Title: Data and Samples Available Through CHRR at The Ohio State University: The National Longitudinal Studies, Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive, and the American Population Panel
Stephen M. Gavazzi, Ph.D. is Director of CHRR at The Ohio State University, as well as a professor in the College of Education and Human Ecology at Ohio State. Dr. Gavazzi is responsible for the overall operations of CHRR, which serves as Ohio State’s center for data and survey excellence. His areas of expertise include a variety of topics within human development and family science (he is a trained marriage and family therapist), with a special emphasis on matters concerning families with adolescents. Professor Gavazzi also has a strong interest in issues surrounding higher education, including leadership, campus-community relationships, and the mission of land-grant universities. His latest book (What’s Public About Public Higher Ed? published in 2021 by Johns Hopkins University Press) was based on survey data collected using CHRR’s American Population Panel.
CHRR at The Ohio State University supports two large longitudinal databases – the National Longitudinal Studies (NLS) and the Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive (OLDA) – as well as housing the American Population Panel (APP), a group of 45,000+ volunteer members who have agreed to participate in social science and health related studies for research purposes. CHRR Director Steve Gavazzi will present information on these databases and related research tools that are available to researchers and policymakers through Ohio State’s center for survey and data excellence.
