Abstract: Secondary data from longstanding population-representative sources hold powerful potential for public health research. Their rich socioeconomic and demographic measures, relative continuity over time, and large sample sizes mean they can be used to study change, conduct comparative research, situate individuals within community and family contexts, or serve as an external benchmark for smaller studies. IPUMS (ipums.org) harmonizes valuable secondary data sources, applying a consistent coding scheme across time along with integrated documentation. Learn about research ready data from IPUMS that are available without charge to the research community.
