The National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP)

NSHAP data is available for research through the NACDA Program on Aging at ICPSR. There is no Web download for the data as NSHAP is covered by a restricted-use agreement with the University of Chicago. We will be happy to send you a copy of the study, but we will require three documents:

A copy of your IRB approval for the use of the data in whatever project you require the data for. This will typically fall under an Exempt 4 classification for secondary data analysis.

A secure data storage plan which is a written description of how the NSHAP data will be stored on site and how the data will be protected from unauthorized access on your computer network.

A signed data use agreement, which we will supply to you when you have requirements 1 and 2 in hand.

Due to the sensitive nature of many NSHAP questions, these documents have been developed to provide essential protection for study respondents. Their completion allows NACDA to release the restricted data version of NSHAP for secondary analysis. We will be happy to answer any questions or assist when possible in the preparation of these materials.
