Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys [LAMAS] 9, 1974

The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys [LAMAS] 9, 1974 collection reflects data gathered in 1974 as part of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Surveys (LAMAS). The LAMAS, beginning in the spring of 1970, were a shared-time omnibus survey of Los Angeles community members, usually repeated twice annually. The LAMAS were conducted ten times between 1970 and 1976 in an effort to develop a set of standard community profile measures appropriate for use in the planning and evaluation of public policy.
The LAMAS instruments, indexes, and scales were used to track the development and course of social indicators (including social, psychological, health, and economic variables) and the impact of public policy on the community. Questions in this survey covered respondents' attitudes toward the following topics: health care services in the community, financial well-being, local government politics, drinking and driving, views of President Gerald Ford, migration, and psychological well-being. Participating researchers were given the option of submitting questions to be asked in addition to the core items. These additional question topics included: medical care, health, and personal values.
Demographic variables in this dataset include age, sex, education, marital status, household size, income, race, ethnicity, geographic origin, and housing type.
