Flood and Williams from IPUMS will provide an overview of key data collections for this research area and Glicksman, Diederich, and Davey will provide examples on how they use the data in their research. Glicksman will show how he uses the American Community Survey (IPUMS USA) data to study immigrants in the Philadelphia area. Diederich has used the National Health Interview Survey (IPUMS NHIS) to study immigrants’ intended use of long-term care services and supports. She will present how country of origin affects immigrants’ choices. Davey’s research has focused on cross-national comparisons, among others.
