Disclosure Standards for Social Media and Generative Artificial Intelligence Research
Social media dominate today's information ecosystem and provide valuable information for social research. Market researchers, social scientists, policymakers, government entities, public health researchers, and practitioners recognize the potential for social data to inspire innovation, support products and services, characterize public opinion, and guide decisions. The appeal of mining these rich datasets is clear. However, there is potential ri…
Where to Start
As address-based sampling becomes increasingly popular for multimode surveys, researchers continue to refine data-collection best practices. While much work has been conducted to improve efficiency within a given mode, additional research is needed on how multimode designs can be optimized across modes. Previous research has not evaluated the consequences of mode sequencing on multimode mail and phone surveys, nor has significant research been co…
Improving the Utility of the DSF Address-based Frame through Ancillary Information
Survey researchers have recently begun using the U.S. Postal Service Delivery Sequence File (DSF) as a sampling frame. In addition to address, the DSF contains ancillary data regarding the status and structure of the address. These ancillary data may prove useful in further enhancing frame construction and sampling methodologies. We review three variables on the DSF: the vacancy flag, the college flag, and the drop point indicator. We conclude th…
Using ICPSR Resources to Teach Sociology
The focus on quantitative literacy has been increasingly outside the realm of mathematics. The social sciences are well suited to including quantitative elements throughout the curriculum but doing so can mean challenges in preparation and presentation of material for instructors and increased anxiety for students. This paper describes tools and resources available through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) …

The widening gap
The widening gap: health inequalities and policy in Britain. Mary Shaw, Daniel Dorling, David Gordon, George Davey Smith. (Pp 267; £16.99.) The Policy Press. ISBN 1-86134-142-3. The Whitehall Study and Black Report, both of which originate in Britain, set the stage for most modern research on the link between social class or socioeconomic status and health and mortality. Both demonstrated a strong and clear connection between socioeconomic status…
Going upstream
This study explores the impact of income inequality on the health of children. We examine the direct effects of income inequality and the mediating effects of income inequality via poverty concentration at local levels. We use a multilevel study design incorporating individual level data from the 1988 Child Health Supplement to the National Health Interview Survey supplemented with aggregate data from the 1990 Census of Population STF3A economic/…
Socioeconomic status and injury mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study examined both individual and neighbourhood correlates of injury mortality to better understand the contribution of socioeconomic status to cause specific injury mortality. Of particular interest was whether neighbourhood effects remained after adjusting for individual demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status. DESIGN: Census tract data (measuring small area socioeconomic status, racial concentration, residen…

Neighborhood Social Context and Racial Differences in Women's Heart Disease Mortality
Compared to white women, black women experience similar rates of heart disease morbidity, but higher rates of heart disease mortality. This puzzling relationship may be due to several factors working at varied levels to affect each race. For example, the high heart disease mortality rate may be due to individual health or socioeconomic risk factors or to social structural factors. We conduct a multi-level analysis to address these issues, using d…
Family migration and changes in women's earnings
Ethnicity and Mortality in the United States
Ethnic gaps in mortality persist in the United States but the specific causes remain elusive. We propose a broader mortality framework that includes neighborhood characteristics that we test using data from a file that links the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from 1986 through 1990 with information from death certificates from the National Death Index (NDI), and additional census tract-level data from the 1990 Census STF-3A files. Cox pr…
Disability in the Family
In 1990, 33.7 million people in the United States were limited in their usual activities by a chronic health condition or impairment (Adams & Benson, 1991). Progress in medical technology has increased the number of babies born with disabling conditions who survive to adulthood and has lengthened life for the dependent elderly (Crimmins, Saito, & Ingegneri, 1989; Newachek & Taylor, 1992). The growth of the population with disabilities has increas…
Health Care Utilization, Family Context, and Adaptation Among Immigrants to the United States
We use the 1990 National Health Interview Survey supplement on Family Resources to examine the health care utilization patterns of immigrant and native-born adults in the United States. We modify a standard health care utilization framework by including duration of residence in the United States and measures of immigrant adaptation and family health context to model both the probability and number of physician contacts in the previous year. We fi…
The Effects of Metropolitan Residence on the Off-Farm Earnings of Farm Families in the United States1
Previous research on the effects of urbanization on farming and farm families has focused on the consequences of urban expansion on farming practice rather than on the well-being of farm families. Proximity to urban areas has been found to alter the way farm families utilize the nonfarm labor market. In this study, the off-farm earnings of husbands and wives in farm families are compared across metropolitan (metro) and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) …
Local Marriage Markets and the Marital Behavior of Black and White Women
Previous research has typically ignored the spatial dimension of marriage markets, focusing instead on highly aggregated data or on individual models of entry into marriage. A basic premise of this study is that national marriage rates are played out across local marriage-market areas that define female opportunities for marriage. Using local area data from the newly released 1980 Public Use Microdata Sample (D file), the article provides a direc…
Household extension and reproductive behaviour in Taiwan
The influence of household type on reproductive behaviour is examined for a national probability sample of Taiwanese women. In spite of remarkable social and economic development over the past three decades, extended families are still widely found in Taiwan. Women in extended households have only slightly higher fertility preferences and current fertility than women in nuclear families once marital duration is controlled. Although women in exten…
