Harmonized Data


The Gateway Harmonized MHAS is produced in collaboration with the Gateway to Global Aging Data project. The Gateway to Global Aging Data (www.g2aging.org) is a web-based resource for accessing multidisciplinary panel data on aging, health, and retirement from the international family of Health and Retirement surveys.


The Gateway Harmonized MHAS file incorporates data from the core interview data, the master follow-up file, household roster data, and next-of-kin data. Also available is the Gateway Harmonized MHAS End of Life focusing on the next-of-kin interview and a Gateway Harmonized Mex-Cog file focusing on the MHAS Cognitive Ancillary Study.
