Since its launch in 2017, the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (NPHA), which is directed by the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and sponsored by AARP and Michigan Medicine, has fielded surveys two times per year to a national sample of over 2,000 adults age 50-80 living in the U.S. Covering a wide range of topics related to healthy aging, the NPHA is a reputable source of timely information related to the behaviors, attitudes, and perspectives of older adults on important health and health care issues.
During this virtual seminar, NPHA data lead Matthias Kirch will provide an overview of the NPHA, share examples of how poll data has been used, and offer tips and answer questions about accessing and using NPHA data. Matthias will specifically highlight the data available in NPHA Wave 8, newly released through the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA)’s Open Aging Repository.
