Add Health is pleased to announce the following Wave VI Public-Use Data are now available:

  • Mixed-Mode Survey Data
  • Data Weights
  • Anthropometrics
  • Cardiovascular Measures
  • Demographics
  • Glucose Homeostasis
  • Hepatic Injury
  • Lipids
  • Medications – Home Exam

Public-use data are available from three sources: Add Health Dataverse hosted by UNC’s Research Data Management Core, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), and the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA). Users may obtain the data from any of these sources, depending on their needs. The public-use data sets contain all the survey data from In-Home Interviews but only for a subset of the full Add Health sample. We release a smaller sample through the public-use data set to limit deductive disclosure risk. Public-use data doesn’t contain ID numbers of friends, siblings or romantic partners, nor does it contain files on genetics, disposition, neighborhood contextual measures, or Add CAPS (Cognitive, Physical, and Sensory) measures.
