AVAILABILITY OF DATA, CODEBOOKS, REPORTS AND PAPERS ON THE INTERNET

A World Wide Web site has been created for choice data and some reports and papers. Included are all data modules used for all reports, with electronic codebooks; the 1994 report; this report; and a paper by John Witte and Chris Thorn comparing the characteristics of public and private-school families in the State of Wisconsin and in the City of Milwaukee. Subsequent analyses and publications will be added to the site.

The Internet address of the site is:
