DAAPPP Data Set No. 62

1968 Study of Family Planning Services and the Distribution of Black Americans
Kenneth C. Kammeyer, Norman R. Yetman, and McKee J. McClendon

This study collected data from a 1969 Planned Parenthood and Office of Economic Opportunity report and from U.S. Bureau of the Census reports in order to investigate the relationships between a number of variables and the availability of family planning services. Data were collected to test the hypothesis that a proportion of blacks in a county would be associated with a greater availability of family planning-services. Additional independent variables included measures of poverty, fertility, urbanization, region, and other ethnic variables. The population consisted of 3,046 (out of 3,072) U.S. counties - Hawaii and Alaska were excluded.

Note for users of DAAPPP Data Sets #01-B1

DAAPPP data sets 01 through B1 (NATASHA 1) are comprised of a User's Guide, SPSS syntax files (*.SPS or *.SPX) and raw data files only. Most of these datasets contain SPSS syntax files that use Job Control Language (JCL) from 1980s versions of SPSS-X. Because the syntax is old, the syntax files require editing to conform to the current syntax standards used by SPSS/Windows or SPSS/Unix. If you require technical assistance in using or editing these syntax files, please contact Sociometrics' Data Support Group at 800.846.3475 or socio@socio.com.
