Are you new to the National Longitudinal Studies (NLS)? Or have you used it before but are a little rusty?
This will be a great time to come and learn about some amazing longitudinal cohort studies. This workshop will provide an overview of the NLS, highlight some of the ways in which these data can be used for research across the life course, and offer a brief look at the variety of NLS studies that have been done on a wide range of topics by researchers from many different disciplines. Elizabeth Cooksey, professor of sociology and director of the Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR), and Rosella Gardecki, research specialist at the CHRR, will conclude with a step-by-step demonstration of how to access the NLS Investigator database and documentation, so that you get an introduction on how to search and download data relevant to your own research interests.
