This report documents the major technical aspects of the sample selection and implementation of the 1982 High School and Beyond First Follow Up, the first in a series of planned resurveys of the students and schools in the 1980 High School and Beyond Base Year Survey. The First Follow-Up included subsamples of nearly 30,000 sophomore cohort and 28,000 senior cohort representatives from the Base Year samples. Sophomore cohort questionnaires focused on school experiences and plans for further education or work following high school. Senior cohort questionnaires focused on postsecondary education and work. Sophomores were retested with the Base Year cognitive tests, but seniors were not retested. Schools in which sophomore cohort students were still enrolled or to which they had transferred en masse completed a school questionnaire. This report's introductory chapter describes the National Longitudinal Studies program, briefly describes the Base Year Survey and provides an overview of the First Follow-Up survey. Chapter two summarizes the Base Year sample design and details the First Follow-Up procedures. Chapter three describes the calculation of sample case weights that adjust for differential probabilities of selection and for nonresponse within the weighting cells. Chapter four examines the possible impact of nonresponse. Chapter five describes procedures for computing sampling errors and design effects. Chapter six discusses the sample design for the High School Transcripts study. The appendices contain statistical data for: sums of preliminary weights and nonresponse adjustments; response and nonresponse rates by selected variables for both surveys; and estimates of proportions, standard errors, and design effects for both sophomore and senior cohorts.
