Documentation » Question Concordance

This documentation resource lets researchers scan the metadata of publicly released HRS datasets in order to find information that may be of use in analysis efforts. The Concordance covers the biennial HRS datasets collected during the period 1992 through 2010 that are available to the public. It contains one record for each of the questions represented by one or more variables in a specified public file. Concordance records are linked over time only in that they have have the same base variable name, have keywords in common, or appear in the same section over muntiple years.

To assist in efficient use of the Concordance, researchers may wish to review the User Notes page, which contains category coding information, section definitions, hints on how to formulate search queries, and retrieval/display recommendations.

Not all questions are repeated for each wave; certain questions are only asked of respondents every second, third, or fourth wave. Visit the Alternate Wave Questions Master Chart for further information.

The RAND Corporation has developed a Survey MetaData Repository containing cross-wave and cross-study tools that allow HRS data to be used in conjunction with other studies in the HRS family. Details here.
