New
2001-2002 Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC)
The data and documentation files for the 2001-2002 HBSC are now available for download and online analysis.
Redesigned SAMHDA Web Site
SAMHDA is pleased to announce the launch of our newly designed Web site. A few of the new features include:
- Search functions combined in a single box that repeats on each page
- Improved organization and navigation tools
- Citing our data: Footnote on each page
- HTML codebooks for studies (View Codebooks) provide quick, easy access to study documentation and variable level detail
The launch of the new Web site coincides with release of a new version of our online analysis software, Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA, version 3.1). This version provides variable selection and analysis in same screen and point-and-click variable selection. Also, users can now switch between the various statistical procedures without returning to the main analysis page. For more information on these changes, please read our Frequently Asked Question (FAQ), "What enhancements are available when using SDA 3.1?"
Upcoming

HBSC Quick Tables
Within the next several weeks, we will make new Quick Tables available for the 1995-1996 and 2001-2002 HBSC studies.
Ongoing
You may now order the SAMHDA brochure.
We welcome the submission of citations based on SAMHDA or ICPSR data; just email them to bibliography@icpsr.umich.edu.
We appreciate the appropriate citation for analyses using data obtained from SAMHDA. Each SAMHDA study description and codebook includes a suggested bibliographic citation for the data.
You can now conduct specific variable searches on our Web site for all studies on the online Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) system. This utility will search the question text and variable and value labels for thousands of variables at once. This is helpful for finding specific variables (e.g., for studies with large numbers of variables or when you don't know which studies included a variable you need) and question wording (e.g., for comparisons across studies).
The Variable Search form is located at the top of every SAMHDA page.
You may review email messages sent to our listserv from our announcements archive.
