Social Science Dataset Preparation ServicesSocial Science Dataset Preparation Services
Over the last 18 years, Sociometrics has developed a comprehensive set of procedures for the preparation and archiving of large social and behavioral science datasets that provides users of secondary data with substantial added value and ensure the highest data quality. Our data preparation and archiving systems utilize database applications, statistical programs, and proprietary executable files that automate most archiving processes, and establish data quality standards that have been achieved by very few organizations. Other Data-Related ProductsU.S. Social Surveys: Questions and Responses from National Surveys U.S. Social Surveys: Questions and Responses from National Studies links questionnaires from national social and health surveys with the actual data collected by survey researchers. With U.S. Social Surveys, you can examine questionnaire responses to see how specific populations of Americans answered questions about topics such as teen pregnancy, AIDS, family growth and health, or risk behavior or view questionnaires to plan new research, learn about survey research methods, and study questionnaire design. The U.S. Social Surveys collection includes six of the most recent national investigations of social behavior from Sociometrics' Social Science Electronic Data Library (SSEDL), including the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the Youth Risk Behavior Surveys, and the National Health and Social Life Survey. Child Well Being and Poverty Online Statistical Abstract The Child Welfare and Poverty Statistical Abstract is an online, interactive statistical abstract of more than 300 searchable sets of tables, charts, and figures pertaining to child well being and poverty, that are available via online subscription. Multivariate Interactive Data Analysis System (MIDAS)
The Multivariate Interactive Data Analysis System (MIDAS) provides access via the Internet to online data analysis of social science, health, and demographic variables from a pool of over 150,000 variables available in studies from seven of Sociometrics' topically-focused national data archives. MIDAS includes search and retrieval programming and highly organized variable-level and study-level links to supporting documentation such as original instruments, codebooks, methodology reports, and data set User's Guides. Computer Assisted Questionnaire and Dataset Developer (CAQDD)
The CAQDD (Computer Assisted Questionnaire and Dataset Developer) is a research tool developed by Sociometrics for social scientists. The software is intended to greatly facilitate questionnaire writing, data set development, and documentation by automating tasks that can best be done by computer. It improves questionnaire creation and documentation by providing a structure and format that is both complete and of high quality; and it eliminates much of the post data-collection effort of documenting a data set for public use by other researchers. Teaching ResourcesPETRA: Promoting Education, Teaching, and Research on AIDS Sociometrics has translated the latest HIV/AIDS research findings into easy-to-navigate, easy-to-understand online resource modules in order to increase understanding of the social and behavioral aspects of this deadly epidemic. The PETRA Science-Based Information Modules include information about HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, antecedents, consequences, prevention, and treatment. Data and Internet Literacy Series Comprised of a set of self-paced training modules and a parallel set of materials for instructors, the Data and Internet Literacy Series provides the basics for utilizing and understanding data and the Internet to better understand issues and research in the social sciences.
