National Couples’ Health and Time Study (NCHAT) Identity Variables Update Now Available!
DSDR is pleased to announce the release of an update to eleven identity variables within the National Couples’ Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) main respondent public and restricted data files.
Eleven original IDENTITY variables were recoded, resulting in eleven new variables. The reason for the recode of the stated variables is because (originally) some respondents said that they had an identity of other (IDENTITY_11=1), but then in IDENTITY_11_TEXT they indicated that they were heterosexual or "straight" (IDENTITY_1) or asexual (IDENTITY_8).
NCHAT is a population-based study of couples in America that contains representative samples of racial and ethnic diverse and sexual and gender diverse individuals. NCHAT focuses on the experiences of co-habiting partners, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining relationship functioning, emotion regulation, discrimination, racial trauma, physical health, psychological well-being, health behaviors, stressors, and time use. The sample includes 3,642 main respondents. The sample frame included adults in the United States who ranged in age from 20-60 years old, who were married or cohabiting, and who were able to read English or Spanish.
NCHAT is conducted by Claire Kamp Dush (University of Minnesota) and Wendy Manning (Bowling Green State University) and funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
