IPUMS Webinar: Using the ATUS Time Diary and Eating and Health Module to Study Time Use and Health (04/17/26)
IPUMS is excited to partner with our colleagues at the University of Maryland to host a webinar on the ATUS Eating and Health Module (EHM), which was collected in 2006-2008, 2014-2016, and 2022-2023. The module contains information about primary and secondary eating patterns, consumption of fast food, which household member usually does food shopping and meal preparation, where food is purchased, and daily and weekly measures of eating, drinking, and exercise behaviors. This webinar will describe the IPUMS Time Use data access system, cover potential applications of EHM data for a variety of research topics, and provide a brief overview of how to link the ATUS EHM with Current Population Survey data.
