The National Couples' Health and Time Study (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 entered the field on September 1, 2020, and data collection completed in April 2021. A follow-up survey (Wave 2) was fielded in 2022. The Wave 1 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. About 1,515 partners participated. NCHAT sample participants were recruited through the Gallup Panel. About 9 percent of the sample was non-Latinx Black, 6 percent non-Latinx Asian, 5 percent non-Latinx Multirace, 16 percent Latinx, and 1 percent another racial or ethnic identity. Approximately 55 percent of the sample identified as heterosexual, 20 percent as gay or lesbian, 10 percent as bisexual, and 15 percent as another sexual identity or multiple sexual identities. The sample was about evenly split between men and women, and almost 3 percent identified as another gender identity. 27 percent of couples were the same gender, and 4 percent were non-binary. About 75 percent were married and the remainder were cohabiting. The average age was 45. 65 percent of the sample had no children. One-third of the sample was in an interracial couple. 10 percent were born outside the US. Survey, time diary, experience sampling method, and geospatial data were collected. NCHAT is uniquely suited to address COVID, stress, family functioning, and physical and mental health and includes an abundance of contextual and acute measures of race and racism, sexism, and heterosexism.

National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS): Round 10 COVID-19 Supplement, [United States], 2020-2021 (ICPSR 39070)

Released/updated on: 2024-03-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2020-01-01--2021-01-01
The National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) began in 2011 and fosters research to guide efforts to reduce disability, maximize health and independent functioning, and enhance quality of life at older ages. NHATS aims to provide the basis for understanding trends in late-life functioning, how these differ for various population subgroups, and the economic and social consequences of aging and disability for individuals, families, and society. Between June 2020 and March 2021, NHATS conducted a supplemental mail study about participants' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adult family members and friends who helped NHATS participants were also surveyed about their experiences. The NHATS COVID-19 supplements covered topics such as symptoms of COVID-19, measures to limit spread of the virus, changes in living situations, contact with family and friends, other activities, grocery shopping, health care, finances, wellbeing, and help with daily activities. The ICPSR provides variable-level metadata for the data associated with this study. Users should consult the NHATS website for details on obtaining these resources.
