title: IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) Gender Measure: Domestic Violence Gun Ownership by State, United States, 1991-2020
title: Archival Version

description: The IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data series includes measures of disparities, policies, and counts, by state or county, for historically marginalized populations in the United States including Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latina/o/e/x, and LGBTQ+ persons, and women. The IPUMS CDOH data are made available through ICPSR/DSDR for merging with the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) by approved restricted data researchers. All other researchers can access the IPUMS CDOH data via the IPUMS CDOH website. Unlike other IPUMS products, the CDOH data are organized into multiple categories related to Race and Ethnicity, Sexual and Gender Minority, Gender, and Politics. The CDOH measures were created from a wide variety of data sources (e.g., IPUMS NHGIS, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Movement Advancement Project, and Myers Abortion Facility Database). Measures are currently available for states or counties from approximately 2015 to 2020. The Gender measures in this release include state-level domestic violence and gun ownership, which denotes whether a state has a law that prohibits domestic violence offenders from owning firearms above and beyond federal law. To work with the IPUMS CDOH data, researchers will need to first merge the NCHAT data to DS1 (MATCH ID and State FIPS Data). This merged file can then be linked to the IPUMS CDOH datafile (DS2) using the <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable.
description: The purpose of this study is to provide researchers the ability to merge the NCHAT (National Couples' Health and Time Study) data with the Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH).
description: DS1 "MATCH ID and State FIPS Data" provides a <b>MATCH_ID</b> variable and <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable to allow users to merge the IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data with the NCHAT (National Couples' Health and Time Study). DS2 "Sexism State Domestic Violence and Gun Ownership Data" denotes whether a state has a law that prohibits domestic violence offenders from owning firearms above and beyond federal law. Please refer to page 2 of the User Guide for the formula used to create this binary variable. Once the NCHAT data is merged with the IPUMS CDOH data using DS1, it can then be merge with DS2 via the <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable.
description: DS2 includes 3 variables and 1,500 cases. There are variables for <b>STATEFIPS</b> and <b>YEAR</b>. The last variable, <b>INDICATOR_DV</b> is a binary variable (0 / 1) indicating whether a state has a law prohibiting domestic violence offenders from owning firearms in a particular year.

description: record abstractsDS1 is the exact same file as the other "MATCH ID and State FIPS Data" files from the other studies within this IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) series.For DS2, the data is limited to the 50 United States. There is data for all 30 years from all 50 states and Washington from 1991 to 2020. There is no data for Washington D.C. or other U.S. territories.
