Linking Administrative Records to Add Health & Add Health Parent Studies

This project  assesses the feasibility and the cost of linking administrative records—including health, disability, labor earnings, retirement benefits and housing data—to the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth) and the Add Health Parent Study sample records. Linking these records will enable Duke researchers to examine a range of population health and health disparities issues. It also allows researchers to analyze important aspects of intergenerational linkages and familial relationships central to family demography.
