Register for PAA Virtual Workshop
Part of the Population Association of America (PAA) Fall Virtual Workshop Series
This workshop will introduce IPUMS-harmonized versions of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), including a dataset of NHIS survey data linked to death certificate information – the Longitudinal Mortality File (LMF). Survey linked mortality data such as the LMF fill a critical knowledge gap about the correlates of mortality. In this workshop, we introduce the IPUMS NHIS data and discuss how linked population survey-death certificate data can fill in gaps in official mortality statistics and address broader mortality related questions. The workshop will include a hands-on activity where we will calculate mortality statistics using the LMF data harmonized by IPUMS.
Upcoming Events
Workshop: Studying Mortality using Harmonized National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality File Data (NHIS-LMF) from IPUMS
Webinar: Using the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to study Americans’ social lives: opportunities and limitations
11:00am CT
Register for ATUS Webinar
This webinar, hosted by our collaborators at the University of Maryland, will highlight use of the ATUS for studying the health of Americans’ social lives. Participants will hear about the time diary methodology, uses of the ATUS to study Americans’ sociality, and what this research tells us. The session will also include a demo of IPUMS ATUS and highlight the limitations of the ATUS for studying time spent with others and time spent alone.
Gerontological Society of America (GSA)
IPUMS will be exhibiting at the GSA 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting. Stop by our exhibit booth (506) to talk data to us.
Webinar: Practical Use of IPUMS Census Microdata: From Online Data Analysis to Mapping
9:00am & 7:00pm CT
Register for SDA Webinar
This webinar will demonstrate how to use the Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) tool with IPUMS Census microdata to analyze changes in educational attainment over time at detailed geographic levels. Participants will learn how to generate statistical tables using SDA and then use those outputs as inputs for GIS software. The session shows how tabular census data can be transformed into maps, helping users visualize geographic patterns and trends across places and time.
Virtual Office Hours
10:00-11:30am
Register for Virtual Office Hours
Join us for virtual office hours on Wednesday, November 12 to chat with IPUMS data experts about your questions. This month we also have special data guest National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA sponsors the CPS Computer and Internet Use Supplement. They're seeking input on proposed questionnaire updates to best measure internet and technology use while preserving continuity of core measures (changes outlined in an NTIA Federal Register notice open through November 9). Registration is required to attend virtual office hours, but you can drop in anytime between 10:00am and 11:30am CT with your questions for the researchers that make IPUMS and NTIA possible.
About Virtual Office Hours: Virtual Office Hours are held quarterly and are a chance to connect data experts with data users to get their questions answered in a setting similar to a conference exhibit hall, but in an online format. The goal is to provide regular opportunities for face-to-face, personalized support from data experts in a casual atmosphere.
