Subject: NHATS Round 9 Final Data Released and Data Website Updated

 

The National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) is pleased to announce that Round 9 final data files are now available at https://nhats.org/researcher/data-access. Data files are available in both SAS and Stata formats. Updated documentation, including a revised User Guide, technical papers on Round 9 weights and income imputation, a revised crosswalk between the instruments and the codebook, and a crosswalk of changes from the beta to final version, can be found at https://www.nhats.org/researcher/nhats.    

Additionally, a redesign of the NHATS data website is now live at https://nhats.org/researcher/data-access. Updates include a new process for requesting and accessing restricted data and the availability of a new online resource for researchers from Colectica. This searchable, cross-year database contains NHATS metadata (item numbers, variable names, labels, values and value labels, and question text) to facilitate multi-round analysis.

Prior to accessing the NHATS data download area, users will need to update their password https://nhats.org/user/password.
