American Community Survey (ACS): Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS), 2005 The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities with a fresh look at how they are changing. It will replace the decennial long form in future censuses and is a critical element in the Bureau of the Census' re-engineered 2010 census. The decennial census has two parts, the short form, which counts the population, and the long form, which obtains demographic, housing, social and economic information from a 1-in-6 sample of households. The goals of the American Community Survey are to provide an information base to federal, state, and local governments for the administration and evaluation of their programs, to improve the 2010 Census, and to provide data users with timely demographic, housing, social, and economic data that can be compared across states, communities, and population groups. The American Community Survey will provide estimates of demographic, housing, social, and economic characteristics every year for all states, as well as for all cities, counties, metropolitan areas, and population groups. |

American Time Use Survey (ATUS), 2006 The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) collects information on how people living in the United States spend their time. Estimates show the kinds of activities people engage in and the time they spend involved in these activities by age, sex, educational attainment, labor force status, and other characteristics, as well as by weekday and weekend day. Data about the quality of life in the United States include how much time people spend working, sleeping, caring for children, volunteering, participating in religious activities, commuting, or relaxing, as well as with whom they spend their time. Information is provided about 'secondary childcare' which is defined as care for children under 13 that is done while doing something else as a primary activity. |

Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP), 1990-1996 The Comprehensive Child Development Program (CCDP) was implemented as a result of the Comprehensive Child Development Act, originally enacted by Congress in 1988 in an effort to increase the educational potential of young children from low-income families and to decrease the likelihood that they would be caught in the cycle of poverty. The CCDP was designed to provide intensive, comprehensive, integrated, and continuous support services for children from low-income families from birth, or before, through their entrance into elementary school, to enhance their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. Additionally, the CCDP was designed to offer support services for parents and other household family members to enhance their life management skills and economic self-sufficiency. More than 4,000 families from 24 community-based program sites across the nation were randomly selected to participate in either experimental or control groups in the CCDP study. |

National Survey of Children's Health, 2003 The National Survey of Children's Health, 2003, funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, is a module of the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The National Survey of Children's Health was designed to produce national and state-specific prevalence estimates for a variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral health indicators and measures of children?s experiences with the health care system. The survey was conducted to assess how well each State and the Nation as a whole met MCHB?s strategic plan goals and national performance measures. These goals include providing national leadership for maternal and child health, promoting an environment that supports maternal and child health eliminating health barriers and disparities, improving the health infrastructure and systems of care, assuring quality care, working with States and communities to plan and implement policies and programs to improve the social, emotional, and physical environment, and acquiring the best available evidence to develop and promote guidelines and practices to assure a social, emotional, and physical environment that supports the health and well-being of women and children. The NSCH addresses a variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral health indicators and measures of children?s health experiences with the health care system. The survey includes an extensive battery of questions about the family, including parental health, stress and coping behaviors, family activities, and parental concerns about their children. The NSCH also asks respondents for their perceptions of the child?s neighborhood. Demographic information collected includes race, gender, family income, and education level. |

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Child and Adolescent Behavior Rating Scale, Wave 3, 2000-2002 The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such measure was the Child and Adolescent Behavior Rating Scale. It obtained an interviewer rating of the behavior of all subjects in Cohorts 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12. It recorded the amount of time the interviewer spent observing the subject and whether this observation took place only during the interview with the subject or during the interview and at other times. The subject was also rated on various behaviors. This data collection is closely related to PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): CHILD AND ADOLESCENT BEHAVIOR RATING SCALE, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 (ICPSR 13610). |
