The Uniform Crime Reports SodaPop collection now has data available for 1986, 2001, and 2002. These years of data were added to close gaps that were existing in the existing collection.

The NHANES Dietary Supplement files (within the Questionnaire Component) of both the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 survey years have been updated. The new files have been obtained and added to PopNet UNIX and SodaPop.

From the HRS Web site: One case in the 2002 HRS Core Final Release data should be deleted. Please delete the case with HHID 053846 and PN 011 from your data files. The case with HHID 053846 and PN 010 was incorrectly marked as being married in the course of her interview. In fact, 010 was not married, and 010 and 011 are one and the same person. The error resulted in another interview being taken several months later with the same respondent, but with a PN assignment of 011. This 011 interview should not be included in the 2002 Core Final Release (Version 1.0) data.

This case has been deleted from the HRS 2002 Core data available via SodaPop. It has not been removed from the raw file on PopNet UNIX.
