description: This study includes data related to the 2021-2022 European Commission, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Action titled: Valvax: Evaluating the Long-Run Socioeconomic Effects of Childhood Vaccination, project #890475. Records containing replication files and underlying data will be populated as research findings are published.<br><br>This project studies how the Salk vaccine trial broadly affected public health during the 1950s and 1960s. Involving over 1.8 million child participants, the Salk trial is the largest vaccine trials ever conducted. This trial provided access to the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), established vaccination programs in schools, and provided many parents information about the safety and benefits of childhood vaccination.<br><br><b>OVERVIEW </b><br><b>dataset reference and name</b> <br>The VALVAX project uses already gathered data (reused) from both non-sensitive and sensitive sources. Below I describe the data sets constructed. <br><b><br>Non-sensitive data</b> <b>DS1 - </b>County by Year panel of mortality by select causes matched with public information on county characteristics and information on Salk trail participation, 1946 to 1970. <br><b>DS2 - </b>County by Year panel of newspaper articles referencing specific terms matched with public information on county characteristics and information on Salk trail participation, 1950 to 1970.<br><b>Sensitive data</b> <br><b>DS3 </b>- Set of annual survey responses of individuals in NORC General Social Survey Data. Matched with geographic information on Salk trial participation by residence at age 16, 1977-2018. Geographic information used for data linkages is confidential due to contract with data owner, NORC. <br><b>DS4 - </b>Individual level administrative data of complete count 2000 U.S. Census and SSA NUMIDENT.
