health symptoms Please see the study documentation available on the MTF Panel series page for question-specific details. More information about the MTF project can be accessed through the Monitoring the Future website. Annual reports are published by the research team, describing the data collection and trends over time.

ALLBUS (GGSS - the German General Social Survey) is a biennial trend survey based on random samples of the German population. Established in 1980, its mission is to monitor attitudes, behavior, and social change in Germany. Each ALLBUS cross-sectional survey consists of one or two main question modules covering changing topics, a range of supplementary questions and a core module providing detailed demographic information. Additionally, data on the interview and the interviewers are provided as well. Key topics generally follow a 10-year replication cycle, many individual indicators and item batteries are replicated at shorter intervals.

ALLBUScompact is the downloadable version of the ALLBUS scientific-use-file.

The main question module of ALLBUS 2023 is ´Religion and World View.´ Another focus of the survey was the replication of questions from a broad range of topics. This included questions on lifestyle and personality, political attitudes, ethnocentrism and minorities as well as on social inequality.

IntroductionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus infection continue to represent a global health concern influenced by various social, economic, and cultural factors. The MENA are among the top regions in the world with the fastest-growing HIV epidemic. Thus, adequate knowledge and a positive attitude of people toward HIV/AIDS are of utmost importance to prevent the spreading of the disease. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of the public and healthcare population toward HIV/AIDs.MethodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted among residents within our population from October 2018 until August 2019. An anonymous online questionnaire was used to investigate the population’s demographic characteristics, HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, and attitudes toward HIV-infected patients. Participants completed a 40-item questionnaire designed to measure their knowledge and attitude toward HIV/AIDS. The data was collected via surveys, administered through electronic tablets to the participants at public places (n = 5,757) and through an online version of the questionnaire on Google Forms (n = 2500), which was sent through social media platforms. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data using the R-statistical software program.ResultsA total of 8,257 participants were included in our analysis. Saudi Arabian citizens represented 79% of the participants, while participants from the MENA countries represented 11.7% and 3% from the other Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Fifty-nine (59%) knew that HIV is a contagious infection, and 13.8% were unaware that HIV could be transmitted sexually. A few healthcare professionals reported negative attitudes toward HIV infected patients. Many risk factors, including age, gender, nationality, and education, significantly affected the knowledge and attitude scores. In this survey, we found that social media is the primary source of participants’ information.ConclusionsOverall correct knowledge score of individuals about HIV/AIDS was relatively low. This study showed that the general population was knowledgeable to a certain degree about HIV/AIDS and its modes of transmission. Nevertheless, they lack a detailed understanding of the disease’s nature, modes of transmission, and existing treatment. Policymakers in the region should further eliminate social discrimination and stigma in HIV-infected patients.

The MTF study consists of six different survey forms (five forms from 1976-1988). This study contains the data for Form 5 longitudinal panel participants. The MTF Form 5 restricted panel dataset includes data for the base year (BY) 12th grade surveys (modal age 18) and their young adult follow-up FU surveys (modal ages 19-30). In addition to demographic-related questions and questions about lifetime, annual, and 30-day substance use that are included on all survey forms, Form 5 also includes questions covering: Non-prescription substance use, including Ritalin, Adderall, Oxycontin, Vicodin, fentanyl Energy drinks/shots Flavored alcohol, alcohol+caffeine Flavored small and large cigars Hookah dissolvable tobacco, snus, smokeless tobacco Synthetic marijuana use Incidence of first use Perceived risk of substance use Own and others' attitudes and perceptions about substance use Exposure to substance use Substance use problems Reasons for substance use, abstention or stopping use Perceived availability of substances Expected future substance use Sources of help and treatment for substance use Job-related substance use testing Methods of substance use Satisfaction with life domains Interpersonal relationships Parenthood: status, attitudes, expectations Dating, marriage, and family: status, values, attitudes, expectations, sex roles Military: plans for service, attitudes toward the military as an institution and occupation Working arrangements and settings Work ethic/success orientation Leisure time: extent, activities, and attitudes Community involvement Voting and political activism Political interest and preference Concern for others, locally and globally Conservation of resources, ecological concerns, mass transit Attitudes towards discrimination Expectations concerning societal change Reactions to personal and social change Personal materialism Delinquency and victimization Psychosocial domains: boredom, loneliness, self-esteem, depressive affect,social support, self-efficacy, risk taking Healthy behaviors, illness, COVID-19 Post high school: status, plans, characteristics High school sport involvement, concussion Substance use education in high school Please see the study documentation available on the MTF Panel series page for question-specific details, including content areas included in all survey forms.

The 1960 census used a machine-readable household form. Separate forms were used for each housing unit. Housing questions were included on the same form as the population items. Every fourth enumeration unit received a "long form," containing supplemental sample questions that were asked of all members of the unit. Sample questions are available for all individuals in every unit. Of the units receiving a long form, four-fifths received one version (the 20% questionnaire), and one-fifth received a second version with the same population questions but slightly different housing questions (the 5% questionnaire).

MICRODATA SOURCE: National Statistical Office

SAMPLE DESIGN: A stratified two-stage sample was adopted. 5 strata were Bangkok and the four regions (Central, North, Northeastern, South), and each stratum was divided into municipal areas and non-municipal areas. Then, the sample was selected in two stages. In stage one, a number of sample enumeration districts (EDs) were selected systematically in each sub-stratum with sampling fraction of 1 in 20. In stage two, a sample of households was selected systematically from each sample ED as follows. For private households, one-fifth of households in each ED were selected. For collective households, one-fifth of special households and one fiftth of institutional households were selected in each sub-stratum (municipal and non-municipal areas.

The population was enumerated with Form 2, which consists of three parts. Part 1 identifies the location of the household. Part 2 contains questions on population including questions on demography (S1-S16) and questions on detail of population (L17-L27). Part 3 contains housing questions that are asked of the sample private households only. Note: (i) Only Part 1 and questions on demography (S1-S16) of Part 2 in Form 2 were asked of the private households that have not been selected as sample households. (ii) For the private households that have been selected as sample private households (20%), all questions in Form 2 were asked. (iii) All collective households were enumerated using Form 2 on Part 1 (location of household) and Part 2 (questions on demography and on details of population), but questions on housing were not asked.

Abstract (en): This data collection is part of the Monitoring the Future series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth in eighth, tenth, and twelfth grades. The collection provides two datasets for each year since 1976 that are accessible only through the ICPSR Virtual Data Enclave VDE) and include original variables, including the unaltered weight variable, that in the public-use data were altered or omitted: one dataset without State, County, and Zip Code and one dataset including State, County, and Zip Code. Use of the geographic identifiers such as state, county, or zip code is limited and researchers interested in these variables are encouraged to read FAQs: About MTF Restricted-Use Geographic and Other Variables. Also included as part of each annual collection is a zip archive of the Monitoring the Future public-use data and documentation for each respective year. The basic research design used by the Monitoring the Future study involves annual data collections from eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders throughout the coterminous United States during the spring of each year. The 8th/10th grade surveys used four different questionnaire forms (and only two forms from 1991-1996) rather than the six used with seniors. Identical forms are used for both eighth and tenth grades, and for the most part, questionnaire content is drawn from the twelfth-grade questionnaires. Thus, key demographic variables and measures of drug use and related attitudes and beliefs are generally identical for all three grades. However, many fewer questions about lifestyles and values are included in the 8th/10th grade forms. Drugs covered by this survey include tobacco, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, hashish, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, inhalants, steroids, LSD, hallucinogens, amphetamines (stimulants), Ritalin (methylphenidate), Quaaludes (methaqualone), barbiturates (tranquilizers), cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, heroin, and GHB (gamma hydroxy butyrate). Other topics include attitudes toward religion, changing roles for women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug education, and violence and crime (both in and out of school). ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Created variable labels and/or value labels.; Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes..
