Data Dictionaries

Data dictionaries are available for both Core and the Next of Kin Surveys, as well as for the 1982-2004 Analytic File. Also included under 'Data Dictionaries' are listings of variables both alphabetically and by ASCII position and well as variables not generated by the Survey itself ('Study Variables'). Data dictionaries for linked Medicare files are provided as available.
