Getting Started with NCHAT Webinar

Thursday, August 18, 2022, 11 am - 3:30 pm CST

Registration

Co-Sponsored by the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota, the Center for Family and Demographic Research at the Bowling Green State University, and the Data Sharing for Demographic Research at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan

Join the NCHAT team for a half-day workshop. The National Couples' Health and Time Study (N = 3,642 main respondents and N = 1,515 partner/spouses) is the first fully powered, population-representative study of couples in America that includes racial and ethnic diverse and sexual and gender diverse individuals. NCHAT was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic and includes dyadic survey, time diary, experience sampling, and geospatial data. NCHAT is uniquely suited to address COVID, stress, family functioning, and physical and mental health, and includes an abundance of contextual and acute measures of race and racism, sexism, and heterosexism.  

In this workshop, we will:

  1. Introduce the NCHAT data.
  2. Discuss NCHAT sample demographic characteristics.
  3. Review NCHAT measures and time diary data.
  4. Demonstrate how to access the public use and restricted data.
  5. Discuss individual and couple-level weights.
  6. Provide dedicated time to answer participant questions about NCHAT.

Researchers who have downloaded the public use NCHAT data will get the most out of the workshop. You can download the data after July 19th. We will post the link then, and we will email everyone who is registered the link to download the data as soon as it is available.
