Appendix B:  Original Cohort Dictionary of Key Words

Return to Table of Contents

 


On the original data tapes, the Young Women’s data were searchable by “keyword”—that is, the user could select from a predetermined list of key common words in variable titles.  Although this search option has been replaced by the any word search, the keywords remain in the variable titles.  This list of keywords used for the Young Women’s cohort is provided to help researchers focus their any word searches by employing common words included in variable titles for a given topic.
