Investigators: Murray A. Straus

This data file includes macro-level data from the 50 states on 55 variables including: Percentages of households receiving aid of some sort, crimes committed by gender, political offices held by race, and marital status by age. Data were compiled from several public and private surveys and publications. 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.

Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health, Pilot Study, 2005

Investigators: World Health Organization

The World Health Organization (WHO) Multi-Country Studies unit developed the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) as part of a Longitudinal Survey Program to compile comprehensive longitudinal information on the health and well being of adult populations. The primary objectives of the SAGE survey program are: To obtain reliable, valid and comparable health, health-related and well-being data over a range of key domains for adult and older adult populations in nationally representative samples; To examine patterns and dynamics of age-related changes in health and well-being using longitudinal follow-up of a cohort as they age, and to investigate socio-economic consequences of these health changes; To supplement and cross-validate self-reported measures of health and the anchoring vignette approach to improving comparability of self-reported measures, through measured performance tests for selected health domains; and To collect health examination and biomarker data that improves reliability of morbidity and risk factor data and to objectively monitor the effect of interventions. Additional objectives include: To generate large cohorts of older adult populations and comparison cohorts of younger populations for following-up intermediate outcomes, monitoring trends, examining transitions and life events, and addressing relationships between determinants and health, well-being and health-related outcomes; To develop a mechanism to link survey data to demographic surveillance site data; To build linkages with other national and multi-country ageing studies; To improve the methodologies to enhance the reliability and validity of health outcomes and determinants data; and To provide a public-access information base to engage all stakeholders, including national policy makers and health systems planners, in planning and decision-making processes about the health and well-being of older adults. The SAGE study collects data on respondents aged 18+ years, with an emphasis on populations aged 50+ years, from nationally representative samples in six countries: China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation and South Africa. The SAGE questionnaire was piloted in over 1500 respondents in Ghana, India and Tanzania in 2005.

Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)

Investigators: United States Census Bureau

The main objective of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is to provide accurate and comprehensive information about income and program participation of individuals and households in the United States, and about the principal determinants of income and program participation. SIPP offers detailed information on cash and noncash income on a sub annual basis. The survey also collects data on taxes, assets, liabilities, and participation in government transfer programs. SIPP data allow the government to evaluate the effectiveness of federal, state, and local programs.

TOTAL: Bullying Prevention Program for Grade 5-12 Classrooms

Investigators: Anya Drabkin, Sheena Reddy, Julie Solomon, Lucy Baden, & Josefina J. Card

TOTAL, the Teacher-Targeted Online Tolerance and Anti-Bullying Library, provides information and tools to enable educators to develop crucial knowledge and skills to prevent bullying in schools and to implement a brief anti-bullying program in their classroom. The TOTAL Bullying Prevention Program is a 5-session in-class curriculum based on the evidence concerning what works to prevent bullying among middle and high school students. Program sessions include an outline with step-by-step instructions for implementing activities, and all associated materials (e.g., worksheets, factsheets, case studies). The program sessions follow the TOTAL approach, including comprehensive strategies that target the whole school community, classroom, and student. The TOTAL product was funded by grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). A video overview of the TOTAL Bullying Prevention Program can be found here.
