NSPY employed a panel survey design with four rounds of data collection for youth and parents between November 1999 and June 2004. Round 1 of the NSPY is the recruitment phase of the study. It consists of three cross-sectional survey periods lasting about six months each. About 81,000 dwelling units were selected for the sample in Round 1 and approximately 8,100 youths and 5,600 parents were interviewed. Rounds 2 through 4 are the follow-up phases of the study. Round 2 included about 6,400 households from which approximately 6,500 youths and 4,600 parents were interviewed. Round 3 included about 5,950 households from which approximately 5,850 youths and 4,250 parents were interviewed. Round 4 included about 4,600 1-4 Introduction households from which approximately 4,850 youths and 3,600 parents were interviewed. The data generated by this design can be analyzed both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The questionnaires were developed for Wave 1 of the National Survey of Parents and Youth and modified slightly for Wave 2. The Wave 2 versions are shown with footnotes to indicate where the Wave 1 instrument differed. There are four questionnaires. The first is a household screener. It comes in two parts. Part I was administered with paper and pencil, mostly at people's doorsteps. Its purpose was to establish the eligibility or ineligibility of a household. Part II of the screener was administered with a laptop computer. Its purpose was to select a sample of eligible youth and parents from each household. There are then three substantive questionnaires: one for children aged 9 to 11, one for adolescents and teens aged 12-18 (the "Teen" instrument), and one for parents. The child instrument is basically a shortened version of the teen instrument. It was made shorter because of the shorter attention spans of younger children and because of the difficulty of some of the concepts for them. The teen instrument covers the following topics: basic demographics; school and religion; media consumption; extra-curricular activities; personal usage of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; expectations for future use of marijuana; feelings of self-efficacy to resist future offers of marijuana use; knowledge of friends' and classmates' use of marijuana; receipt of marijuana offers; family functioning; antisocial behavior of self and friends; approval/disapproval and perceived risk of marijuana and inhalants; perceived ease of parental discussion on drugs and perceived parental reactions to personal drug use; past discussions about drugs with parents, friends, and others; awareness of drug-related media stories and advertising; recollection and assessment of specific Campaign-sponsored antidrug advertisements on television and radio; Internet usage; and participation in drug education classes and programs. The parent instrument covers the following topics: media consumption; communication with child; monitoring of child; family functioning; knowledge about child's use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; personal participation in community drug prevention activities; awareness of drug-related media stories and advertising; recollection and assessment of specific Campaign-sponsored antidrug advertisements on television and radio; personal usage of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants; basic demographics; and education, income and religion. When parents were being asked about their children, each question was targeted to a specific sample child and repeated for every sampled child in the household. Other questions that were not about their children were only asked once.
