The NLSY for New and Returning Users (PAA Workshop, 4/25/2019)
Posted: 4/3/2019 (Local Events)
Elizabeth Cooksey (PI of the NLSY79 Child and Young Adult studies) and Steve McClaskie (NLSY User Services guru) will provide an overview to the NLSY79 (including the NLSY Child and Young Adult surveys) and the NLSY97, present information on data updates and future survey directions, and show new and returning users how to search through our thousands of variables and download data into SPSS, SAS, STATA and R.
Other possible titles we considered for this session were: “From Youth to Retirement – The NLSY79 Covers it all”, “Children of the NLSY79 – Not really Children Any More” and “The NLSY97 – Fast Approaching 40”!
If you are interested in any life course stages from childhood to “early” aging, we have longitudinal data for you! The NLSY79 has tracked respondents for 40 years, and the oldest respondents are in their early 60s, while NLSY97 respondents have been tracked for more than 20 years and are now in their thirties. See www.nlsinfo.org
The session will take place from 3-5pm on WEDNESDAY APRIL 25 in Room 305 at the Marriott Hotel. This is a member initiated meeting, and is FREE of charge. COME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NLSY AND TO HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
There is no need to reserve a place, but if you do plan to attend, it would be helpful if you could email Elizabeth at cooksey.1@osu.edu.
We look forward to seeing you in Denver!
Elizabeth and Steve
