National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle IV, 1988
Investigators: National Center for Health Statistics

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), Cycle IV, 1988 queried 8,450 women 15-44 years of age of all marital statuses. The DAAPPP file consists of a "respondent" or "woman" record which contains all available NSFG information about the woman herself plus a significant extract of the NSFG pregnancy history file: information from up to five (the first four and the last) of her pregnancies. Topics covered in the interview include: the month and year of first intercourse; pregnancy, contraceptive, and marital and cohabitation histories; employment and occupation; child care; fecundity and sterility; prenatal medical care; family planning services; birth expectations; ethnicity; education; religion; and income. There are 2,430 variables in this study.
