This data collection was previously distributed by the Cultural Policy and the Arts National Data Archive (CPANDA). These data were deposited with CPANDA by David Sheaves with the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science. The CPANDA Identification Number (study number) for the entire data collection is c00002. The CPANDA Identification Number for the Americans and the Arts 1973 is a00192, for the Americans and the Arts 1975 is a00193, for the Americans and the Arts 1980 is a00194, for the Americans and the Arts 1984 is a00195, for the Americans and the Arts 1987 is a00196, and for the Americans and the Arts 1992 is a0019. CPANDA conducted the following processing steps for release of this collection: produced a codebook, checked for undocumented codes, performed consistency checks, provided frequencies, performed recodes, and reformatted the data. In 1973, the population of the United States 16 years of age and older was approximately 145,480,000 at the time of the survey. Thus, 10% of respondents would represent 14.5 million people.
