Data project
The CPS is the U.S. Government's monthly survey of unemployment and labor force participation. The BLS maintains a CPS Home Page with a great deal of information about the survey and the Census Bureau provides access to downloads of recent data. The CPS basic monthly files contain information on labor force status but do not contain the full income and demographic data contained in the March supplements, nor do they contain usual hours or wages except for the households in the outgoing rotation group. A housing unit in the CPS is interviewed for four consecutive months and then dropped out of the sample for the next eight months and is brought back in the following four months. So, in any given month, one-eighth of the housing units are interviewed for the first month. When the system has been in operation for a full year, four of the eight rotation groups for any month will have been in the survey for the same month, one year ago. Matching information and Stata .do files from NBER Working Paper T0247 by B. Madrian and L. J. Lefgren are available for March-to-March Annual Demographic File matches but can be modified for use in matching CPS Basic Monthly Data. Census Technical Paper such as 66 and 63 contains more information about Design and Methodology.

NPORS is an annual, cross-sectional survey of U.S. adults. Respondents can answer by paper, online or over the phone, and they are selected using address-based sampling from the United States Postal Service’s Computerized Delivery Sequence File. The response rate to the latest NPORS was 32%, and previous years’ surveys were designed with a similarly rigorous approach.
Data project
Democracy Checkup surveys gather information about the opinions of Canadians when election campaigns are not activating their interest and/or partisan attitudes, and capture general public opinion about democratic values, public policies, and current issues.

Despite global progress in childhood vaccination coverage, fragile and humanitarian countries, with high burden of infectious diseases, continue to report a significant number of zero-dose and under-vaccinated children. Efforts to equitably reach zero-dose children remain thus critical. This study assesses the prevalence and determinants of zero-dose children in fragile context of Somalia. We used secondary data from 2020 Somali Health and Demographic Survey (SHDS) to determine status of unvaccinated children aged between 12 to 23 months. Variables related to socio-demographic, household, health seeking, and community level factors were extracted from the SHDS data. Variables that were shown to be significantly associated with zero-dose children at p< 0.05 in the single logistic regression analysis were identified and included in a final multiple logistic regression analysis. A total of 2,304 women and their children aged between 12–23 months were used to determine the prevalence and determinants of zero dose children in Somalia. Approximately 60.2% of the children were zero dose children and did not receive any dose of the four basic routine vaccines. Children living in rural and nomadic areas were more likely to be zero dose (aOR 1.515, 95% CI: 1.189–1.93). Mother with primary education and above (aOR 0.519, 95% CI: 0.371–0.725), those who attended antenatal care (aOR 0.161, 95% CI: 0.124–0.209) and postnatal care (aOR 0.145, 95% CI: 0.085–0.245) and listen frequently to radio (aOR 2.212, 95% CI: 1.106–4.424) were less likely to have children with zero dose than with their counterparts. Majority of children under two years of age in Somalia are reported to be zero dose children. Context and population specific interventions that target vulnerable mothers and their children, in rural and nomadic areas, and from lower wealth quintile index families with no education and adequate access to antenatal and postnatal care remain critical.

The Weather and Environmental Services (WES) Board of Environment Canada has a mandate to provide Canadians with world class meteorological and environmental information, predictions and services to ensure safety, ecosystem sustainability and enhanced economic activity. In 1997 and 2002, the MSC conducted national public opinion surveys to assess Canadians’ needs, usage, satisfaction and expectations concerning the weather products and services it provides. In spring 2007, the WES Board commissioned EKOS Research Associates Inc. to conduct another survey, to measure the public’s satisfaction with certain of its products and services (including “weatheroffice” and Weatheradio Canada) and determine what additional meteorological products and services the public wants. The methodology for this study involved conducting a 20-minute telephone survey with some 4,100 respondents drawn from the general Canadian population. The sample included all provinces and territories and was administered in English and French.
