- catalog abstract "The National Survey of the Aged, [United States], 1957 conducted by Dr. Ethel Shanas consists of three parts: 1. The Health Needs of Older Persons, 2. Household Enumeration: Non-interviewed Individuals, and 3. Public Attitudes on Older People. The surveys were sponsored by the Health Information Foundation at the University of Chicago and conducted at the National Opinion Research Center. Part I, the Health Needs of Older People covers the fields of health, the use of medical facilities, the cost of medical care, the older person's sources of income, his/her social relationships, attitudes toward younger family members, work, religion and a self-evaluation of health status. Part II contains information describing persons located during the enumeration process who were unable to complete the interview. Part III, Public Attitudes on Older People, surveyed a cross-section of adult Americans. This survey was mainly concerned with what responsibility younger and middle aged people assume for older relatives, the kinds of plans these people make for their own maintenance in later years, and overall attitudes on the part of all age groups toward certain situations which are common in later life. This survey is the first of three national surveys, continued in 1962 and 1975, of the aged conducted by Dr. Shanas. The data in Part I and II are based on a random sample of the total non- institutionalized population in the United States in the age group 60 and over. The six-stage area probability sample was of the general design used by the United States Bureau of the Census for the Current Population Survey. Part III, the general public survey, used the same sampling frame used in Parts I and II but employed quotas rather than probability selection at the last two stages, it is based on an areally-restricted quota sample of the adult population. In part I, each record contains the responses to the Household Enumeration Folder, the older person's questionnaire, a hospital supplement, and the 'designated individual' questionnaire. In part II, each record consists of the responses to the Household Enumeration Folder for those individuals who did not complete the entire interview. In part III, each record contains the responses to the Public Attitudes on Older People survey.".
