FSU Add Health Working Group

A fairly sizable group of faculty, staff and students at Florida State University are currently engaged in research using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). A core group of these researchers have come together to form an informal working group that meets several times during each semester. The purpose of this working group is to provide an opportunity for scholars to meet one another, to share with each other their on-going research, and to exchange ideas, information and strategies for working with the Add Health data. All interested researchers are welcome to attend working group meetings, regardless of their familiarity or experience with Add Health.

Researchers at Florida State University can obtain access to both public-use and restricted-use Add Health datasets. These data are currently being exploited by professionals from a variety of disciplines at FSU, including demography, sociology, economics, social work, and family studies.

The Add Health project is directed and maintained at the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina. More complete information about the Add Health can be found at: http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth
