About This Product

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-B1DAAPPP data sets 01 through B1 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.
