National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle II. Standardized Micro-Data Tape Transcript. Tape Contents Manual, Interval File

摘要

The National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle II was conducted in 1976 by Westat, Inc., under contract to the National Center for Health Statistics. Home interviews were conducted with 8,611 women 15-44 years of age who were married, previously married, or single with offspring in the household. The data have been used by the National Center for Health Statistics as the basis for a series of reports on the determinants and consequences of patterns of family formation and fertility in the United States. To make the data available to a larger number of persons, a standardized micro-data tape transcript has been prepared for distribution. This Tape Documentation Manual describes that tape transcript; other items needed to use the tape transcript include the reel of magnetic tape containing the transcript itself and the interview schedule.
