The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series (formerly titled National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) primarily measures the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Questions included age at first use as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, cocaine (and crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of prescription drugs, including pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The survey covered substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for treatment, and included questions from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be applied. The survey included questions concerning treatment for both substance abuse and mental health-related disorders. Respondents were also asked about personal and family income sources and amounts, health care access and coverage, illegal activities and arrest record, problems resulting from the use of drugs, and needle-sharing. Questions introduced in previous administrations were retained in the 2014 survey, including questions asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17. These "youth experiences" items covered a variety of topics, such as neighborhood environment, illegal activities, drug use by friends, social support, extracurricular activities, exposure to substance abuse prevention and education programs, and perceived adult attitudes toward drug use and activities such as school work. Several measures focused on prevention-related themes in this section. Also retained were questions on mental health and access to care, perceived risk of using drugs, perceived availability of drugs, driving and personal behavior, and cigar smoking. Questions on the tobacco brand used most often were introduced with the 1999 survey. For the 2008 survey, adult mental health questions were added to measure symptoms of psychological distress in the worst period of distress that a person experienced in the past 30 days and suicidal ideation. In 2008, a split-sample design also was included to administer separate sets of questions (WHODAS vs. SDS) to assess impairment due to mental health problems. Beginning with the 2009 NSDUH, however, all of the adults in the sample received only the WHODAS questions. Background information includes gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, veteran status, and current household composition.

In 2023, the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) focused on national identity. The questions covered issues such as Finnishness, immigration attitudes, democracy, trust in the Finnish public sector and views on the European Union. This data consists of a questionnaire collected from Finns. The first question asked what characteristics of people were considered important for them to be considered Finnish. Respondents' pride in Finland was measured by statements on democracy, international political influence, economic achievements, social security system, achievements in sport, art and literature, the military, history and equality. The following statements covered a wide range of national and international policies, including protecting Finland's economy, environmental pollution, looking after Finland's own interests and the right of foreigners to buy land. Questions were also asked about transnational enterprises, free trade and international organisations and associations. Several statements dealt with different racial and ethnic groups, immigrants and their culture. Questions were also asked about trust in the Finnish public sector and views on personal influence and democracy. Questions on the European Union asked, for example, whether Finland benefits from membership of the Union and whether Finland should follow the Union's decisions even if it disagrees with them. It was also asked whether the European Union should have more or less power than the national governments of the Member States and how the respondent would vote if a referendum were held on Finland's continued membership of the European Union. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's gender, year of birth, marital status, level of education, occupation, voting behaviour, gross income, current labour market status, household size and metropolitan area. In addition, background variables included the education, occupation and labour market status of the respondent's spouse.

See the 'State of Migration' or 'Rapportage Immigration Chain' (until 2020) for a substantive explanation of the data in this dataset. See chapter 'Methodology' for a number of aspects that should be taken into account when interpreting the data. The 'State of Migration' and 'Rapportage Immigration Chain' can be downloaded from the site www.Rijksoverheid.nl Below you will find an updated substantive explanation of the data in the files. In order to be able to return, foreign nationals must be given access to the country of origin. This can be done on the basis of a valid passport or a replacement travel document, usually a laissez-passer issued by the country of origin. Foreign nationals who no longer have the correct documents can, possibly with the support of the DT&V, apply for (replacement) travel documents at their diplomatic representation for independent departure. However, some of the foreign nationals without lawful residence do not leave the Netherlands independently and are not prepared to cooperate in establishing identity and nationality. For these foreign nationals, the DT&V asks the presumed country of origin to determine the nationality and to provide a (replacement) travel document for return. This is the so-called laissez-passer process. A return or readmission request is submitted to countries with which a return and readmission agreement (T&O) has been concluded. This is called the T&O process. A request to determine the nationality has three possible outcomes: 1) The authorities of the country in question establish that the person concerned possesses the nationality of that country or otherwise has a right of residence in the country; 2) The authorities of the country in question determine that the person concerned does not have the nationality of the country or that this cannot be confirmed; 3) The DT&V decides to withdraw the request. Ad 1. As a rule, a nationality determined by the country of origin means that the country of origin also agrees to issue a replacement travel document (laissez-passer). The DT&V asks the country of origin to actually provide a laissez-passer only for a scheduled flight. Among other things, subsequent residence law procedures and interim evasion from central government supervision mean that not all established nationalities result in the actual issue of a laissez-passer and departure from the Netherlands. Re 2. This means that the person concerned is not a national or that the nationality cannot be determined on the basis of the information provided. Such an answer can give direction to the follow-up process. The response that the person concerned does not have the nationality of the country cannot, in principle, be blamed on that country. These often concern cases in which foreign nationals themselves have not provided sufficient information to be able to establish their identity and/or actually come from another country. Ad 3. The DT&V can withdraw a request for various reasons, for example because there has been no response from the country of origin for some time. In addition, foreign nationals sometimes evade supervision by the central government or are still granted a residence permit. There are a number of aspects that need to be taken into account when interpreting the data. - The individual tables do not form a cohort. - All numbers are rounded to tens. For privacy reasons, numbers less than 5 are not shown. - Because the numbers are rounded to the nearest tens, deviations may occur when adding detailed numbers compared to, for example, the annual total. For detailed rules with nationalities, the deviation can be significant. For this reason, the totals are also included in the file. - Each line in the file contains at least a column 'Total of' and a number. The 'Total of' column shows the contents of the number. For example, the line with 'Year' in the 'Total of' column indicates the year total. The lines with 'Year, Month' in the 'Total of' column indicate the total number for each year and month. - Always use only one 'total of' per item to avoid double counting. - The numbers stated in the 'Reporting on the Immigration Chain' serve as a frame of reference. The files are published annually for the previous year. Files from previous years remain available and will no longer be updated.

Abstract: While the practice of nationality swapping in sports traces back as far as the Ancient Olympics, it seems to have accelerated over the past decades. Cases of Olympic athletes who switched their national allegiances are often surrounded with controversy. Two strands of thought could help explain this controversy. First, these cases are believed to be indicative of the marketisation of citizenship. Second, these cases challenge established discourses of national identity as the question ‘who may represent the nation?’ becomes contested. Using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, I analysed 1534 English language newspaper articles about Olympic athletes who switched their nationalities (1978-2017). The results indicate (i) that switching national allegiance has not necessarily become more controversial, (ii) that most media reports do not frame nationality swapping in economic terms, and (iii) that nationality swapping oftentimes takes places rather unnoticed. I therefore conclude that a marketisation of citizenship is less apparent in nationality switching than some claim. Moreover, nationality switches are often mentioned rather casually, indicating the generally banal character of nationalism. Only under certain conditions ‘hot’ nationalism sparks the issue of nationhood.

This study is part of the American National Election Studies (ANES), a time series collection of national surveys fielded since 1948. The American National Election Studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The files included in this study are restricted-use due to the race, nationality, immigration, and heritage data contained in them for the year listed in the title.

For all persons who, from 1 January 2020, are registered in the population registers of the Caribbean Netherlands, the first nationality, if applicable the second nationality, shall include the characterisation of the nationalities based on the number of nationalities with the date of commencement and date of end of each nationality.

The file (component) is part of the CBS System of Social Statistical Files (SSB). The component is a coordinated version and contains information for 1 January 2010 until 31 December YYYY. Only the information for the last year has been coordinated.

Nationality is the legal nationality of a particular state (citizenship).

Individuals may have multiple nationalities. The BRP Act (Basic Registration of Persons), which entered into force on 6 January 2014, provides that persons with Dutch nationality no longer include data on a second or subsequent nationality. This means that from 6 January 2014 on first registration of Dutch nationals in the BRP, no data on possible non-Dutch nationalities will be recorded. For Dutch nationals who were already registered, data on non-Dutch nationalities have not been kept since 31 January 2015. This means that as of January 6, 2014, the variables PIVANATIONALITY2 and PIVATYPENATIONALITY are NOT MORE BUSINESS. It is also a question of no longer registering a second or subsequent nationality in the PIVA. As a result, the person seems to have lost non-Dutch nationality. This is not the case. With the introduction of the PIVA Act, nothing has changed in the nationality(s) of the registered persons.

Methodology

When do you use this file? The file is used to add personal attributes to individuals within populations that originate from other files.

This file is only suitable in combination PIVAADRESOBJECTBUS to determine the annual number of nationality changes as published by team demography. Nationality changes are only counted if a person is resident in the Caribbean Netherlands at the time of the change. The file is a coordinated version of a living bus. This means that the information about only the last year is final and is consistent with the information published on StatLine by Team Demography. Changes in the past that become known (many) later will still be processed in the bus on the actual event date. As a result, the information about all other periods within the same component does not match the information published on StatLine by Team Demography.

The file is of the bus type. Bus type means that the data file (the component) has a form in which in a record (a row in the file) attributes are attached to an entity using a time key. The time key consists of a start date and an end date. When a change occurs in one or more attributes, a new record is created. There shall be no overlap in the time keys of successive records for a specific entity.

If levelling time is 1 January JJJJ+ 1 and the information must match the information published on StatLine from Team Demography then you use the coordinated component of JJJJ (the component runs until 31 December JYYY-1 00:00, this includes 1 January JYYY+ 1 00:00). Although the coordinated component contains information on a series of years, only the last year in the component is final. This means that a different version (year) of the coordinated component should be used for each year output. In all other cases, the uncoordinated version can be used. Also, with the same component, a single analysis file with multiple periods can be created at the same time.

Some examples: Level moment Status figures Component 1-1-2015 coordinated according to StatLine, 2014 31-5-2012 coordinated according to StatLine, 2013 2012 according to StatLine coordinated, 2013

The publication of nationalities must be in accordance with a standard national publication list. This list contains current nationalities per year of publication. The nationality codes can be recoded to this national list using the reference file NATAKTUEELYYJJREFVV.

Population

Includes all persons who have been or have been registered in the population registers of the Caribbean Netherlands from 1 January 2010.

The Clinical Questions Collection is a repository of questions that have been collected between 1991 – 2003 from healthcare providers in clinical settings across the country. The questions have been submitted by investigators who wish to share their data with other researchers. This dataset is no-longer updated with new content. The collection is used in developing approaches to clinical and consumer-health question answering, as well as researching information needs of clinicians and the language they use to express their information needs. All files are formatted in XML.

The survey studied national identity, national pride and national consciousness of the Finns, and their opinions on Finland's international influence and role, the European Union, the impact of immigration, immigrants, national minorities, and national culture. Questions charted identification with town/city, nation and Europe, most important characteristics for Finnish identity, and perceived pride in being a Finn, and pride in Finland due to democracy, scientific, economic, artistic or sports achievements, social security system, history, equality etc. Attitudes to the power of international institutions, international organisations or the EU to enforce policies in Finland, acquisition of land by foreigners, free trade, and impact of international companies to local business were investigated. Further questions surveyed whether national customs and traditions should be followed to achieve full nationality, should national minorities preserve their own culture, and should different racial and ethnic groups assimilate or retain their identity. Opinions on immigration policy, the rights of immigrants, impact of immigrants on Finnish society, consequences of patriotic feelings, and ethnic diversity in the workplace were charted. The respondents were also asked if they and their parents had Finnish citizenship. Background variables included the respondent's and spouse's gender, year of birth, education, employment, working hours, supervisory duties, occupation, economic activity and occupational status. Further background information included the respondent's membership in a trade union, religious affiliation, religious attendance, self-perceived social class, political party preference in elections, household composition, number of staff members in the workplace, and employer type.

Ethnic group

Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background.

This topic contains ethnic group write-in responses without reference to the five broad ethnic group categories, e.g. all Irish people, irrespective of whether they are White, Mixed/multiple ethnic groups, Asian/Asian British, Black/African/Caribbean/Black British or Other ethnic group, are in the 'Irish' response category. This topic was created as part of the commissioned table processing.

National identity

A person's national identity is a self-determined assessment of their own identity with respect to the country or countries with which they feel an affiliation. This assessment of identity is not dependent on legal nationality or ethnic group.

The national identity question included six tick box responses:

• English
• Welsh
• Scottish
• Northern Irish
• British
• Other

Where a person ticked 'Other' they were asked to write in the name of the country. People were asked to tick all options that they felt applied to them. This means that in results relating to national identity people may be classified with a single national identity or a combination of identities.

The statistic presents the attitude of Spaniards towards their nationality in 2019, broken down by age group. During that year, the average response from 18 to 24 years Spaniards to the statement "I prefer the Spanish nationality over any other" was 6.5 on a scale of 0 to 10. In contrast, over 65-year-olds scored 8.5 points when answering the same question.

Knowing the racial and ethnic composition of a community is often one of the first steps in understanding, serving, and advocating for various groups. This information can help enforce laws, policies, and regulations against discrimination based on race and ethnicity. These statistics can also help tailor services to accommodate cultural differences.This multi-scale map shows the most common race/ethnicity living within an area. Map opens at tract-level in Los Angeles, CA but has national coverage. Zoom out to see counties and states.This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data. These layers are part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available. The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of individuals in the United States. The Census Bureau collects racial data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. The categories represent a social-political construct designed for collecting data on the race and ethnicity of broad population groups in this country, and are not anthropologically or scientifically based.

Questions, answers and documents are stored in the dataset. Every question has an answer and the answer comes from a page of Rijksportaal Personnel (intranet central government). With this dataset a question-and-answer model can be trained. The computer thus learns to answer questions in the context of P-Direkt. A total of 322 questions were used that were once asked by e-mail to the contact center of P-Direkt. The questions are very general and never ask about personal circumstances. The aim of the dataset was to test whether question-and-answer models could possibly be used in a P-Direkt environment. The structure of the dataset corresponds to the Squad 2.0 dataset. ### Example: #### Question: Is it true that my SCV hours of 2020 expire if I don't take them? #### Answer: You can save your IKB hours in your IKB savings leave. IKB hours that you have not taken as leave and have not paid out will be added to your IKB savings leave at the end of December. Your IKB savings leave cannot expire #### Source*: You can save your IKB hours in your IKB savings leave. IKB hours that you have not taken as leave and have not paid out will be added to your IKB savings leave at the end of December. Your IKB savings leave cannot expire. You cannot have your IKB savings leave paid out. Payment is only made in the event of termination of employment or death. You can save up to 1800 hours. Do you work part-time or more than an average of 36 hours per week? In that case, the maximum number of hours to be saved is calculated proportionally and rounded down to whole hours. Any remaining holiday hours from 2015 and extra-statutory holiday hours that you had left over from 2016 up to and including 2019 will be converted into IKB hours on 1 January 2020 and these have been added to your IKB savings leave. * Please note, source is a snapshot of National Portal Personnel from April 2021.

This project investigated the developments of nation-building, nationalism and notions of the other's in today's Russia. The nation-building program designed by Yeltsin for post-Soviet Russia is under strain. Central to this program is the concept of the ‘Rossiiskii’ nation, signaling a non-ethnic nation model with significant cultural and political rights to non-Russians, but held together with a high degree of common values and traditions. Today, the loss of the large, multiethnic Soviet state is accepted by an increasing number of Russians, but in the process also the civic understanding of the nation is being jettisoned, and Russian nationalism, for the first time in it history, seems to be turning towards a focus on ethnicity: ‘Russian’ is increasingly being understood as ‘ethnic Russian’ (‘Russkii’).

Ethnocentric and xenophobic sentiments were prominent in the anti-Putinist rallies that attracted large crowds in winter 2011/2012. Especially notable were slogans against culturally alien migrant laborers from Central Asia and North Caucasus – the ‘new Other’.

This project examined the nationality question in Russian discourse and aims to determine to what extent the Russian national identity is shifting from an imperial (and implicitly multiethnic) understanding of the nation, towards an ethnic and exclusive one. We also looked at the potential consequences this shift might have for Russian politics.

Key issues In order to document and analyze the new preconditions for nation-building in Russia, four key issues will be taken up for separate scrutiny; - Changes in political signals as well as the state’s actual policies - The nationality issue in the opposition and political fringe groups - Role of the media - Changes in the public mood

This table contains data on the population of the Netherlands with the Dutch and one or more non-Dutch nationalities by second nationality as of 1 January, distinguished by age and gender.

Data available from 1 January 1998 to 1 January 2014.

Status of the figures: All figures in the table are final.

Changes as of 20 February 2015: None, this table has been discontinued.

The BRP Act (Basic Registration of Persons), which entered into force on 6 January 2014, provides that persons with Dutch nationality no longer include data on a second or subsequent nationality. This means that from 6 January 2014 on first registration of Dutch nationals in the BRP, no data on possible non-Dutch nationalities will be recorded. For Dutch nationals who were already registered, data on non-Dutch nationalities have not been kept since 31 January 2015. This means that the information in this table can no longer be kept in full with effect from 6 January 2014. Therefore, this table is discontinued. It is also a question of no longer registering a second or subsequent nationality in the BRP. As a result, the person seems to have lost non-Dutch nationality. This is not the case. With the introduction of the BRP Act, nothing has changed in the nationality(s) of the registered persons.

When will there be new figures? No longer applicable.

The Citizenship Survey (known in the field as the Communities Study) ran from 2001 to 2010-2011. It began as the 'Home Office Citizenship Survey' (HOCS) before the responsibility moved to the new Communities and Local Government department (DCLG) in May 2006. The survey provided an evidence base for the work of DCLG, principally on the issues of community cohesion, civic engagement, race and faith, and volunteering. The survey was used extensively for developing policy and for performance measurement. It was also used more widely, by other government departments and external stakeholders to help inform their work around the issues covered in the survey. The survey was conducted on a biennial basis from 2001-2007. It moved to a continuous design in 2007 which means that data became available on a quarterly basis from April of that year. Quarter one data were collected between April and June; quarter two between July and September; quarter three between October and December and quarter four between January and March. Once collection for the four quarters was completed, a full aggregated dataset was made available, and the larger sample size allowed more detailed analysis.

In January 2011, the DCLG announced that the Citizenship Survey was to close. As part of the drive to deliver cost savings across government and to reduce the fiscal deficit, research budgets were closely scrutinised to identify where savings can be made. For this reason, and the belief that priority data from this survey could either be dropped; collected less frequently; or collected via other means, the survey was cancelled. Fieldwork concluded on 31 March 2011, followed by publication of reports in the months after analysis of that data. Further information about the survey, including links to publications, can be found on the National Archives webarchive page for the Citizenship Survey. The Consultation outcome: the future of the citizenship survey statement can be viewed on the gov.uk website. The Community Life Survey, (held under GN 33475), which began in 2012-2013 and is conducted by the Cabinet Office, incorporates a small number of priority measures from the Citizenship Survey, in order that trends in these issues
can continue to be tracked over time. For these measures the Community Life Survey findings are comparable to the Citizenship Survey findings.

A research project was carried out by the National Centre for Social Research in partnership with the Institute for Volunteering Research in 2006/7, as a follow-up to the Citizenship Survey, 2005. The resulting study, the National Survey of Volunteering and Charitable Giving, 2006-2007, is held at the UKDA under SN 5793.
Main Topics:

The 2005 survey questionnaire covered:

• social networks
• respondents' feelings about their commmunities, including community cohesion
• trust and influence
• volunteering
• civil renewal
• race and religious prejudice and discrimination
• rights and responsibilities
• demographic and geodemographic information

Standard Measures:
The questionnaire used established questions and classifications where appropriate:

• demographic questions were mostly taken from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) harmonised question booklets
• questions on family relationships were adapted from the General Household Survey (GHS) family relationship grid (the GHS is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under GN 33090)
• the hierarchy...

To ascertain how the British public feel about AI companions, we conducted a UK-wide demographically representative national survey (implemented by professional company Walnut Unlimited - a human understanding agency, part of the Unlimited Group), across 10-12 December 2024, 2073 respondents aged 18 years or over, online omnibus). This was a part of a Responsible AI award, to create soft governance of autonomous systems that interact with human emotions and/or emulate empathy.

The survey asks 22 closed-ended, multiple-choice questions on AI companions. The first set of questions (Q.1-2) glean participants’ familiarity with, and usage of, companion apps. The second set of questions (Q.3-4) explore the acceptability of design features of AI companions. The third set of questions (Q.5-7) explore the broad benefits and concerns from using AI companions. The fourth set of questions (Q.8-13) explore views on children and companion apps. The fifth set of questions (Q.14-15) explore views on older adults and companion apps. The sixth set of questions (Q.16-18) explore views on mental health issues and companion apps. The seventh set of questions (Q.19-21) explore views on desired governance of companion apps to consider the practicalities of what societies should do about AI companions, if anything. The final question (Q.22) is an evaluative question on whether participants feel AI companions are generally a positive or negative addition to society.

The study on young people's civic competencies, participation and attitudes was conducted in Finnish schools in 2009 as part of a larger ICCS 2009 study. It investigated the civic skills and knowledge of young people as well as their disposition to active citizenship. The study had three parts: one for students, teachers and schools each. The questionnaire for students is the broadest of the three with questions focusing on the students' civic awareness and views on civic society and European identity. This dataset includes the international, European and national modules of the student questionnaire. The FSD participated in the funding of the study. The first section presented the international questions. The respondents were asked how often they did different activities outside school (doing homework, discussing political issues with friends etc), whether they had participated in the activities of different associations and organisations, and whether they had participated in civic activities in their school (e.g. been involved in the school's decision-making). A number of statements related to civics classes and student participation at school (e.g. "students can openly disagree with the teachers", "every school should have a student board"). Views on society were charted with several statements relating to freedom of speech, rights of the citizens and the role of the media. The respondents were asked how important different actions are if one is to be a good citizen, for instance, voting in all national elections, following politics in different media and always abiding by the law. Opinions on equal rights in society were probed with various statements (e.g. "men and women should get equal pay when they are doing the same jobs", "all ethnic groups should have an equal chance to get a good education in Finland"). Perceptions of Finland were investigated with questions covering trust in civic institutions, attitudes towards Finland, and political party preference. Interest in political and social issues was investigated, as well as self-perceived awareness and knowledge of these issues. The respondents were requested to rate how well they would perform in different civic activities (e.g. writing a letter to a newspaper) and whether they would be prepared to protest by using different means (wearing a badge or t-shirt expressing their opinion, occupying public buildings etc.) The respondents were asked how they expected they were going to participate in politics and civil society as adults. The questions in the international module have been coded with the letter 'i' (e.g. i13_2). The second section covered questions relating to European citizenship and identity. These included, among others, statements probing whether the respondents saw themselves primarily as citizens of Europe or Finland, felt pride for living in Europe and thought themselves as part of the EU. The respondents' civic participation at the European level (school trips to other European countries etc.) was investigated, as well as the opportunities to participate provided by the respondents' schools. Involvement in discussion about issues and events relating to Europe was charted. Attitudes toward intercultural relations were surveyed with numerous statements focusing on European language learning, freedom of movement within Europe, equal opportunities for different groups, and immigration. The respondents were asked to rate several statements regarding European policies, the single currency and European integration (e.g. "it would be good if European countries had more similar rules and laws", "all countries in Europe should aspire to become members of the European Union"). The respondents also rated their knowledge of the EU. National questions covered what degree of influence the respondents thought students of their age could have by using different means and how often they participated in the activities of different organisations, clubs or groups. The importance of Internet for different activities and purposes, as well as trust in civic institutions (universities, religious communities etc.) and market forces were charted. The questions in the European and national modules have been coded with the letter 'e'. In addition to question and background variables, there are several auxiliary and weight variables in the data. For more information on these variables, see Data appraisal and notes. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's date of birth, gender, group identification, expected level of education, country of birth, language spoken at home, parents' levels of education, number of books in the household, and household composition.
