We all know about the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). We also (hopefully) know that the harmonized version is easy to download from our friends at IPUMS. What you may not know is that sample sizes are large enough to do good research on the U.S. immigrant population. Hooray! But I have more good news. This past weekend at the iHEA World Congress in Boston, I learned about the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). OK, it is only for California, but it's a large data set and there are lots of questions specifically pertaining to immigrants--including parents country of birth and visa status! UConn grad students, if you're interested in looking into this for your dissertation, come see me.
For even more data sets related to health, see here.
