New research tools for exploring disability, rehabilitation-related national-survey and administrative claims data


Finding Disability and Rehabilitation Data and Repositories
Thursday, May 21st
Wednesday, March 27th from 3-4pm Eastern

Secondary datasets are valuable resources for testing hypotheses and generating meaningful statistics related to disability and rehabilitation. We will demonstrate two online resources designed to help researchers learn about:

  • Datasets related to disability and rehabilitation
  • Topics covered by different datasets
  • How to access the datasets
  • Tools to explore and analyze the data
  • Additional dataset resources and how you can share your own data

Presenters:

William Erickson, Sarah von Schrader
K. Lisa Yang and Hock E. Tan Institute on Employment and Disability

Rehabilitation Dataset Directory is a browse-able/searchable database providing an overview, description, sample and other pertinent information for over 50 datasets.

ADDEP is a data repository that acquires, preserves, and disseminates research data on disability and rehabilitation providing researchers an interactive space to explore and analyze secondary data.

A joint Cornell University and ADDEP Webinar
November 13th from 1-2pm EDT

Secondary datasets are valuable resources for testing hypotheses and generating meaningful statistics about issues related to disability and rehabilitation. This presentation will introduce two web-based resources designed to help researchers learn about:

  • Datasets related to disability and rehabilitation
  • Topics covered by different datasets
  • How to access the datasets
  • Tools to explore and analyze the data
  • Additional dataset resources and how you can share your own data

Finding Disability and Rehabilitation Related Data: What's in it for You?
Tools for locating national-survey and administrative data
May 5, 2017, 2:00 - 3:00 PM EDT

Secondary datasets such as national surveys and administrative data are valuable resources for testing hypotheses and generating national-level statistics about disability and rehabilitation related-issues. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to identify what datasets are available and what data are most appropriate for addressing a specific research interest.

This presentation will introduce two innovative web-based resources designed to help researchers learn:

  • What datasets related to disability and rehabilitation are out there?
  • What topics are covered in each dataset?
  • What are the dataset strengths and limitations?
  • How do I access the datasets?

Presenters:

  • Bill Erickson, M.S., Research Specialist, Yang Tan Institute on Employment and Disability
  • Sarah von Schrader, PhD., Research Associate, Yang Tan Institute on Employment and Disability

The Rehabilitation Research Cross-dataset Variable Catalog has been developed through the Center for Large Data Research & Data Sharing in Rehabilitation (CLDR). The Center for Large Data Research and Data Sharing in Rehabilitation involves a consortium of investigators from the University of Texas Medical Branch, Cornell University's Yang Tan Institute (YTI), and the University of Michigan. The CLDR is funded by NIH - National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, through the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. (P2CHD065702).
