New Stata Module Simplifies Creation of Longitudinal Datasets for Child Study.
The LSACSETUP Stata module simplifies combining data from Australia's LSAC study into one dataset. It uses a single line of code to merge information from different LSAC files, household files, and NAPLAN files. Users can specify the data directories, variables needed, dataset name, and data release. The module also allows for including household or NAPLAN data and information from between-wave questionnaires. LSACSETUP currently only works with the general LSAC release and does not handle certain data files like PLE, TUD, or Medicare.
