Great to see ⚡ research at the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science - IAPHS conference!

First up - McKing Amedari at University of Mississippi Medical Center using IPUMS NHIS data. The study highlights strong links between health service deficits and delayed dental care due to costs among 18-64 year olds.

Next check out this great poster from Radhika Prasad and Montasir Massum, "Nativity affects Mortality risk for Gen X cohorts but not Millennials" also using IPUMS NHIS data.

We love to see all the amazing research people do with IPUMS data!

Talk data with IPUMS expert Julia Drew at the 2024 Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science - IAPHS conference! We'd love to see and hear from you.

It's⚡️ Research Friday! Check out "Changing the mindsets? Education and the intergenerational spread of tolerance for physical violence against women in Zimbabwe" by Marshall Makate and Chamunorwa Nyamuranga using IPUMS International 👇

Changing the mindsets? Education and the intergenerational spread of tolerance for physical violence against women in Zimbabwe - PubMed We investigate the relationship between childhood exposure to interparental violence and adult tolerance for violent beliefs against women. For individuals who have witnessed parental violence in childhood, our analysis suggests a 14.3-15.2 percentage point (pp) increase in tolerance, highlighting t...

The newest IPUMS DHS CC&H Research Hub post continues our discussion of NDVI! This time, we demonstrate various approaches for producing DHS cluster-specific NDVI metrics prior to attaching to DHS survey responses.

IPUMS DHS Research Hub — Aggregation Methods for NDVI Data We use data from two distinct climates to illustrate approaches to processing NDVI data

The latest post from the IPUMS DHS CC&H Research Hub introduces techniques for building a robust workflow for loading NDVI data in R. Stay tuned for the next post which will continue to explore ways in which NDVI can be included in population health analyses!

IPUMS DHS Research Hub — An Iterative Workflow for Loading NDVI Data in R Use purrr and terra to efficiently integrate NDVI data across multiple spatial extents

We're hiring! Check out this great Data Analyst position working with IPUMS International. Application deadline is August 4, 2024 - so don't wait to apply! http://z.umn.edu/9nwu

ISRDI is seeking a data analyst interested in international census and survey data to join our diverse team of research and technology professionals. We are looking for a technically minded person who enjoys working with data and can learn new skills and knowledge quickly. The person should have some prior knowledge of spatial datasets. Along with the census microdata, IPUMS International also disseminates GIS boundary files that have consistent spatial boundaries across time and space. In this position, you will transform information from a variety of sources to a consistently structured, fully documented, spatial dataset that is ready for use by researchers and policymakers. The Data Analyst will also participate in other tasks, including user support, outreach, and involvement in other IPUMS projects.

The latest post from the IPUMS DHS CC&H Research Hub provides an introduction to NDVI, a popular remote sensing metric with applications for measuring food production and its effects on health outcomes and behaviors!
