Add Health is excited to announce the following data are now available:

Wave VI Inflammation and Immune Function: This file contains constructed measures designed to facilitate analysis and interpretation of inflammation and immune function based on venous blood collected via phlebotomy at the Wave VI home exam. Assay results include High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) and several cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNFα). In addition, there are constructed measures for counts of subclinical symptoms and common infectious or inflammatory diseases, concentration flags for all cytokines, as well as various anti-inflammatory medication use flags.

The following additional data are also available:

Altitude & Solar Irradiation: These data include elevation and quarterly measures of solar irradiance and irradiation at geocoded Add Health respondent addresses.

Meteorology: These data include daily meteorological measures at geocoded Add Health respondent addresses.

The files are already available on the SRW and will be available soon to Home Institution users.
