EdSHARe: Repurposing Two Large, Representative, and Diverse Education Cohort Studies for Research on How Education Shapes Later-Life Health and Cognition
The US Department of Education conducts cohort studies every decade on nationally representative high school students, collecting data from various sources. An interdisciplinary team of researchers has repurposed two cohort studies from the 1970s (National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class (NLS-72)) and 1980s (High School and Beyond (HSB)) to study aging and later life well-being. These longitudinal studies provide an excellent opportunity for STEM education researchers to learn about the long-term impact of a wealth of educational experiences. This talk will provide information about the 2021 HSB and 2025 NLS-72 follow-ups, featuring measures of cognitive functioning, health, and socioeconomic outcomes, along with surveys, cognitive assessments, health visits, biomarkers, and administrative records. It will also explain how to gain access to the data. These efforts are part of the Education Studies for Healthy Aging Research (EdSHARe) project.
