# Data


This lab doesn't collect fresh data. We use archival data that others have collected.

## Sources in general

### Publicly Available Data

I have a sampling listed here. The main list is in the [Secondary Dataset Repositories][https://osf.io/ra8yg/wiki/home/]

#### University Archives
- [Harvard Dataverse][http://dataverse.harvard.edu/]
- [Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)][https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb]


#### Government Data


##### NLSY

[National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY)] contains 4 generations of data and a replication sample that is nationally representative of the united states. It's got tons of good stuff in it. And is a staple data set in the lab for sibling comparison designs.

The [NLSY79 topical guide](https://www.nlsinfo.org/content/cohorts/nlsy79/topical-guide) is a good place to get started.


### Limited Access Data

- Kelly/Connolly Longitudinal Study (KCLS)

## Genetically Informed Data
