Important News Regarding Add Health Restricted Files
November 11, 2009
Add Health is now accepting requests for the Wave IV interview data from current Add Health contractors. There is an additional fee of $100 for these data.
Add Health is also accepting requests from PIs on current projects for the following Wave I and III Obesity and Neighborhood Environment contextual data files:
- Wave I and III Connectivity Files
- Wave I and III Crime Files
- Wave I and III Geocode Source
- Wave I and III Land Cover Data
- Wave I and III Parks Data
- Wave I and III Resources Data
- Wave I and III Urban Distances
- Wave I School Distance Measures
- Wave III MSA Pseudo Codes
- Wave III Mobility Data
- Wave III Climate Data
- Wave III Population Density
- Wave III Weather Data
There is no additional fee for these files. Contact Jodie Lee, contract administrator for Add Health, if you have any questions about these data or your current Add Health contract. Cornell researchers who have Add Health agreements and want to acquire additional data should follow OSP procedures to amend their existing agreements.
In January 2010, dissemination and management of restricted Add Health data will move from the Carolina Population Center to the Data Sharing for Demographic Research project at ICPSR. (DSDR already distributes public-use Add Health data). During this transition period, the Carolina Population Center is not accepting applications for new restricted data agreements. Changes to current contracts will be handled by CPC until December 15, 2009. ICPSR assumes responsibility for all existing and new contracts after that date. See this Add Health announcement page for more information.
