Contains ques- tions on advance directives and respondent preferences toward a hypothetical cancer treat- ment under a variety of costs and treatment success-rate assumptions. Module 8: Attitudes toward inter-familial trans- fers. Examines respondents’ willingness to give financial help to parents and/or siblings under a variety of hypothetical situations. These data, in conjunction with those from HRS 1994 Module 7, are designed to develop a better understand- ing of altruism. Module 9: Retirement planning. Asks about retirement planning and saving for retirement, and contains a question intended to measure the extent to which the respondent understands compound interest. It asks about the extent to which the respondent relies or plans to rely on Social Security, employer-provided pension plans, individual retirement accounts, 401(k) or Keogh plans, and private savings. Also asks retirees questions about the adequacy of their savings. Module 10: Saving for retirement. Contains questions on the current level of savings for retirement and on the reliance or expected reli- ance on public, private, and personal sources of income in retirement. AHEAD 1995 (Wave 2) Modules Each of the AHEAD 1995 modules includes ques- tions designed to assess the importance of an- choring effects in unfolding questions about dollar amounts. In each case, respondents were asked about the amount of money they had in savings accounts and total household consumption in the past month. Modules 1 and 2: AHEAD 1993 ADL ques- tions. Questions about difficulty and the use of equipment and help in activities of daily living that were asked in AHEAD 1993 were modi- fied in 1995. To assist analysts who wish to take account of these wording changes when examining changes in responses across waves, a random subsample (double the size of the other modules) was asked the 1993 version of the ADL questions (in addition to the revised ADL questions that were asked in the main interview). Module 3: LSOA2 ADL questions. Asks the same questions as Module 3 in AHEAD 1993, and were asked of the same respondents in both waves. Module 4: Security and safety. Poses ques- tions about the subjective probability of being the victim of a crime, and steps taken out of concern about crime. Module 5: Sleep. Includes questions about trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night, problems of falling asleep during the day, and the use of medications to aid sleep. It also includes two questions about the sense of personal control. APPE N DIX A Module 6: Living wills. Inquires about end-of- life directives, and whether or not the respon- dent has named anyone to make health care decisions for them if they are unable to do so themselves. Respondents were also presented with two scenarios about someone with a life-threatening illness who is presented with the choice of taking an experimental treatment with randomly varied cost and probability of success. Module 7: In-depth ADLs. Asks the same ques- tions as Module 7 in AHEAD 1993, of the same respondents in both waves. HRS 1994 (Wave 2) Modules Module 1: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale. Assesses the degree to which the HRS 1994 scale loses information compared with the original HRS 1992 scale. The version of the CES-D Depression Scale included in the HRS 1994 instrument is a sub- stantially truncated version of the scale used in 1992. Module 2: Crystallized intelligence. It was decided to eliminate the similarities test (a test of crystallized intelligence) in the main survey, on the grounds that crystallized IQ is not expected to change with any rapidity in the HRS age range and is expected to change more slowly than memory. The similarities test in this module is the same test contained in the HRS 1992.
