Summary

The Obesity and Neighborhood Environment (ONE) database is a collection of variables derived using spatial analysis techniques that link community-level data to individual Add Health respondent residential locations in both space and time. The database provides physical, social, and economic neighborhood environment measures corresponding with Add Health respondent locations in Waves I and III. Community-level data include density and proximity to recreational facilities, land use patterning, population, economic, climate, and crime statistics, which are linked spatially and temporally to individual-level Add Health behavior and health outcome data. Request for these files must include a brief justification explaining the necessity and relevance of the data to the research agenda. There are no special security requirements. For more information, please see the study website.

2013-12-12 The Stata file for 27881-0021 was corrupted, and has been replaced.

2013-11-14 Public release of documentation guides and codebooks.

2013-11-07 Three blank records were found in 27881-0018 and 27881-0028. The three blank records were removed from the data and codebooks were corrected. Observations for Wave III changed from 15,200 to 15,197.

2011-02-18 Title, summary, and collection dates were updated to reflect an additional data collection wave in 2008.

2010-10-14 Principal Investigator sent minor updates to parts 10 and 22

2010-09-10 Datasets were added including ACCRA Cost of Living Index, Employment, Length of Day, Road Type Length, and Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) for both Wave 1 and Wave 3.

2010-06-04 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

  • Performed consistency checks.
  • Created variable labels and/or value labels.
  • Standardized missing values.
  • Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
