Register now for our webinar, Measuring spatial accessibility to healthcare: An applied example using IPUMS PMA data, taking place on August 11 at 10:00am CT.

There is a strong connection between place, healthcare access, and health, however the data traditionally used to measure spatial access are not universally available; this issue is particularly acute in countries with the poorest health outcomes. Building on a series of posts on the IPUMS DHS Spatial Analysis and Health Research Hub Blog, we are conducting a hands-on, step-by-step demonstration of a raster-based healthcare accessibility workflow in Python and R using globally-available, free, and high-resolution data. We will describe open-source code for measuring access to health care infrastructure across space, then attach this measure to spatially-referenced individual data in the Kenya 2020 data in IPUMS PMA. https://bit.ly/45GRIUZ

Our workshop participants are very engaged and seem extremely focused on what Evan Roberts has to share about MLP and other linking projects.

It's day 2 of the Data-Intensive Research Conference workshop. Today we are diving deeper into linking historical data to modern surveys, MLP and other linkage projects, and incorporating geography. We'll end the day with a social.

It's the end of day 1 of our Data-Intensive Research Pre-Conference workshop! Now it's time take a tour of IPUMS headquarters, socialize, and relax before another full day tomorrow.

So excited to hear from our panel at the D-IRC Workshop on Research Application of Linked Data. We'll hear from Andrew Fenelon, J. David Hacker, and Rae Anne Martinez. https://lcc.umn.edu/DIRC-workshop

Post lunch - we've got Matt Nelson and Cheyenne Lonobile going over accessing linked data on IPUMS USA and considerations for data analysis. workshop

We are excited to kick off the week of the Data-Intensive Research Conference with a workshop on using linked, full-count census data from IPUMS.

The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) project links individuals' records between censuses from 1850 to 1950. At our D-IRC workshop, we are starting off with an overview of IPUMS MLP and then record linking strategy - and then lunch!

MLP Linked Data IPUMS USA collects, preserves and harmonizes U.S. census microdata and provides easy access to this data with enhanced documentation. Data includes decennial censuses from 1790 to 2010 and American Community Surveys (ACS) from 2000 to the present.

Starting now at the D-IRC workshop - an overview of the IPUMS Full Count Census Data with our own, super knowledgeable Matt Sobek. https://lcc.umn.edu/DIRC-workshop
