Remarks
Remarks
NDACAN is covered by Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index. Two different versions of the NSCAW data are available to members of the research community who meet eligibility criteria and agree to the requirements of the data license. The least restrictive version is known as the General Use Data. Identifying information and geographic detail have been removed from this version and variables posing a risk of respondent disclosure have been recoded to make identification of individuals unlikely. NDACAN recommends that researchers initially obtain the General Use Data when they are learning to use the NSCAW data.
If you plan to move forward with working on NSCAW data, NDACAN highly recommends that researchers obtain the NSCAW Restricted version for publication-level research, not the General version. The General Release version is suitable for gaining an understanding of the study structure and the required statistical methods, but the Restricted Release version has more data and greater research utility because geographic detail is present and fewer variables have been recoded. For more information about why the Restricted Release is recommended over than the General Release, please contact one of these NDACAN analysts: Holly Larrabee 607-254-4677 or Elliott Smith 607-255-8104.
