At IPUMS we try to address every user’s questions and suggestions about our data. It is just one feature that adds value to IPUMS data. Over time, many questions are often repeated.

IPUMS is offering harmonized versions of two important youth health surveys: the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). This work was done in collaboration with NORC at the University of Chicago and with funding from the Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products. Funding did not include a dissemination system, but IPUMS and NORC did not want this valuable work to be lost, so interested researchers may download a single file for each dataset that harmonizes all variables and contains all available years of data (as of June 2017).
