The Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI) study is a population-based survey that aims to examine and characterize a population of older men and women in rural South Africa with respect to health, physical and cognitive function, aging, and well-being, in harmonization with other Health and Retirement Studies. There are three waves of variable metadata in the NACDA Portal - compare across time within HAALSI and create custom codebooks using the basket function.
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world's longest-running nationally representative household panel survey. With over 50 years of data on the same families and their descendants, the PSID is a cornerstone of the data infrastructure for empirically based social science research in the U.S. PSID gathers data on the family as a whole and on individuals residing within the family, emphasizing the dynamic and interactive aspects of family economics, demography, and health. Variable metadata from 1968-2015 has been organized and grouped into concepts/topics in the NACDA Portal making it easier to identify potential analyses using PSID.
The NACDA Portal also has NSHAP, MIDUS, 3 waves of TILDA, NHATS, and cross-series comparisons with NSHAP-MIDUS and NSHAP-NHATS. Go to https://harmonize.icpsr.umich.edu to explore these series!
