This dataset was created to understand the mechanisms through which social capital shaped the community response to the coronavirus pandemic on the island of Menorca, Spain. Data was collected through qualitative interviews of 25 permanent residents of the island between April and June of 2020. The age range of the participants was between 26 to 89 years old. The semi-structured interview guide had questions about pre-pandemic and pandemic emergency response and recovery events. Questions were developed to capture information on different indicators, including emergent forms of social capital, dark sides of social capital and trust.

This dataset is about evolving understandings of social justice in a global-local interprofessional context. Students in the professional fields of social work, law, and nursing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and the University of Haifa, Israel express how they conceptualize ideas of justice and how their ideas change and evolve in dialogue with each other through the process of creating a visual record, with photovoice techniques, of social justice, and conveying that to each other. There are two datasets: one is comprised of 16 English-language interviews with students who participated in the global-local interprofessional course between 2014 and 2017; the second set is comprised of 15 Hebrew-language interviews with students who also participated in the course during that same time frame. The dataset also includes photos that study participants referred to in their interviews. The slides of a presentation on this study, delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Social Work Research, Washington D.C., January 2018, "Learning to Focus and Focusing to Learn: Assessing the Use of PhotoVoice in Global/Local InterProfessional Education" are available at the UMB Digital Archive at http://hdl.handle.net/10713/8098 . There is a forthcoming article directly on the findings of this study.

This dataset is the result of continued analysis of data collected from qualified, semistructured telephone interviews of 48 caregivers of newly diagnosed children. The initial evaluation of interview results focused on their early views of ADHD treatment and the decision to initiate and continue medication for their child (see “Related Datasets” below”). This study concentrated on how caregivers and their children experience mental health stigma. Responses were classified into 6 categories: a) concerns with labeling, b) feelings of social isolation and rejection, c) perceptions of a dismissive society, d) influence of negative public views, e) exposure to negative media and, f) mistrust of medical assessments. The dataset includes demographic, family history of psychiatric illness, comorbid diagnoses, characteristics associated with stigmatizing experiences, and transcripts of initial, 6, and 12 month follow-up interviews.

This study investigated the relationship between caregivers’ early views of ADHD treatment and the decision to initiate and continue medication for their child. 48 caregivers of newly diagnosed children participated in qualitative, semistructured telephone interviews with 6 and 12 month follow-ups. Analysis of the initial interview responses revealed 4 categories associated with caregiver perspectives: a) illness oriented, b) problem oriented, c) generally acceptable and, d) unacceptable. This dataset includes demographic information, family history of psychiatric illness, comorbid diagnoses, use of medication, and transcripts of initial, 6 month, and 12 month follow-up interviews.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) provides national and state-level data on the use of tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs (including non-medical use of prescription drugs) and mental health in the United States. This annual survey involves interviews with approximately 70,000 randomly selected individuals. The survey cohort consists of U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 years and older and includes residents in group quarters such as college dormitories, group homes, shelters, rooming houses, and military bases. Interviews are conducted in participants’ homes facilitated via the use of Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI). NSDUH is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency of the U.S. Public Health Service in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

The University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a longitudinal panel study that surveys a representative sample of approximately 20,000 Americans over 50 years old. Core surveys take place every two years, with additional topics covered in off-year surveys. Data collected through a mix of phone and face-to-face interviews provides a comprehensive look at the changing experiences of older Americans on a range of topics including physical and mental health history and status, cognition, family structure, health care utilization and costs, financial status, and employment history and retirement plans. Interviews are supplemented with information from physical measurements, biomarker and genetic data, and linkages to administrative data.

To address concerns about comprehension and adequacy of informed consent, qualitative data was collected to examine whether there are linguistic and cultural concepts used to communicate heritability of characters, traits, and diseases in an indigenous African population. Researchers conducted focus group discussions among 115 participants and key informant interviews among 25 stakeholders and key opinion leaders among Yoruba living in Ibadan, Nigeria. The resulting dataset was contributed to the INDIGENE study which uses qualitative research methods to elicit these words and use them to design “enhanced informed consent” forms that are compared with standard informed consent in a randomized trial.

This dataset was generated from a qualitative, exploratory study to understand how the Baltimore Specialized Prostitution Diversion Program (SPD) operated and was experienced by those working and participating in it. Qualitative data included observations of participants during their interactions with the court and SPD staff as well as interviews with twenty-one SPD clients. Administrative program data was collected in 2010 on 616 arrestees and included demographic information, self-assessment for areas of need, and participants’ goals. Administrative court data collected by SPD staff was also examined for 221 eligible participants and included court dates, weekly attendance, and program completion. The semi-structured interview guide allowed participant input with questions centered on their understanding and experience of the program, what impeded or facilitated their participation and engagement with the program, and general recommendations.

This dataset is the result of a qualitative study exploring the impact on child care providers of recent changes in government policies such as the 2014 reauthorization of the Child Care Development Block Grant and the increasing number of state-funded pre-kindergarten programs. Although there is much research on the benefits of quality care for children, and some research on the struggles of parents seeking high quality care, few elicit the perspective of this crucial work force. Six focus groups were conducted with a total of 49 providers. Two groups each, one with center-based providers and one with home-based providers, were held in an urban, suburban, and rural location. Focus group data were supplemented with data from interviews with six rural providers, for a total study sample of 55. All interviews and focus groups were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a constant comparative method and coding for emergent and sensitizing concepts

This dataset is associated with a pilot study investigating the relationship of alcohol consumption to the motives and affective states among residents in a continuing care retirement community. Data were collected from 71 volunteer participants in 3 phases over a 9 day period: an initial face-to-face interview, daily telephone surveys, and a final telephone interview on the last day of the study. The dataset includes sociodemographic variables, physical and mental health measures (including depressive symptoms), daily alcohol consumption statistics utilizing the NIAAA standard drink graphic, and drinking motives assessment data.
