IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) Datasets Updated

Jumbled pile of USA state-shaped puzzle pieces. Each piece is a solid in color with black text displaying the state name and major roadways, as if they were cut from a roadmap. The pieces are displayed in a range of muted colors including light pink, yellow, green, and orange. The State of Michigan piece also includes the surrounding water in blue.

The IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data series provides access to measures of disparities, policies, and counts, by state or county, for historically marginalized populations in the United States including Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latina/o/e/x, and LGBTQ+ persons, and women.

The IPUMS CDOH data are made available through ICPSR/DSDR for merging with the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) by approved restricted data researchers. All other researchers can access the IPUMS CDOH data via the IPUMS CDOH website.

Unlike other IPUMS products, the CDOH data are organized into multiple categories related to Race and Ethnicity, Sexual and Gender Minority, Gender, and Politics. State-level measures are currently available through DSDR.
