3-113 - Examining child development: Data available for secondary analysis from the Departments of Education & Health and Human Services

Session Type: Federal Agency Symposium

Integrative Statement

This symposium describes opportunities for secondary data analysis and datasets available from the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services that can be used by researchers to address questions related to child development. Presentations address the benefits of using secondary data and descriptions of data available for secondary data analysis from the following studies: the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011); the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B); the National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES); Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study; the Child Development Supplement to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics; the Child Sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979; the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study; the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey; the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD); the Family Life Project (FLP) birth cohort study of children growing up in rural poverty; the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE); the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES); Alaska Native Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (AI/AN FACES); and the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Study (Baby FACES). Each of the presentations describe the populations to which the studies generalize, the key features of the studies, research issues that can be investigated with the studies, and how to access the study data. The session concludes with information on tools and resources available to support secondary data analysis at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).
