ELECTRONIC DATA LIBRARY

Variables in each archive have each been coded into one of approximately 50 "Topics", e.g., Child Care, Health, Occupation, Sexuality. Some Topics are common to all Sociometrics archives, such as the Topics for Age, Race, Sex, Occupation/Employment, and Education, whereas other Topics are archive-specific. For example, the disability archive (RADIUS) includes basic demographic Topics along with specialized disability-related Topics, such as Rehabilitation and Societal Limitation. The Table below--which shows the number of variables assigned to each Topic code--provides a quick reference to the richness of Topical coverage in SSEDL.
