Annual Health Survey (AHS), India, 2007-2012 (ICPSR 38097)

Released/updated on: 2022-04-13

Geographic coverage: India

Time period: 2007-01-01--2012-01-01

The Annual Health Survey (AHS), conducted by the Government of India between July 2010 and May 2013, investigates maternal and child health in nine states: Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. These states constitute about 70 percent of neonatal deaths in India and about one-in-five neonatal deaths globally. The AHS consists of a three-round panel that interviewed over 4 million households in each round, as well as a one-time Clinical, Anthropometric, and Bio-Chemical Survey (CAB). The data were originally released to the public in 2015 as a set of 45 .csv files. The .csv files are included in a restricted-use zipped package as part of the ICPSR release (see dataset 21).

The survey focused on topics such as household composition, caste, fertility, family planning, pre- and post-natal care, breastfeeding, infant mortality, illness, disease, disability, and health care practices. Demographic information includes sex, age, education, occupation, marital status, household size, and religion. The CAB files contain biometric data including but not limited to height, weight, blood pressure, hemoglobin, pulse, and blood glucose.

Potential data users should note that the public-use and restricted-use versions of the datasets are the same except for the masking of day component variables for certain dates in the public-use versions of the files (please see the Description of Variables section for full details). Therefore, only researchers with a limited set of research questions that require full birth, marriage, and death dates will need to apply for the restricted-use versions of the data files.

Additionally, because the final data files are very large and potentially very time consuming to analyze on personal computers, researchers have the option to download ten-percent samples of each file (see datasets 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, and 20). These samples contain the same variables as the original files but only ten percent of the records. The samples were determined by taking a randomly selected ten percent of households in each district. P.I. codebooks were not produced for these samples. Please note that the ten-percent samples for each dataset were selected independently, so it is not advised to merge across datasets within the AHS using these samples, as the match rates will be very low.

This collection provides information on live births in the United States during calendar year 2006. The natality data in these files are a component of the vital statistics collection effort maintained by the federal government. Birth data is limited to births occurring in the United States to United States residents and nonresidents. Births occurring to United States citizens outside of the United States are not included in this data collection. Part 1 contains data on births occurring within the United States, while Part 2 contains data on births occurring in the United States territories of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Beginning in 2005, the United States file no longer includes geographic detail (e.g., mother's state of residence). Geographic variables for the United States Territories file include the territory and county in which the birth occurred and in which the mother resided. Other variables describe the place of delivery, who was in attendance, and medical and health data such as the method of delivery, prenatal care, tobacco and alcohol use during pregnancy, pregnancy history, medical risk factors, and infant health characteristics. Birth and fertility rates and other statistics related to this study can be found in the National Vital Statistics Report in the codebook documentation. Demographic variables include the child's sex and month and year of birth, the parent's age, race, and ethnicity, as well as the mother's marital status, education level, and residency status.

The National Survey of Fertility Barriers, 2004-2010 [United States] (ICPSR 36902)

Released/updated on: 2017-11-02

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2004-01-01--2010-01-01

The National Survey of Fertility Barriers (NSFB) is a nationally representative telephone survey of women age 25-45 that was funded by grant R01-HD044144 from the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) entitled "Infertility: Pathways and Psychological Outcomes". Professors David R. Johnson (originally University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and later Pennstate University) and Lynn K. White (UNL) were the Principal Investigators, with co-investigators Julia McQuillan (UNL), Arthur L. Greil (Alfred University), Mary Casey Jacob (University of Connecticut), Naomi Laci (University of Nebraska Medical Center) and Laurie Scheuble (Doane University). The focus of the survey is Psycho-Social-Biomedical dimensions of fertility barriers. The two wave design facilitates assessing people before they know that they have a fertility barrier and after they experience a fertility barrier, as well as retrospective data on fertility history. Fertility barriers include subfecundity, repeated miscarriages, health conditions that preclude childbearing, situational barriers, and sterilization regret. The first wave was conducted between 2004 and 2007 and includes completed interviews with 4,794 women age 25 to 45 and 926 of their partners. The second wave was collected between 2007 and 2010 and includes 2222 women and 772 of their partners. The data were collected by the Survey Research Center at The Pennsylvania State University and the Bureau of Sociological Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
