**Call for Proposals!** The National Couples’ Health and Time Study team is taking proposals for items to be added to the next wave of NCHAT, slated for late Spring 2025. More details and application instructions can be found here: z.umn.edu/nchatw3cfp Deadline: November 22!

The public use data has been updated with a new variable, AAPI, which indicates respondents who indicated Asian or Pacific Islander for their race/ethnicity. This now makes it easier to include these populations using the public data!

Using item response theory and @NCHATstudy data, we found that individuals with lower incomes (<200% FPL) were systematically disadvantaged on the CSI-4. On average, at the same true levels of satisfaction, they scored 1.38 units lower than higher-income individuals. (4/8)
