PSID Data User Workshop

This five-day, in-person only workshop will orient participants to the content and structure of the core PSID interview, its special topics modules, and its supplemental studies, including the Child Development Supplement (CDS) and the Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS). In addition, we will discuss topics including the recently-released and newly collected genomics data collected from 2014-2023 as well as new data files which explain family relationships and demographic characteristics over time.

Activities will be divided between lecture sessions, discussions, and hands-on labs, allowing ample time for breaks. Lecture sessions will cover topics such as study design, changes to content and sample composition over time, rules for following sample members into new households, and weighting. Classroom lab sessions using PSID data extracts will illustrate key concepts and participants will develop their own analytic data files under the guidance of project staff.

Course management will be through Canvas and class meetings will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Travel stipends will be available for those who do not have accessible funding.
