About This Product

The survey provides information on patterns followed by abortion clinics in 1979-1980 regarding parental consent and notification policies for teenagers. Data include at what age services are provided without parental consent or notification, what procedures are followed to obtain parental consent or to notify parents, and under what circumstances teenagers might be served without consent or notification. Conducted between October 1979 and March 1980, the survey consisted of a questionnaire mailed to 2,110 hospitals and freestanding clinics across the country that report abortion services, including private physicians who performed more than 100 abortions during the first quarter of 1978. The final sample includes a total of 645 respondent agencies, weighted by type of agency and by caseload. 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.
