Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

The Center, under contract with the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), is preparing an urban inventory of existing databases relevant to interdisciplinary research on family processes and development of children and adults living in poor urban areas.

The purposes of the project are threefold: to provide guidance to investigators in their search for useful databases; to highlight gaps in available research regarding the effects of living in poor urban areas on families and individuals, particularly young children; and to identify opportunities for adding neighborhood/community-level variables to databases lacking that type of information.

The narrative summaries of the more than 150 entries will include substantive as well as technical information on topics such as subject emphases, sample characteristics, attrition, instruments used, periodicity, principal investigators, sources of funding/support, and data accessibility and availability.

NCCP will publish the inventory on behalf of SSRC. William Scarbrough, associate director for research, is directing the project. Copyright, 1997, National Center for Children in Poverty
