Study (for when multiple diff studies used)
The Korean Family Planning data were stored on a Vax tape that Rogers had given to Marc Granovetter who then gave it to his colleague Roland Soong (see Granovetter & Soong, 1983). Granovetter instructed Song to send the tape to me and I had it loaded on the Vax machine at USC in 1990 and was able to download the data to a PC. The first two datasets were acquired for my dissertation (Valente, 1991) and the third added as I completed my book on Network Models of the Diffusion of Innovations (Valente, 1995; also see Valente, 2005).
The dataset has 1,047 respondents (women) from 25 communities. Collected during 1973 it spans 11 years of data.
