[ICPSR] Release of Integrated Fertility Survey Series (IFSS) Website

[Christopher Ward]

ICPSR is pleased to announce the launch of the Integrated Fertility
Survey Series (IFSS) project website, which is located at:
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/IFSS/

 

With funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for
Child Health and Human Development, the Integrated Fertility Survey
Series project seeks to produce a harmonized dataset of U.S. family and
fertility surveys spanning the 1955-2002 period, including the 1955 and
1960 Growth of American Families (GAF); the 1965 and 1970 National
Fertility Surveys (NFS); and the 1973, 1976, 1982, 1988, 1995, and 2002
National Surveys of Family Growth (NSFG). The Integrated Fertility
Survey Series (IFSS) and its associated data products will facilitate
analyses across time, yielding new insights into changes in fertility
and the family.

 

The accompanying IFSS website enables users to access standardized data
files and documentation, use Survey Documentation Analysis (SDA), and
browse related publications for each of the ten component surveys.
Future tools will permit users to navigate harmonized data files,
evaluate variable comparability across time, and conduct analyses with
ease.

 

Please forward this announcement to anyone who may be interested. For
questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact us at
netmail at icpsr.umich.edu.
