Survey of Texas Adults, 2004

This dataset is the first in a series of several data
collection efforts aimed at learning more about the lives of adults
who live in Texas. Data collected in 2004 contains information on
seven major aspects of Texas life: (1) A series of questions on civic
engagement and attitudes, such as voting behavior, jury service, and
attitudes towards the institution of the jury. (2) A large module of
questions related to volunteering. Inquiry was made on how and how
much respondents volunteer, their reasons for volunteering, and the
ways they go about finding opportunities to do so. This module also
asks about organizational memberships and giving behaviors. (3)
Personality dispositions and attitudes related to violence and other
issues. (4) Physical and mental health status. (5) Information
regarding health behaviors, such as diet and exercise, and the
frequency in which respondents regularly engage in various activities.
(6) Questions related to religious activities and beliefs held by
respondents. (7) General demographic information, including age, sex,
race, type of Hispanic descent, education, employment and
citizenship.
