American Time Use Survey (ATUS) Well-Being Module Microdata Files

The ATUS Well-Being (WB) Module was fielded from January through December 2010. The WB Module data files contain information related to how people felt during selected activities, as well as general health information. This page includes links to the ATUS WB Module microdata files and supporting documentation. Researchers can use the WB Module microdata files to produce their own estimates or do other analyses. Each ZIP file contains a data file along with computer programs that will read the data file into SAS, SPSS, and Stata. The data files are in CSV-format (comma-separated values). The microdata files do not contain estimates.

More information about the ATUS WB Module is available from the sponsor, the National Institute on Aging.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: There was an error in the activity selection process for the 2010 Well-Being Module to the ATUS. Read More
