Summary
The PASS CF_0619_v1 contains a 20 percent sample of households and the corresponding interviewed household members from the Scientific Use File PASS_0619_v3.
The PASS-CF_0619_v1 can be used to convey various insights into the handling of PASS data. It is suitable for the introduction into the handling of complex data structures (data management, data preparation, use of multiple analysis levels, etc.). The data set is particularly suitable for teaching special techniques for analyzing panel data
The essential differences between the PASS-CF_0619_v1 and the scientific use file are:
- a reduced number of observations (cf. capter 3.1, FDZ-Datenreport 07/2022)
- a reduced range of variables and modified identification numbers (cf. chapter 3.2, FDZ-Datenreport 07/2022)
- reduction of information, e.g. modification of categories, modification of the data on every level (cf. chapter 3.2, FDZ-Datenreport 07/2022)
A description of the campus file can be found in the FDZ-Datenreport 07/2022 (pdf, only in German). For detailed documentations on PASS (FDZ Datenreporte, questionnaires etc.), which are also relevant for analyses with the campus files, please refer to working tools.
Advice for data usage
The campus files have been specifically designed for the purpose of academic teaching and serve only for vivid and practical training of survey, data management or various other data analysis techniques applied to different social research problems. Due to the utilized comprehensive anonymisation techniques the data must not be used for any statistical inference concerning the contents or for any kind of publication (including seminar papers or bachelor theses). With this data it is not possible to make generalised statements about individual characteristics or relationships between different characteristics.
Only the scientific use file (SUF) may be used for valid substantial analysis. Information on the application procedure is available in the category Data Access/Scientific Use File.
Data access and dissemination
The CFs can be downloaded free of charge. Before downloading the data, the users have to register with the FDZ and acknowledge the terms of use for the FDZ CFs. In a next step you will receive a password which is necessary to start the download process.
Both commercial use of the data and commercial dissemination are prohibited.
