The baseline, one-year, and three-year follow-ups of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing project data are now available on PopNet UNIX. A companion study, In-Home Longitudinal Study of Preschool Aged Children is also available with this release.

Please note that users must register with the Office of Population Research (OPR) at Princeton University in order to access the data. Once you register, you will need to apply to obtain access to the data (short form asking for brief statement of your research plan, agree to FF’s usage terms and conditions). Researchers may download the data to their own machines, but if it is preferable to use the FF collection on PopNet UNIX, users must forward their approvals from the FF project (user ID and password are not in this email) to the Data Archivist. Once confirmation of approval is received the Data Archivist will add approved users to a restricted FF users group for access to the collection.
