Tools and Data
The VERB campaign was evaluated through a nationally representative survey of tweens
and parents. The survey was conducted by telephone beginning in 2002 and repeated on the
same panel of tween/parent dyads annually through 2006 (Panel 1). A new panel was added in
2004 (Panel 2) and interviewed through 2006. A third nationally representative sample was
interviewed in 2006 only (Panel 3). Currently, only 2002-2004 Panel 1 cross-sectional
and longitudinal data are available. Other data will be made available in spring 2009.
Below are the survey instrument, data files for Panel 1 for 2002 to 2004, codebooks,
and User's Manual. The data files and the codebooks are given for both cross-sectional
analysis (using cross-sectional weights) and longitudinal analysis (using longitudinal
weights). See the Data File User's Manual [pdf
805K] and FAQs [pdf 32.K] for more information.

data for these cases to achieve a pattern consistent with directions on the questionnaire.
