Fee Policies for U.S. Clinics With and Without Title X Funding, 1983-1984
  • Fee Policies for U.S. Clinics With and Without Title X Funding, 1983-1984

    Investigators: Aida Torres

    This study includes data on clinic policies regarding patient fees, using as its standard what a clinic would charge a new pill patient for her first visit, plus the cost of a 3 month supply of pills. The respondents are grouped based on whether or not they receive Title X funding, with additional data providing information on how patients' incomes are verified, how fee levels are arrived at, and the number of sites covered by these policies. The survey was conducted from December 1983 to January 1984 using a questionnaire mailed to agencies originally surveyed in 1982 (separately documented as DAAPPP Data Set No. 71-72). A total of 317 out of 543 agencies responded with useful information, and responses were weighted to reflect the distribution of organized providers by type of agency.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.

Fertility and Contraception Among Low-Income Child Abusing and Neglecting Mothers in Baltimore, MD, 1984-1985
  • Fertility and Contraception Among Low-Income Child Abusing and Neglecting Mothers in Baltimore, MD, 1984-1985

    Investigators: Susan J. Zuvarin

    The purpose of this study was to generate information about the fertility patterns and contracepting behaviors of mothers who personally neglect their children and mothers who either physically abuse or allow someone else to physically abuse their children. Specific objectives were: To describe and compare the fertility patterns--family size, family spacing, age at first birth, number of sires per family, and number of unplanned children--of maltreating and comparable non-maltreating mothers. To describe and compare the contracepting behaviors of maltreating and comparable nonmaltreating mothers. To identify demographic, personal, and social factors associated with family inadequacy by urban, public assistance mothers and to determine if these factors differ by type of maltreatment. To recommend family planning delivery strategies that will assist maltreating mothers and other ineffective contraceptors to more adequately control their fertility.

Field Test of Values and Choices, Search Institute's Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Demonstration Project, 1985-86
  • Field Test of Values and Choices, Search Institute's Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Demonstration Project, 1985-86

    Investigators: Michael J. Donahue, Peter L. Benson, and Richard J. Gordon

    General AFL goals include emphasis on the importance of family involvement in the delivery of services; promotion of adolescent premarital sexual abstinence; adoption as a positive alternative to early parenting; and comprehensive health, education, and social services designed to help the mother to have a healthy baby and to improve subsequent life prospects for both infant and mother. The AFL Demonstration Program was enacted to provide local communities and institutions with workable models of prevention programs that discourage premarital adolescent sexual relations, and care programs that reduce the negative consequences of adolescent pregnancy. To develop these models, AFL authorized grants for three types of demonstrations: (1) projects which provide "care services" only (e.g., services for the provision of comprehensive services to pregnant adolescents, adolescent parents, and their families); (2) projects which provide "prevention services" only (e.g., services to promote abstinence from adolescent premarital sexual relations); and (3) projects which provide a combination of care and prevention services. The demonstration projects were multi-year projects (3-5 years), renewable annually. As of March 1988, 97 demonstration projects had been funded. Human Sexuality: Values and Choices is a 15-session, values-based, parent-involved, video-assisted school curriculum for seventh and eighth graders. The course is designed and sponsored by Search Institute, a not-for-profit research institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Field test sites were located in public schools in Denver, Colorado; Detroit, Michigan; Minneapolis and Grand Rapids, Minnesota; and the San Francisco Bay area of California. The curriculum began implementation in 1983 with AFL funding; the field test began in the fall of 1985 and concluded in the spring of 1986. The curriculum's goals were to decrease the intention to engage in intercourse "while I am a teenager," to instill values supporting sexual restraint in adolescence, and to increase the amount of parent-child communication concerning sexuality and its expression. Parents are invited to attend a three-session course introducing them to the curriculum and materials. Seven values were used in the curriculum as a basis for teaching about human relationships in general and sexuality in particular: (1) equality, (2) honesty, (3) respect, (4) responsibility, (5) promise-keeping, (6) self-control, and (7) social justice. A pretest/posttest/delayed posttest design with a control group was employed to assess the effectiveness of the course. A 100-item questionnaire was administered immediately before (September 1985), immediately after (November 1985), and three to four months after completion of the course (March 1986). The questionnaire was administered both to students who took the course and to students in the same school and grade who did not take it. (Control students received the course after the treatment group completed the delayed posttest.) The field test was designed to test the following hypotheses: Course participation would increase support for sexual restraint in adolescence Course participation would decrease belief that boys have stronger or more uncontrollable sex drives than girls Course participation would decrease support for the use of coercion in sexual relations Course participation would increase knowledge of human reproduction Course participation would increase frequency ocfonversations with parents concerning sexuality Course participation would increase belief that intercourse can result in getting a sexually transmitted disease Course participation would increase belief that intercourse can result in pregnancy Course participation would decrease intention to engage in sexual intercourse while a teenager Course participation would have no effect on the students' global attitude toward sexuality. The last hypothesis was included in order to examine whether a course emphasizing abstinence might result in more negative or repressed attitudes toward sexuality. Hypotheses (1) through (5) and hypothesis (9) were tested using scales constructed from two to eight items each, with internal consistencies between .54 and .86. (See Appendix B for information on how these scales are constructed.) Hypotheses (6) and (7) were tested with single items. Hypothesis (8), or behavioral intention to engage in intercourse, was tested using the indices specified by the theory of reasoned action F(tihseh bein model).

First U.S. Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES), 1971-1975
  • First U.S. Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES), 1971-1975

    Investigators: National Center for Health Statistics

    The first Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES I) was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics to measure the nutritional status and health of the U.S. population aged 1-74 years. For children aged 1-5 years, information on the age of the biological mother at the time of birth of the subject child is available. Thus, it is possible to differentiate children born to teenage mothers from those born to older mothers. The Archive file contains information on all 1-5 year-olds. In addition, data from children aged 6-11 are included in the file to allow comparisons with the second HANES (HANES II; forthcoming in DAAPPP), which will contain data on age of mother for all 1- 11 year-olds, and not just for 1-5 year-olds. The DAAPPP HANES I file includes data merged from the three HANES I public use files that are most relevant to studies of the health consequences for children of teen parents. The file contains all of the following information: demographic background characteristics; height and weight data; data on a series of body and skinfold measurements; results of x- rays of hand and wrist; medical examination results; medical history; and school lunch, milk, and breakfast programs data.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.

Florida-Puerto Rico Study of Adolescent Pregnancy and Neonatal Behavior, 1978
  • Florida-Puerto Rico Study of Adolescent Pregnancy and Neonatal Behavior, 1978

    Investigators: Barry M. Lester

    The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between neonatal behavior and prenatal and perinatal risk factors in infants of adolescent and older mothers in Puerto Rico and Mainland United States. The sample included 303 newborn infants; 156 were examined in Puerto Rico, and 147 in Florida. A follow-up study was conducted with 99 participants in the Puerto Rican infant sample. These follow-up data consisted largely of various measures of infant performance.

Focus on Youth (FOY) with ImPACT
  • Focus on Youth (FOY) with ImPACT

    Investigators: Bonita Stanton, MD, PhD, Jennifer Galbraith, PhD, Cherri Gardner, MA, Pam Drake, PhD, James Walker, Scott Martin, Teree Jerome, Suzanne Schrag, Sarah Stevens, Charlene Foster, & the CDC Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention

    Focus on Youth with Informed Parents and Children Together (ImPACT) is an HIV, STD and pregnancy prevention intervention for African-American youth ages 12–15. The intervention was updated from Focus on Kids, a community-university linked research and intervention program. The goal of Focus on Youth with ImPACT is to reduce the risk of HIV infection among youth. The researchers, led by principle investigator Bonita Stanton, M.D., worked with community members from recreation centers, housing developments, schools and government agencies in settings throughout the U.S. to reach this goal. The evaluation of the combined Focus on Kids and ImPACT interventions met the necessary criteria for the interventions identified as interventions with best evidence of efficacy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) Project. Focus on Kids alone was identified as an intervention with promising evidence. This Focus on Youth with ImPACT edition provides updated information and more tools to facilitate implementation and increase the relevance of the program for African-American youth between ages 12 and 15 who are at risk for HIV infection. ImPACT is a 90-minute HIV prevention program for parents of African-American adolescents used in combination with Focus on Youth. ImPACT is delivered to parents/guardians and youth, one family at a time, by a health educator. It consists of basic HIV information, a culturally appropriate video documentary that stresses parental monitoring and communication, a discussion with the health educator, two guided roleplays, a parent/guardian resource guide, and a condom demonstration. It was guided by parental monitoring theory and theory of parenting (passive, authoritarian and authoritative).

Go Grrrls
  • Go Grrrls

    Investigators: Craig W. LeCroy, MSW, PhD, & Janice Daley, MSW

    Go Grrrls is a program designed to promote healthy psychosocial development in female adolescents. Building a foundation of information and skills that related to middle school females is a core feature of the program. The program is not just a pregnancy prevention program but a program about empowering adolescent females with pregnancy prevention as one core part. All of the units in the program work together to create the context and motivation for taking actions that can prevent teen pregnancy. The program has been delivered to girls in grades six through nine and is expected to occur as a series of 8 units held outside of traditional school hours. The 8-unit curriculum covers six topics related to female adolescent development: being a girl in today's society (gender role identity), establishing a positive self-image, establishing independence, making and keeping friends, when it all seems like too much (learning to obtain help and find access to resources), and planning for the future. Sessions are expected to last 90-120 minutes and occur once per week. They are made up of groups of 6-11 female adolescents, led by two group facilitators with appropriate interest, background knowledge (e.g., social work or psychology), and past experience working with young people. The sessions include didactic instruction, class discussion, group exercises, completion of worksheets, role-playing, and weekly journal assignments. The Go Grrrls program materials include a Go Grrrls curriculum guide for group leaders and a Go Grrrls workbook for use by group attendees. In addition, the program developers offer one-day trainings for group leaders on topics such as an introduction to Go Grrrls and female adolescent development, being a group leader, and advanced topics related to leading a Go Grrrls group.

Growth of American Families, 1960
  • Growth of American Families, 1960

    Investigators: Arthur A. Campbell, Pascal K. Whelpton, and John E. Patterson

    This study gathered data on topics such as births and miscarriages, sterility, the use of contraception, and the desired and expected number of children from 3,322 women. The sample consisted of white wives, nonwhite wives, and white women no longer married. One important purpose of this study was to see how well married women interviewed in 1955 (DAAPPP Data Set No. 41) had predicted the number of children that women like themselves would have in the 1955- 60 period. This study also explored more thoroughly certain topics that received only brief attention in the 1955 survey, e.g., a couple's ability to have children and their success in using contraceptives. For the first time, some data on family planning attitudes and practices of nonwhite couples were obtained.

Growth of American Families: Married Women, 1955
  • Growth of American Families: Married Women, 1955

    Investigators: Arthur A. Campbell, Pascal K. Whelpton, and John E. Patterson

    The Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan gathered data from married women on topics such as births and miscarriages, sterility, the use of contraception, and the desired number of children. One of the main purposes of the study was to gather information that would help to improve forecasts of numbers of births in the U.S. Interviews were conducted with 2,713 white married women aged 18 to 39, living with their husbands or temporarily separated due to the husband's service in the armed forces. The sample was restricted to white women due to the researchers' limited resources for the field work. Young single women also were interviewed to determine their ideas on marriage and desired family size. The data on the single women are archived as DAAPPP Data Set No. 42. 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.

Growth of American Families: Single Women, 1955
  • Growth of American Families: Single Women, 1955

    Investigators: Arthur A. Campbell, Pascal K. Whelpton, and John E. Patterson

    A survey of 254 young single women aged 18 to 24 was conducted to determine ideas on marriage and desired family size. The gathered data enable comparisons to be made between the study's sample of single women and the sample of married women (DAAPPP Data Set No. 41). The single women were asked a large number of open-ended questions that were more exploratory than hypothesis- testing in purpose. The interview inquired about girlfriends' family-building probabilities, best age for marriage, ideal number of children, and other marriage and family-related issues. The sample was restricted to white women due to the researchers' limited resources for field work. 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.
