Of possible interest to health data science researchers:

The Monitoring the Future (MTF) project (http://monitoringthefuture.org/
> <https://umich.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de0acf23f8cd9a943b256ebd&id=7e7c06e93d&e=780598fd15>)
> is a long-term epidemiologic and etiologic study of substance use among the
> nation’s youth and adults. Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse
> since 1975, the MTF project has collected data annually from nationally
> representative samples of high school seniors.
>


> The four-day workshop will introduce participants to the MTF
> cross-sectional data (public-use and restricted-use) and the restricted-use
> longitudinal panel data available from the ICPSR/NAHDAP archives. The
> workshop will cover the content of MTF public release and restricted-use
> data, study documentation, data management and analysis planning, and, as
> time and interest allow, a variety of analytic techniques appropriate for
> data derived from a complex sample design. The workshop format will be a
> combination of in-person lecture and synchronous virtual participation via
> Zoom, discussions, and demonstrations followed by lab sessions for
> participants to work with a subset of the MTF restricted-use data. From
> 3-4pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, time will be available to meet with
> the instructors to discuss specific plans individuals have for applying for
> and working with the MTF data.

Free four-day workshop on long-running survey
Exploring and Analyzing Monitoring the Future Data: A Primer

Instructor(s):

   - Deborah D. Kloska, University of Michigan
   - Devi Putcha, University of Michigan
   - Yvonne Terry-McElrath, University of Michigan

Dates: June 27-30, 2022
Format: Hybrid (in-person or virtual)
Beginning in 1991, similar surveys of nationally representative samples of
8th and 10th graders have been collected as well. In all, approximately
50,000 students annually respond to about 100 drug use and demographic
questions, as well as to about 200 questions on subjects such as attitudes
toward government, social institutions, race relations, changing gender
roles, educational aspirations, occupational aims, and marital plans.

The MTF project also includes a longitudinal panel study component, now
spanning ages 19-60. For the young adults (ages 19-30), biennial follow-up
mail surveys have been conducted with subsamples of about 2,450 respondents
from each senior year class since 1976. Each subsample is randomly split in
half, to be followed every other year, meaning that one-half begins its
first follow-up the very next year at modal age 19, and the other half of
the sample begins its first follow-up in the second year at modal age 20.
Respondents receive the same survey form for follow-up as they completed as
high school seniors, and the follow-ups continue biennially through age 30.
When the selected panel respondents reach age 35 (middle adulthood), MTF
again reaches out to the panel respondents to obtain their continued
participation at 5-year intervals from age 35 through age 60. A single form
of the MTF survey is presented at each middle adult age covering many of
the same topics as the age 19-30 surveys and including additional questions
on life events, drug use, and health.


*Prerequisites:*  Strong interest in analyzing MTF data for publication in
peer-reviewed journals or similar reports; excellent understanding of
descriptive and regression analysis techniques; and demonstrated ability to
use SAS, Stata, R or SPSS software (using coding or syntax rather than a
GUI interface) for data management and data analysis. Familiarity with MTF
public-use data is helpful but not required.

*Eligibility:* The workshop is designed for researchers who have an
interest in using the MTF restricted-use data.

*Software:* The course will be taught using SAS 9.4. We anticipate that
users of other software can generalize to their statistical software of
choice.

*Application:* Admission to this workshop is competitive. Enrollment will
be limited to 12-15 participants. Apply using the Short Workshop
