SEDUC Education Module


OVERVIEW

Information about the Sibling Respondent's education was collected in the
following manner:

     -Whether respondents were born in Wisconsin was ascertained.  If birth
date information was missing for a given respondent, that information was
ascertained as well.

     -Information on primary and post-secondary education was collected in this
module.  Whether the respondent attended primary school in Wisconsin and the
name and location of Wisconsin primary schools attended the longest by the
respondent were collected. The same data was collected about junior high school
if IQ data for the sibling respondent was missing. Whether  the respondent had
taken any courses for credit at a two or four-year  college and whether the
respondent had attained a degree since the last time they had been interviewed
for the study was collected as well.   If the respondent reported having
attained a degree since the last interview, information about this degree was
collected.  Respondents who reported  having taken classes and/or attaining a
degree since the last interview  were asked whether they were currently
enrolled at a two or four-year college.

     -Success questions are actually asked at the end of the interview.
Following the 1993 codebook, they are put here.
