MAJOR NORC STUDIES
Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) Project Director, Triennial
Surveys, 2001-present. Sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board, the
SCF is conducted every three years. NORC has collected these data
since 1992. U.S. households are surveyed to determine their
financial characteristics and behavior; to provide guidance to
policy makers concerned with unemployment, inflation, interest
rates, and saving; and to calculate wealth accumulation in the
nation. These data are collected using a dual-frame sample: a
national area probability sample of households and a list sample
known to include a high proportion of high-income households.
Making Connections Project Director, 2001-present. Multi-year,
in-person and telephone data collection in poor urban neighborhoods
in ten U.S. cities. This project is centerpiece of Annie E. Casey
Foundation’s multi-faceted effort to improve the life chances of
vulnerable children by
-
helping strengthen families and neighborhoods. NORC and its
subcontractor The Urban Institute are conducting all phases of
survey design, implementation and data analysis. Periodic and
ongoing data deliveries. Three rounds of data have been collected
and delivered; data users’ workshops conducted 2009-2013. Providing
technical assistance to those currently conducting analyses.
The Survey of Economically Successful Americans and the Common
Good (SESA) Project Director 2010-2013. NORC identified and helped
to test the goodness of fit of the sample frame and advised on
questionnaire content and design. The project aims to understand
the political influence of the wealthy, their philanthropic
engagement, and their attitudes and beliefs regarding a range of
public policy issues.
Houston Foreclosure Survey, Co-PI, 2009 – 2011. This panel study
of residents notified that their house will be foreclosed will help
to inform policy makers on factors contributing to foreclosure and
outcomes of foreclosed-upon households after foreclosure. The study
aims to explore individual consumption patterns that could have
contributed to the current housing, and more general economic,
situation and the role policy played in consumer behaviors.
Housing Transformation Surveys, Project Director, 2002-2011. For
the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Chicago
Housing Authority (CHA), NORC is designing and conducting a series
of surveys (baseline and follow-up) of public housing residents who
are being relocated to alternative housing as part of a major urban
transformation initiative in the metropolitan area. Sample design,
questionnaire design, locating, cognitive interviews, in-person
surveys with adults and youth, validation, links to administrative
datasets, and client reports. Four rounds of interviews and reports
have been completed to date.
The Housing and Neighborhood Study Corporate Oversight, 2010.
This pilot for the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and
Development will collect data from one treatment and two control
groups to evaluate subsidized housing in NYC. This evaluation is
part of The New Housing Marketplace Plan (NHMP) an ambitious 7.5
billion dollar plan to fund the creation and preservation of more
than 165,000 homes and apartments over a ten year period in NYC. It
is the largest municipal housing project in the nation’s
history.
American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Project Director, 2001-2003.
Conducted by NORC for the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The Bureau is collecting systematic data on time use in
America through a telephone survey in which respondents are asked
about how they used their time on a designated day. The time diary
is an interviewer-administered open-ended questionnaire on the
respondent’s activities on the designated day. NORC conducted a
cognitive test of the time diary with both English- and
Spanish-speaking respondents. NORC also conducted a pretest in
which the effects of having respondents use an advance diary was
studied. In this pretest, half the respondents received by mail a
diary to complete on a designated day. This diary served as a
memory aid while completing the time diary during the telephone
interview. The other half received no diary but completed the same
telephone interview. The diary did not improve data quality.
Survey of Small Business Finances (SSBF). Project Director,
1998-2000. This is a study sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board
and is the third in a series, conducted every five years, to
examine small business’ access to credit. NORC screened 36,000
businesses for eligibility and conduct interviews with a national
sample of 6,000 business owners; this survey includes an oversample
of African American, Asian and Hispanic owned business. NORC
conducted a methodology study, which included cognitive interviews
and focus groups, in addition to two
-
pretests, to help inform changes to the questionnaire and the
development of survey protocols and procedures.
Comprehensive Data Collection and Support Services for the
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Telephone
Task Leader, 1998-2002. Under a general tasking agreement with
ATSDR that has been in place since 1992, NORC conducts studies that
evaluate the relationship between exposure to hazardous substances
and adverse health outcomes, including health investigations,
surveillances, registries, and analytic epidemiologic surveys. Each
of the task orders is rapid turnaround, often requiring the studies
to be fielded within 48 hours to 2 weeks of task order
notification.
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), Medical Provider Survey
Component. Project Director, 1997-2000. The large-scale MEPS survey
continues the series of medical expenditure studies sponsored by
the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and collects data
from a nationally representative sample of about 36,000 persons in
15,280 households. Data are collected on the medical care use and
expenditure patterns of families, followed by interviews with
medical providers and employers and other sources of health
insurance for these families.
For the Medical Provider Survey (MPS) Component, NORC, collects
data from office-based providers nominated by the household
respondents. The first wave of the MPS obtained an 88 percent
response rate from a sample of 7,500 members of this hard-to-survey
population. The second wave of the MPS also obtained an 88 percent
response rate from a sample of 7,700 office-based physicians.
National Study of Health and Life Experiences of Women and Their
Partners. Project Director, 1996-1997. This is a longitudinal study
conducted every five years to examine the long-range effects of
alcohol use and abuse among women. During the third round, the
study was expanded to include the partners of women as well as the
women themselves. NORC located and interviewed a sample of 712
women who were interviewed in the 1991 survey, along with 369 of
their spouses and partners. In 1996 these women were between 25 and
54 years old. Some were from the original sample; others from a new
cohort introduced in 1991. NORC also was responsible for developing
and pretesting the questionnaire.
Twin Study of Vulnerability to Alcoholism. Project Director,
1996-1998. The Harvard Twin Study, using data from the Vietnam Era
Twin (VET) Registry, demonstrated that vulnerability to alcohol
abuse has a significant genetic influence. This research builds on
previous work by identifying the biological and psychological
factors that mediate this genetic influence and characterize their
mechanism(s). Four hundred twin pairs were randomly selected from
among 1,356 twin pairs interviewed in a previous study who did not
serve in Vietnam during the war. The twins were transported to
participating sites at Boston or Davis, California, to be evaluated
using putative vulnerability indicators, selected from the
following domains: (a) neuropsychological; (b) psychophysiological
functioning; (c) psychopathology; and (d) personality and behavior.
Data were gathered from 200 MZ and 200 DZ twin pairs.
Process Evaluation of Title I of the 1994 Crime Act 1 (Community
Oriented Policing Services [COPS]). Project Director, Wave 1, 1997.
Funded by the National Institute of Justice, this was a three-wave
CATI study of police chiefs to ascertain implementation of and
compare perspectives on community oriented policing services. NORC
developed and tested the survey instruments, and collected data
from a national list sample of whom three-fourths were grantees and
one-fourth were non-grantees.
-
Nationwide Survey of Public Attitudes on Gun Violence Issues.
Project Director, 1996-1997. Conducted for the Johns Hopkins Center
for Gun Policy Research and sponsored by the Joyce Foundation, this
was a nationwide survey to assess attitudes on gun violence issues.
A particular focus was on gun control laws and other public policy
aspects of the problem. Data were also collected on public
attitudes toward gun advertising and toward new gun safety
technology.
Gun Violence and Physician Experiences: A National Study.
Project Director, 1996. Conducted for the American College of
Physicians, this was a CATI survey of 2,062 physicians concerning
their experiences, knowledge, and attitudes about gun violence and
gun control policy.
Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B) First
Follow-up. Task Leader for Telephone Data Collection, 1993-1995.
Baccalaureate and Beyond was conducted for the U.S. Department of
Education. It follows a sample of students who graduated from
four-year colleges and universities in the academic year 1992-93,
as they move beyond colleges and universities into the world of
work or to graduate or professional education. This wave of the
study used CATI as its primary data collection mode, supplemented
by in-person interviews; it involved extensive use of automated
systems.
Resident Travel Cost Survey. Project Director, 1994. This study
was conducted for the Environmental Economics Research Group and
sponsored by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
This was a quick-turnaround CATI survey—only five weeks to set up
the questionnaire and collect and deliver the data. Residents in a
100-mile radius of the Tampa Bay area were surveyed using
random-digit-dialing (RDD) to find out about their use of salt
water (fishing, boating, and swimming).
SF-36 Health Status Survey. Project Director, 1995. This study
was conducted for Eli Lilly. The SF-36 instrument was administered
by telephone to 650 subjects recruited at four sites (two in Boston
and two in Indianapolis).
1993 and 1994 Annual Metro Chicago Surveys. Project Director,
1992-1994. Conducted for the Metro Chicago Information Center,
these were omnibus surveys of Chicagoans in the six-county
metropolitan area, to gather information on a variety of public
interest issues. Data were collected by CATI from an RDD
sample.
Survey of Physicians about the Medicare Program and Fee
Schedule. Telephone Center Director, 1993-1994. Sponsored by the
Physician Payment Review Commission, this survey sought to collect
information about physicians’ understanding of and experience with
the Medicare Fee Schedule and Volume Performance Standards.
Specifically, 1,000 physicians were asked about their experience
with different payers, including Medicare; changes in practice
patterns; their understanding of the Medicare Fee Schedule and
Volume Performance Standards; problems they had experienced with
the fee schedule; and coding and payment for visits and
consultations. These data were obtained through a 20-minute
interview via CATI.
National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88).
Telephone Center Director, 1988-1992; Task Leader for Telephone
Data Collection, 1992-1994. Sponsored by the National Center for
Education Statistics of the US Department of Education, NELS:88 is
a longitudinal national probability sample of eighth graders in the
United States. It also encompasses parents, teachers, and
principals of selected students; over 60,000 respondents were
surveyed in the base year (1988). The second follow-up surveyed
respondents in their senior year, as they left high school and
prepared to
-
pursue higher education, enter the work place, and start
families; the third follow-up collected data from them two years
later, when they were young adults.
High School and Beyond (HS&B) Fourth Follow-Up Survey.
Telephone Center Director, 1992-1993. Sponsored by the National
Center for Education Statistics of the US Department of Education,
HS&B began in 1980 with a survey of 58,000 high school seniors
and sophomores. Samples of both the senior and sophomore cohorts of
this initial population were then resurveyed at two-year intervals
through 1986. The 15,000 respondents surveyed during the fourth
follow-up were a sample of the members of the sophomore cohort. The
fourth follow-up investigated persistence in postsecondary
education and the attainment of postsecondary degrees, collected
labor histories, and allowed comparison between the experiences of
individuals who finished high school and those of individuals who
did not. Data were collected using CATI. The fourth follow-up also
collected and coded postsecondary education transcripts.
Evaluation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Telephone
Center Director, 1987-1991. A five-year, Congressionally-mandated,
evaluative experiment conducted in selected JTPA Service Delivery
Areas for the US Department of Labor under a subcontract with Abt
Associates. The JTPA Evaluation baseline experiment (1987-1989)
tracked and compared the activities of persons who participated in
JTPA training programs (the treatment group) and those who did not
(the control group). Approximately 20,600 respondents were selected
for the experiment; two-thirds were assigned to the treatment group
and one-third to the control group. NORC’s role for the JTPA
baseline included collecting data in four sites from members of the
control group and for 3,000 eligible nonparticipants (ENPs). Data
were collected using CATI and through personal interviews as
appropriate. NORC also conducted listing in the Service Delivery
Areas. The JTPA first follow-up survey (1989-1990) sought data on
the activities of all 23,600 respondents through computer-assisted
telephone interviews, with in-person interviews employed as
appropriate. A second follow-up was conducted in 1991. Responsible
for supervising the systems design, implementation, and functioning
for both the baseline experiment and the first follow-up.
1990 National Survey of Functional Health Status. Telephone
Center Director, 1990. This survey sought to obtain national
normative data on the questionnaire used in prior studies and to
explore how measures of quality of life and other social factors
relate to the health care status and well-being of the elderly. The
nationally representative sample included 2,909 respondents to
NORC’s 1989 and 1990 General Social Survey (GSS) augmented by 342
elderly. Methodological comparisons between telephone and mail
administration were conducted.
Medical Professionals’ Attitudes Toward AIDS. Survey Director,
1990. Conducted for John Colombotos of the Columbia University
School of Public Health, and funded by the National Institutes of
Health, this study collected data from a national sample of 1,200
physicians and 1,500 nurses in 25 states and the District of
Columbia. It provided useful information for the development of
AIDS education programs for health care workers, and will have an
impact on the formulation and implementation of policies dealing
with mandatory testing, antidiscrimination laws, and other key
issues. This was a mail and telephone survey with mail and
telephone follow-up. Responsible for telephone data collection.
1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES-2). Associate
Project Director, Health Insurance Plan Survey, 1987-1989. NMES-2
was conducted under subcontract to Westat, Inc., for the National
Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology
Assessment (NCHSR) and the Health Care Financing Administration
(HCFA), US Department of Health and
-
Human Services. This study measured use of and expenditures for
medical care in 1987 through multiple components, some of which
were linked, including a five-round survey of 14,000 households,
representing the civilian non-institutionalized population, and a
survey of direct care providers in 700 nursing homes and 775 homes
for the mentally retarded regarding the health care services
provided to approximately 11,000 individuals residing in those
institutions and relatives of these individuals. Also included were
surveys of 14,500 employers, unions, or insurers, and 14,000
medical providers. Responsible for Health Insurance Plan Survey
data collection.
Follow-Up to the Survey of Physicians’ Practice Costs and
Incomes. Survey Director, 1987-1988. Sponsored jointly by the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the Health Care
Finance Administration, this study collected information across a
number of specialty groupings on the time and complexity involved
in performing medical procedures, malpractice costs, and whether
the respondents had signed or planned to sign the Medicare
Physician Participation Agreement. Responsible for data
collection.
