SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 1-5\, 2026 Course - Introduction to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:June 1-5\, 2026 M-F\n10:00am - $3:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course. \n\nIntroduction to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Workshop\n\nThe Health and Retirement Study (hrs.isr.umich.edu) workshop is intended to give participants an introduction to the study that will enable them to get started using the data for research. HRS is a large-scale longitudinal study with more than 20 years of data on the labor force participation and health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. This online workshop is intended for users who have little to no experience using HRS data.\n\nContent lectures delivered by HRS co-investigators and content area experts on basic survey content\, sample design\, weighting\, and restricted data files will be available on the course website for viewing ahead of time. During the week of the workshop\, each content lecturer will participate in a Zoom meeting with the class to answer questions about their lecture. The majority of each day will be devoted to data labs in which participants will gain experience using the data\, with a strong focus on introductory data management and simple data analysis.\n\nAmanda Sonnega\, PhD\, is a Research Scientist in the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan (UM)\, where she is responsible for integrating communication\, outreach\, and education efforts for the Health and Retirement Study. She received her doctorate through the Department of Health\, Behavior\, and Society at the Johns Hopkins University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship within the ISR program in Social Environment and Health. Dr. Sonnega has lectured in the UM School of Public Health on psychosocial factors in health-related behavior. Her research focuses on life course trajectories of physical and mental health\; institutional and personal factors associated with vulnerability and resilience in aging individuals\; and work transitions and their broad effects on health and well-being.
