| NCES 2008322 | Education Longitudinal Study of 2002/06 Data Analysis System (DAS)
The ELS:2002/06 Data Analysis System (DAS) contains base year, first follow-up, and second follow-up data on a sample of about 16,000 students who were first surveyed as high school sophomores in the spring of 2004. The first follow-up occurred in the spring 2004, when most of the sample members were high school seniors. The second follow-up occurred in 2006 when most of the sample members who attended college were college sophomores. Both those who attended college and those who didn’t are included in the data. Data in the DAS pertain to the courses taken and achievement of the sample members when they were in high school, their family backgrounds and other experiences in high school. For those who considered going to college, there is data on which colleges they applied to, and the acceptances and aid offers they received from those colleges. Other data include the employment experiences of both those who attended college and those who didn't, the earnings and some aspects of the work situation of those who did not attend college, and, for both those who attended college and didn't, data about other life experiences and outcomes, such as military service, volunteer service, and family formation. A data file manual is available as NCES 2007-347. |
