A DDI-based extraction tool for harmonized longitudinal data.

Adhering to a metadata standard greatly clarifies the processes used to
capture and produce datasets, and provides users of those datasets the
information needed to
analyze, interpret, and preserve them. Standards are even more important
with longitudinal studies that contain thousands of variables and many
different data types.

The MIDUS study (Midlife in the United States) is a complex longitudinal
study of health and well-being with widespread secondary usage, largely due
to its availability through NACDA and ICPSR. Conceiving of aging as an
integrated bio-psychosocial process, MIDUS has a broad and unique blend of
social, health, and biomarker data collected over 20 years through a
variety of modes. For nearly 10 years, MIDUS has relied on DDI to help
manage and document these complex research data. In late 2013, the National
Institute on Aging funded MIDUS to upgrade its DDI infrastructure to
version 3.2 and create a DDI-based, harmonized data extraction system. Such
a system allows researchers to easily create documented and citable data
extracts that are directly related to their research questions and allows
more time to be spent analyzing data instead of managing it. This
presentation will explain the rationale, methods, and results of the
project.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Please share the invitation
broadly.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the webinar.
