Thanks for bumping this! I feel like I’ve inadvertently created kind of a secret resource - only the people who know about it know about it (I guess that’s true for everything but you know what I mean)

also, the drop in response rates is pretty astonishing (I think it was above 60% in 2017-2019 NSFG; it's ~23% in new wave), though there have been RR declines in other major surveys too.

I know a bunch of folks use the interactive NSFG codebook I put together for earlier waves imaddowzimet.github.io/NSFGCodebook/; it looks like the new survey wave still doesn't have a searchable codebook (just a PDF) so I'll work on folding it in (but give me a week or two!)

(as always, if folks have any questions about the study - how to access the data, what we are measuring, how our study design works - feel free to reach out! Always happy to connect; our goal is for these estimates to be useful and used).

We've also updated (as we do every month!) our estimates of clinician-provided abortions in states without total bans on our study page (www.guttmacher.org/monthly-abor...). Estimates of counts now go through August 2024, and there's a ton of other data you can download and explore.

(also, yes, I'm dichotomizing; probably shouldn't do that! But this is what I could more or less easily code during the space of time that my daughter was temporarily distracted watching Sesame Street)

Thanks for making this Chelsea! Was just thinking I hadn’t seen an SRH starter pack yet (+ trying to get some other folks we know to move on over here)

If you need output interspersed with code I love markstat grodri.github.io/markstat/; or you can write things in Quarto in combination with statamarkdown. users.ssc.wisc.edu/~hemken/Stat...
