Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of the Lifestyles and Values of Youth, 1978

This is the fourth annual survey in this series that
explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle
orientations of contemporary American youth. The students are randomly
assigned one of five questionnaires, each with a different subset of
topical questions but all containing a set of "core" questions on
demographics and drug use. There are about 1,300 variables across the
questionnaires. Full details on the research design and procedures,
sampling methodology, content areas, and questionnaire design, as well
as percentage distributions by respondent's sex, race, region, college
plans, and drug use, appear in the annual Institute for Social
Research volumes MONITORING THE FUTURE: QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES FROM
THE NATION'S HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.
