National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth - Cycle 3

(Cycles 1, 2 and 3).  The data files have been revised to:

  • Represent the 2001 Census population counts (new weights)
  • Represent the new MSD scale – recalculation of DMSCS02 and the addition of DMSCdS03 for cycles 2 and 3.
  • Correct the math score for cycle 3 (CMACS03)
  • Add the age in months (DMMCdQ1B)

Codebooks for cycle 1, 2 and 3 have been revised as well. 
Cycle 1 codebook is now separated from the user guide.  Also, the Cycle 3 custody data have been removed.
