Statistical Datasets in category R0: Health and Health Care Facilities
The National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N-SSATS) is designed to collect information from all
facilities in the United States, both public and
private, that provide substance abuse treatment. N-SSATS provides the mechanism
for quantifying the dynamic character and composition of the United States substance abuse
treatment delivery system. The objectives of N-SSATS are to collect
multipurpose data that can be used to assist the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and state and local governments in
assessing the nature and extent of services provided and in forecasting
treatment resource requirements, update SAMHSA's
Inventory of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (I-SATS), analyze general
treatment services trends, and generate the National Directory of Drug and
Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs and its online Abuse Treatment Facility
Locator equivalent, the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator: http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov.
Data are collected on topics including ownership, services offered, primary
focus (substance abuse, mental health, both, general health, other), hotline
operation, methadone/LAAM dispensing, languages in which treatment is provided,
type of treatment provided, number of clients (total and under age 18), number
of beds, types of payment accepted, sliding fee scale, special programs
offered, facility accreditation and licensure/certification, and managed care
agreements. N-SSATS was formerly titled the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS).

This study comprises the third round of the
physician survey component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS). The CTS is a large-scale
investigation of changes in the health care system and their effects on people.
Central to the design of the CTS is its community
focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan
areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be
representative of the nation as a whole. As in the first two rounds of the
physician survey (COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1996-1997: [UNITED
STATES] (ICPSR 2597) and COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1998-1999:
[UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 3267)), the third round was administered to physicians
in the 60 CTS sites and to a
supplemental national sample of physicians. The survey instrument collected
information on physician supply and specialty distribution, practice
arrangements and physician ownership of practices, physician time allocation,
sources of practice revenue, level and determinants of physician compensation, provision
of charity care, career satisfaction, physicians' perceptions of their ability
to deliver care, effects of care management strategies, and various other
aspects of physicians' practice of medicine. Part 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, identifies
the counties that constitute each CTS site. Part 4,
Physician Survey Summary File, contains site-level estimates and standard
errors for selected physician characteristics, e.g., the average age of
physicians, the percentage of physicians who were either very or somewhat
dissatisfied with their overall career in medicine, and the average percentage
of patients with prescription coverage that included the use of a formulary.

This study comprises the second round of the
physician survey component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS). The CTS is a national study
designed to track changes in the health care system and the effects of the
changes on care delivery and on individuals. Central to the design of the CTS is its community
focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan
areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be
representative of the nation as a whole. As in the first round of the physician
survey (COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1996-1997: [UNITED STATES]
(ICPSR 2597)), the second round was administered to physicians in the 60 CTS sites and to a
supplemental national sample of physicians. The survey instrument collected
information on physician supply and specialty distribution, practice
arrangements and physician ownership of practices, physician time allocation,
sources of practice revenue, level and determinants of physician compensation,
provision of charity care, career satisfaction, physicians' perceptions of
their ability to deliver care, views on effects of care management strategies,
and various other aspects of physicians' practice of medicine. For primary care
physicians (PCPs), the instrument also provided vignettes of clinical
presentations for which there was no prescribed method of treatment. PCPs were
asked to state the percentage of patients for whom they would recommend the
course of action specified in each particular vignette. Part 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, identifies
the counties that constitute each site. Part 4, Physician Survey Summary File,
contains site-level estimates and standard errors for selected physician
characteristics, e.g., the percentage of physicians who were foreign medical
school graduates, the mean age of physicians, and the mean percentage of
patient care practice revenue from Medicaid.

Investigators compared 355 cocaine-exposed
infants born in a large, publicly funded inner-city hospital with a random
sample of 199 non-exposed infants born in the same hospital to examine the
added neonatal cost and length of hospital stay associated with fetal cocaine
exposure. Between September 1, 1985 and August 31, 1986, all newborn infants
were screened by urine test for illicit substances, and medical records were
reviewed for maternal histories of substance abuse. The cocaine-exposed group
consisted of all single live births who were
identified by either maternal history or infant urine assay. The control group
was comprised of single live births for whom no drug
use history was indicated by either maternal history or infant urine test.
Investigators assessed a total of 129 variables across 554 cases. Outcome
measures included the cost and length of stay for each infant until medically
cleared for hospital discharge, as well as the cost and length of stay for each
infant until actual discharge from the hospital.
These data were acquired from the The Maternal Drug Abuse Data Archive (MDA) of Sociometrics Corporation. The collection was established
with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

The 1991 Longitudinal Follow-up to the 1988
National Maternal and Infant Health Survey (NMIHS) was conducted by the National Center for Health
Statistics. The 1991 Follow-up study examines such factors as child health
status and development, the effects of low birth weight, use of federal
programs, child safety, child injury, child care, pediatric care, maternal
health, sociodemographic characteristics, acute and
chronic illness, and health insurance. The 1988 study examined factors relating
to poor pregnancy outcome, such as adequacy of prenatal care, inadequate or
excessive weight gain during pregnancy, maternal health behaviors such as
smoking, drinking and drug use, and pregnancy and delivery complications. The
1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey (NMIHS) is archived as RADIUS
data set #18-20.
These data were acquired from the The Research Archive on Disability in the U.S. 1999 Edition
(RADIUS), of Sociometrics Corporation. The collection
was established with funding from the National Center for Medical
Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) within the National Institute for Child Health
and Human Development (NICHD)

The 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health
Survey (NMIHS) was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS). This study examines child health status and development, use of federal
programs, child safety, child injury, child care, pediatric care, maternal
health, socio-demographic characteristics, acute and chronic illness, and
health insurance. Furthermore, the 1988 NMIHS examines factors related to poor
pregnancy outcomes, such as adequacy of prenatal care, inadequate or excessive
weight gain during pregnancy, maternal health behaviors such as smoking,
drinking and drug use, and pregnancy and delivery complications. This study is
a national sample of live births, fetal deaths, and infant deaths in 1988.
Furthermore, this study includes a supplementary sample of Hispanic live
births, fetal deaths, and infant deaths in Texas, and a supplementary
sample of live births for urban American Indians. These data can be linked to
RADIUS data sets #01-02 which are the 1991 Follow-up Live Birth Survey and 1991
Follow-up Medical Provider Surveys for this study. These studies assess
longitudinal outcomes for mothers and children between 1988 and 1991. The NMIHS
contains data on 28,334 mothers and their infants across 2,205 variables.
These data were acquired from the The Research Archive on Disability in the U.S. 1999 Edition
