The 2022 School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS:2022) is a data collection that is part of the School Survey on Crime and Safety program; program data are available since 2000 at <https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ssocs/data_products.asp>. SSOCS:2022 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ssocs/) is a cross-sectional survey of the nation's public schools designed to provide estimates of school crime, discipline, disorder, programs and policies. Regular public schools were sampled. The collection was conducted primarily using an online survey with a mail questionnaire supplement, with e-mail follow-ups. The collection included a $10 incentive in the initial mailout, to all schools that accepted incentives. The collection also included an e-mail timing experiment; principals for half of the schools received the first e-mail prior to the initial mail package and the control group of principals from the other half of schools received the traditional e-mail approximately one week after the mail packages were sent. Key statistics produced from SSOCS:2022 include the frequency and types of disciplinary actions taken for select offenses; perceptions of other disciplinary problems, such as bullying, verbal abuse and disorder in the classroom; the presence and role of school security staff; parent and community involvement; staff training; mental health services available to students; and school policies and programs concerning crime and safety. In addition to collecting data on the core topics addressed in SSOCS, SSOCS:2022 also collected data on schools’ responses to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic during the 2021–22 school year.

The collection also included an incentive experiment that offered about 2340 schools a $10 cash incentive in the initial mailout, and then to increase response rates, a reminder email was sent in April promising a $10 cash incentive upon survey completion to all nonresponding schools, regardless of their originally assigned incentive group. Key statistics produced from SSOCS:2020 include the frequency and types of disciplinary actions taken for select offenses; perceptions of other disciplinary problems, such as bullying, verbal abuse and disorder in the classroom; the presence and role of school security staff; parent and community involvement; staff training; mental health services available to students; and school policies and programs concerning crime and safety.

Researchers may access restricted-use National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data at Research Data Centers (RDCs) located in Hyattsville, MD, Atlanta, GA, Rockville, MD, and Washington DC (government employees only). The NCHS RDCs are open by appointment only during regular business hours. The NCHS RDC computers are not connected to the Internet, and they have standard statistical software. An RDC Analyst will review all materials brought into the RDC and will review any notes, code, or output the researcher may want to take out of the RDC. Electronic devices (e.g., cell phones and laptops) are not permitted in the RDC. Some NCHS projects are authorized to access NCHS data at Federal Statistical RDCs (FSRDC). Non-US Citizens: In general, non-US citizens are not granted access to NCHS RDCs and are encouraged to use Federal Statistical RDCs to access restricted-use NCHS data.

Access via physical data enclaves in Atlanta, GA; Hyattsville, MD; Rockville, MD; or Washington, DC (government employees only).

NCSES Secure Data Access Facility (SDAF) houses NCSES restricted-use data and provides secure remote access to researchers. After researchers have submitted a restricted-use data application, received approval from NCSES, and have been trained on how to use the SDAF, they can login using an approved computer and a private internet connection. Each researcher has access to their own, personal file space and to a suite of software that can be used to store, access, and analyze data. For more information on accessing NCSES restricted-use data, please visit https://ncses.nsf.gov/about/licensing.
