American National Election Study (2004.T)
2004 Pre-Post Study
VERSION 20050131 (Jan 31, 2005)

ADVANCE RELEASE


This is an Advance Release of the 2004 National Election Study.  

Advance Releases are preliminary versions of a dataset, released very 
soon after data collection is complete. 
In order to achieve this, some of the processing, documentation, and 
variables that are usual for the Full Release of a dataset are not yet 
completed.  For example, study administration variables are usually not 
yet available, weights may not be finalized, summary variables may not 
be present, descriptive material in the codebook introduction is 
typically absent, and some data cleaning may remain to be done. 
 
Users who choose to work with an Advance Release will want to set up their 
programming so that they can check their results using the Full Release of 
the dataset when it becomes available. Users may find that technical 
characteristics of the file, such as variable and column widths, number of 
variables, and perhaps even some variable names, 
may change between the Advance and Full releases.
 
We hope that until such time as the Full Release is available, users will 
find the Advance Release files to be helpful in their work.

NOTE: THIS EXAMPLE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL NES VARIABLE

LINE 02
Contains identifiers, including (left to right) the variable name, the
question "tag" or item number (Q9a), and the variable label.  Since the
variable label begins with the question tag, the question tag only appears
once, as part of the variable label.

LINES 05-08
This describes who is being asked the question, inverse to the INAP conditions
(lines 34-35).  Each line ending with ":" describes one condition that has
been met to reach this question.
"/" at the end of a line is equivalent to an "OR" between the condition
preceding and the condition following the "/".  In this example, respondents
who were asked this question were respondents who said they voted, who said
they voted specifically for President, and who voted for a major party
Presidential candidate OR for another party's candidate.  Note that a
corresponding "/" sometimes appears in the question text when wording varies
according to which of the OR conditions applies. See lines 12-17.

LINES 12-17
Several conventions are observed in presentation of question text.
1) Text bracketed between ">" and "<" (line 12, line 15) indicates 
   case-specific text loaded onto the instrument by the survey application.
   In this example, ">NAME OF MAJOR PARTY<" indicates that either 
   "Democratic" or "Republican" was loaded into the question text, 
   depending up which major party candidate R indicated he had voted for
   earlier in the questionnaire   
2) Text bracketed between "[" and "]" (lines 12-14, line 15) displays
   text options, separated by "/".  In this example, if R voted for a 
   major party candidate, the first 2 sentences read to the respondent are:
  "You've indicated that you voted for the >NAME OF MAJOR PARTY< 
   Presidential candidate in 2004. How well has the >NAME OF MAJOR PARTY<
   party performed over the past four years?"
   In this example, if R voted for an other party's candidate, the first 2
   sentences are:
  "You've indicated that you voted for the >NAME OF OTHER PARTY< party in
   2004. How well has that party performed over the past four years?"
3) Text in parentheses (line 17) is read at the interviewer's discretion.
4) Text in CAPS other than ">" "<" bracketed text per 1) indicates
   phrases that appear in the instrument  underlined for emphasis.  In 
   this example (lines 16-17), the words "very good", "good", "bad", and 
   "very bad"  separated by "/" appeared underlined for interviewer emphasis..

LINE 21
With few exceptions, interviewer instructions appear in the instrument
immediately following the question text.

LINES 34-35
INAP describes the specific paths of respondents who are skipped over the
question.  Each condition which results in a skip is listed, separated by
";".
