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 2006 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 keywords in common, or appear in similar sections in different years.
In order to use the Concordance efficiently, 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.
