National Longitudinal Mortality Study

Public-Use File Request Form

The NLMS Public-Use CD may be obtained for research purposes through the use of this Request form. In the creation of the NLMS Public-Use CD, variable content was restricted in order to protect the confidentiality of survey participants. Variables were permitted for use on the file if they would not lead to a record linkage potential with other public-use files. Important variables missing on the NLMS Public-Use file, which exist in the full NLMS study, include all geographical information and the complete NLMS follow-up history.
