New NHATS/NSOC Income Imputation Files4/10/2024
We are pleased to announce that new income imputation files have been released for NHATS and NSOC. We now provide researchers with 20 imputations using an interval regression methodology. To obtain the new imputation files, please redownload the data zip files. New technical papers describing the imputation methodology have been posted (and prior technical papers archived).
Additionally, value labels were corrected for the Part 1 interview mode variable (r11dpt1mode) on the NHATS Round 11 Sample Person (SP) file. Researchers working with this variable should redownload the file. The NHATS User Guide has also been updated to include an issue identified in Round 12 in how missing values were treated for interviewer observations about the home environment.
