Survey data sources
The tutorial discusses complex survey data and highlights potential data sources. Key datasets with survey features include the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), and the European Social Survey (ESS), among others. Many of these sources, like NHANES and ESS, have specific R packages for data retrieval. In addition, there are other data sources such as the Vanderbilt Biostatistics Datasets and the World Bank Open Data, with the latter also offering dedicated R packages for data access.
