Allen, You might be interested in checking out the HELP study dataset, which is included as part of the "mosaic" package in R as well as in a variety of formats from the book "SAS and R: Data Management, Statistical Analysis and Graphics" book website at http://www.math.smith.edu/sasr/datasets.php. This includes deidentified data from a randomized trial of n=470 subjects recruited from a detox center in Boston who were randomized to usual care or an intervention to link them to primary care. Approximately 200 variables are measured at each of baseline, 6 months, 12 month, 18 month and 24 month follow up. There are a variety of sociobehavioral, health, and health services questions which can be addressed. The complete set of instruments can be downloaded from http://www.math.smith.edu/help.
