NSHAP: National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project

NSHAP is a U.S. national, longitudinal, population-based collection of respondent health and social factors with public and restricted use versions of the data files. NSHAP is funded by NIA and conducted by NORC and Principal Investigators at the University of Chicago. The public use files are available for direct download from the study pages (visit series page link below).

Users will need to apply for access by completing the restricted-use agreements for each study; NSHAP also requires IRB approval and a data protection plan (example protection plan can be found in the agreements). Completed use agreements with scanned original signatures should be sent to icpsr-nacda@umich.edu .
