Harmonization Study Design
A harmonised dataset can be created for each wave and population according to the ATHLOS DataSchema and the harmonisation codes located on Github:
DataSchema: https://athlos.pssjd.org/ws/file-dl/network/athlos/DataSchema_ATHLOS.xlsx
Harmonisation codes: https://github.com/athlosproject/athlos-project.github.io/tree/master/LASI
Please contact us if anyone is interested in harmonising LASI study pilot data via the ATHLOS DataSchema.
LASI population
The LASI pilot survey was conducted in 2010 in four India states: Punjab and Rajasthan in the north, and Karnataka and Kerala in the south. The survey was fielded in the dominant language of each state. These four states were chosen to capture the demographic, economic, health, and cultural diversity of India.
