New ATUS-X data extraction tool now available !
The Maryland Population Research Center and the Minnesota Population Center are pleased to announce the release of Version 1.0 of the American Time Use Survey Data Extract Builder (ATUS-X). ATUS-X is designed to help researchers work with data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Interested researchers can explore the new ATUS Data Extract Builder at www.atusdata.org.
The central goal of the ATUS-X project is to make it easy for researchers to prepare ATUS data files that are ready for analysis. Version 1.0 of the ATUS Data Extract Builder allows researchers to:
Define study populations for data extracts;
Create measures of time in user-defined activity aggregations, broken out as desired by time of the day, by location and by whether the respondent was engaged in caring for children during the activity;
Select personal and household characteristic variables for inclusion on the data extract.
ATUS-X also provides researchers with accessible and comprehensive documentation.
If there are others in your department or network who might be interested in knowing about the new American Time Use Survey Data Extract Builder, we hope you will spread the word !
