Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: To provide a more intensive examination of student achievement in science and mathematics (and their relationship to career choices), the National Science Foundation funded the Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY) in 1985 and has continued that support over the last 20 years (NSF grants MDR-8550085, REC96-27669, RED-9909569, REC-0337487, DUE-0525357).This article reports on tracking procedures that were able to account for 94 percent of the original 5,945 students and obtain current addresses for 90 percent of the original sample (see Table 1).
