Limited Online Analysis

Users who do not have direct access to Add Health data can run dynamic analysis online on a limited subset of the public-use data. Users may choose variables and statistics without writing or understanding SAS programming. Each dataset contains variables from the public-use sample and is weighted. The results can be saved, printed, or run again later. These basic statistics are available:

• variable descriptions
• frequency distributions
• means with optional by-group processing
• descriptive statistics including quartiles with optional by-group analyses
• descriptive statistics in tabular format

A subset of variables is available for analysis from these sources of public-use data:

• Wave I in-home interview (1995)
  190 variables, 6,504 observations
• Wave II comparable variables from in-home interview (1996)
  183 variables, 4,834 observations
• Wave III in-home interview (2001–2002)
  143 variables, 4,882 observations

In order to use these data online you must agree to the Data Use Agreement.
