What resources are online to help me work with the KFS data?
There are several resources online to help you in working with these data.
• The KFS Data Wiki is a place where the research community can post and share their own research in the Examples pages, pose questions to the community in the Research Forum, or dig deeper into specific variables in the Data Dictionary page.
• There is a document called "Study Metadata Documentation", which gives a variable list with the variable name, its label/description, and information such as the type of variable and format. It is a data dictionary/codebook. Many parts of this document are now components of the Data Wiki.
• There are also four annotated questionnaires, which contain the surveys themselves, as well as the associated variable names with each survey question. You can find these documents, in addition to many other documents that you might find helpful as well, by clicking on SSRN.
• Additionally, the Kauffman Foundation has sponsored a series of webinars which are available for researchers wanting to use the data: Common researcher questions, Research presentations from scholars
