Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of the Lifestyles and Values of Youth, 1976-1992: Concatenated Core File

This data collection contains the "core" variables for
the first 17 years of this annual survey that explores changes in the
important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of
contemporary American youth. Personal and family characteristics,
political and religious beliefs, school performance and educational
goals, and type and degree of drug usage are some of the topics
explored in the core variables. Each year, a large, nationally
representative sample of high school seniors in the United States is
asked to respond to these core questions, as well as to an average of
200 additional questions not included in this dataset.
