Description

The Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) is a comprehensive community and family panel study in Nepal that follows all family members wherever they move with exceptional measurement of the social environment. The CVFS is among very few whole family panel studies, following a general population sample, and measuring changes in the experiences of each family member. This design enables research on parents and children, siblings, husband-wife marital dynamics, and migrants, including international migrants. Subjects measured in the CVFS include land use and the natural environment; household production and consumption; full histories of education, work, marriages, and childbearing; sex and contraceptive use; child health; mental health; migration; and attitudes and beliefs. This workshop provides an overview of the CVFS and updates new and current users on the latest CVFS data resources, their potential uses, and tutorials and tools available to begin working with CVFS data.
