GVOL Volunteer Module

For more information on the Volunteer Module see Appendix G.

OVERVIEW

The Volunteer Module contains questions about graduate respondents' volunteer,
blood donation, and caregiving activities. 

    -  Questions about volunteer and blood donation activities are 
       new to the 2004 telephone instrument.  Only respondents in the 
       79% random sub-sample were asked the questions about volunteering 
       and blood donation. Variable gu001re is a flag from the Alcohol 
       Module which equals 1 if respondents were in the sub-sample and 0 
       if they were not. 

    -  Questions about caregiving were introduced in 1993 and asked 
       again in 2004.  In 1993, questions about caregiving activities
       were contained in an independent Caregiving Module.  Questions 
       pertained to both care received by the respondent and care given
       by the respondent to a family member or friend. For the 2004 
       wave, respondents were only asked about care given to a family 
       member or friend, and the questions are located within the 
       Volunteer Module.  

Although some caregiving questions appeared in both waves, many of the
questions used in 1993 were not repeated in 2004. Only the following variables,
listed here as 1993 variable name/2004 variable name, appeared in both waves:
RV030RE/GV060RE and RV016RE-RV022RE/GV016RE-GV022RE.  For both waves, only
respondents in the 79% random sub-sample were asked the questions about
caregiving.  Variable GU001RE is a flag from the Alcohol Module which equals 1
if respondents were in the sub-sample and 0 if they were not.
