Earlier this year, IPUMS DHS began releasing reproductive calendar data, making it easy to use these incredibly valuable (but complex) data. The reproductive calendar is a month-by-month history of reproductive events occurring to a female survey respondent, typically covering the five years preceding her interview. The calendar is uniquely valuable because it introduces a longitudinal dimension to what are otherwise cross-sectional data. With the calendar data, researchers can pinpoint the frequency of premature births and pregnancy terminations, choices regarding pregnancy timing, the effectiveness and perceived disadvantages of different types of contraception, levels and consequences of infertility, and the impact of social and environmental contexts on the timing of births. In this webinar, we explain how to use the IPUMS DHS version of the calendar data.

This webinar will provide a basic introduction to the IPUMS International Historical Geographic Information System (IHGIS). We will provide an overview of the population and agricultural census data available in IHGIS and demonstrate using the data access system to request a data extract. We will also walk through the structure of IHGIS extracts and provide guidance on working with extracts in statistical packages (specifically R) and GIS (specifically QGIS).
IPUMS will be exhibiting at the 2022 Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science Conference.
IPUMS will be exhibiting at the 2022 National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) Annual Conference. Conference registrants can also attend the IPUMS pre-conference workshop, "Studying Families in Context With Population Data From IPUMS", on November 15 from 9:00am-12:00pm CT.
