Secondary Analysis of Survey Data
This volume presents strategies for locating survey data and provides a comprehensive guide to US social science data archives, describing several major data files. Although the data sets are American, the techniques are widely applicable.
Health Surveys and Related Studies
This review describes the statistics of health care derived from non-routine sources. The chapter on need describes local and national population studies and general morbidity surveys as well as covering a range of specific problem studies. Statistics reflecting unmet demand are described as they relate to the various stages of medical care from primary medical to patient care. Resources are described in statistics of facilities as well as the various classes of manpower employed, and the uses of services chapter covers all community and hospital services. Studies which evaluate medical care are divided into those which reflect accessibility and acceptability as well as outcome of care and satisfaction of patients, families and staff. An introduction contains a discussion on the application of statistics and the concluding chapter looks towards a future unified health information system.

British Election Study
The EEC Referendum Survey is part of a continuing series of surveys of the British electorate, begun at Nuffield College, Oxford, in 1963 and continued at the University of Essex. British electors responded to a postal questionnaire relating to their vote on the referendum taken in Spring 1974, about Britain's entry into the Common Market.

Surveying Subjective Phenomena
In January 1980 a panel of distinguished social scientists and statisticians assembled at the National Academy of Sciences to begin a thorough review of the uses, reliability, and validity of surveys purporting to measure such subjective phenomena as attitudes, opinions, beliefs, and preferences. This review was prompted not only by the widespread use of survey results in both academic and non-academic settings, but also by a proliferation of apparent discrepancies in allegedly equivalent measurements and by growing public concern over the value of such measurements. This two-volume report of the panel's findings is certain to become one of the standard works in the field of survey measureme...
