Abstract

Plans for a survey to “succeed” the Indianapolis Study are being developed in the United States. According to tentative plans, the new study will be concerned initially with some I, S oo native-white married women under 3 S years of age who reported a second birth 4–7 months prior to the interview. The sample will probably be drawn from selected “standard metropolitan areas”. The objective will be the discovery of factors associated with the occurrence and timing of the third birth. The proposed study is longitudinal to the extent that second and third interviews at successive intervals of 18 months are planned to secure the desired data.
