NLSY79 Appendix 19: SF-12 Health Scale Scoring

The SF-12, which stands for short-form 12-question, is a brief inventory of self-reported mental and physical health. This scale was administered to respondents who had turned 40 since their last interview as part of the age 40+ health module, included in the 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006 surveys, and in the 50+ health module administered in the 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 surveys.

NLSY79 Appendix 15: Recipiency Event History Data

The NLSY79 surveys have solicited information about program recipiency since the first round in 1979. Methods used to collect information about program recipiency from 1979-1992 and from 1993 to the present differed. These methods are described below. The variables found in the RECIPIENT MONTH and RECIPIENT YEAR areas of interest have been constructed to provide users with a more straightforward sequence of variables containing monthly and yearly receipt amounts (if any) and flags for the survey year in which the data was reported.

NLSY79 Appendix 14: Instrument Rosters

Instrument Rosters

In the paper and pencil (PAPI) questionnaires administered from 1979-1992, basic information about specific types of subjects (household members, children, etc.) was often recorded in a table or grid structure, and subsequently stored in a similar format. With computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), expanded electronic versions of these grids and tables were implemented.

NLSY79 Appendix 13: Intro to CAPI Questionnaires and Codebooks

This appendix details the development of the NLSY79 questionnaires and codebooks.

NLSY79 Appendix 12: Most Important Job Learning Activities (1993-94)

Respondents were asked in 1993 and in 1994 to identify the activities most important in helping them to learn how to perform their current or most recent job duties, and in helping them to learn about how work place changes would affect their jobs.

 

NLSY79 Appendix 11: Round 12 (1990) Survey Administration Methods

Round 12 of the NLSY79 survey incorporated a large-scale experiment involving comparison between PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interviewing) and CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) methods of interviewing, in anticipation of a possible conversion to CAPI-only data collection in the future.
