The following data is now available from Add Health:
Wave VI Baroreflex Sensitivity and Hemodynamic Recovery
This file contains constructed measures for baroreflex sensitivity, heart rate recovery, and systolic blood pressure recovery for the Wave VI respondents.
Wave VI Home Exam Health & Quality Control Metrics
This file contains data collected during the Wave VI home exam that may be useful to investigators, but that is not included in other Wave VI user guides or codebooks. This data includes respondent provided general health metrics, as well as several measures of quality control related to the home exam. These QC metrics encompass various time intervals dealing with the home exam blood collection, shipping and receiving of blood samples, blood plasma and serum tube conditions, and assay times at the Laboratory for Clinical Biochemistry Research (LCBR).
Wave VI Infection
This file contains constructed measures designed to facilitate analysis and interpretation of infection based on venous blood collection via phlebotomy at the Wave VI home exam. These measures include results for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Several SARV-CoV-2 measures are also described, including Nucleocapsid, Receptor Binding Domain (RBD), and Spike Concentration types.
Wave VI Mover Distance
The dataset provides the distance, in meters, between each respondent’s home residence in each of the previous waves and their Wave VI residence.
Wave I, II, III, IV, V & VI Grouping Data
The dataset contains location identifiers, based on 2020 Census block group FIPS codes, for all six Add Health waves. They are longitudinally consistent across all waves.
