Office of Educational Research and Improvement
The first High School and Beyond follow-up survey, conducted in 1982, included sub-samples of 29,737 sophomore cohort and 11,995 senior cohort representatives from the base year survey samples. During the fall of 1982, nearly 18,500 of the sophomore cohort members selected for the first follow-up survey were subsampled for the High School and Beyond Transcripts Survey. This second follow-up survey, conducted in the spring of 1984, subsampled 14,825 members of those 18,500 sophomores, and it retained all of the seniors from the first follow-up survey selections. The questionnaires for the second follow-up focussed on postsecondary education, work, family formation, and selected attitudes. This report provides information that fully documents major technical aspects of the second follow-up sample selection and implementation, describes the weighting procedures, examines the possible impact of nonresponse on sample estimates, and evaluates the precision of estimates derived from the sample.
