Sheltered vs. Unsheltered Codebook
2024-08-16
Overview
Overview
This codebook summarizes findings and data about Sleep Status for Sheltered and Unsheltered based on data from the University of Washington (UW) 2023 Seattle area homeless count project. The count was led by Zack W. Almquist (Lead - PI), Paul Hebert (Co-PI), Nathalie Williams (Puget Sound Data Oversample PI), Amy Hagopian (Co-PI), June (Junhe) Yang (Data Scientist Lead DSSG PhD).
The data were collected using two different surveys, referred to as UWRDS and UWRDS-PSD in the codebook. Data from both surveys were harmonized for this codebook. We note where question phrasing differed across surveys and when a variable was collected in only one survey.
This codebook and corresponding links were compiled by Data Science
for Social Good (DSSG) summer fellows, in alphabetical order:
- Felix Junior Appiah Kubi,
- Brooke Kaye,
- Jess Robinson, and
- Rebecca Schachtman,
with the support of Data Scientist, June (Junhe) Yang, and Project Lead,
Zack Almquist.
We employ RDS methods for the population level statistics (details, here). For information on funding and a full list of contributors, see Acknowledgements.
