The Quality of Retrospective Data
Megan Beckett, Julie Da Vanzo, Narayan Sastry, Constantijn Panis, Christine Peterson, The Quality of Retrospective Data: An Examination of Long-Term Recall in a Developing Country, The Journal of Human Resources, Vol. 36, No. 3 (Summer, 2001), pp. 593-625
Reversal of the decline in breastfeeding in Peninsular Malaysia? Ethnic and educational differentials and data quality issues
Data from the First and Second Malaysian Family Life Surveys in 1976 and 1988, respectively, are analyzed to examine long-term trends in breastfeeding in Peninsular Malaysia, educational and ethnic differences therein, and the quality of retrospective data on infant feeding. The steady decrease between the mid-1950's and mid-1970's in breastfeeding was reversed to become a nearly monotonic increase since 1975. Part of the change is attributable t…
The Second Malaysian Family Life Survey
The data from the Second Malaysian Family Life Survey (MFLS-2) provide a rich but complex database. This User's Guide describes the MFLS-2 data structure and presents detailed descriptions of the variety of information available, and how it can be put together. This Guide is meant to be a companion to the MFLS-2 Codebook and provides guidelines on how to build analysis files from the data.
The Second Malaysian Family Life Survey
This document discusses the purpose, design, fieldwork, and response rates for the Second Malaysian Family Life Survey (MFLS-2), carried out in Peninsular Malaysia in 1988-1989. MFLS-2 was, in part, a follow-up to the original Malaysian Family Life Survey, fielded in 1976-1977, reinterviewing original respondents and their adult children, plus interviewing a new group of women age 15-49 in 1988. Both surveys produced household-level retrospective…
Why are teenagers in the United States less likely to breast-feed than older women
Teenage mothers are much less likely than older mothers to breastfeed their infants. The lower breastfeeding rate among teenagers aged 16–19, compared with women aged 20–29, is due almost entirely to the fact that teenage mothers tend to have characteristics associated with a lower likelihood of breastfeeding among all women, such as lower educational level, lower income, and being unmarried. Even so, nearly 40% of the difference between teenage …
Who Stays Who Leaves? Attrition Among First-Term Enlistees
Typically, 30 percent of an enlisting cohort leave before completing the first term, and attrition rates remain near this level even though over 90 percent of recent cohorts are high school graduates. This paper uses individual-level data to analyze attrition among high school graduates who enlisted in spring 1979. To control for selectivity bias, enlistment is analyzed jointly with attrition. Three variables observable at the time of enlistment …
