ACL’s newly enhanced AGing Integrated Database (AGID) features links to Administration on Disabilities (AOD) programs, as well as new data products from the Administration on Aging’s (AOA) programs and reporting systems.
AGID is an online query system that enables data users to access and analyze data in a centralized location. It has convenient features such as quick table formats supplemented by map and chart graphical representations, interactive maps, pre-populated tables of key data elements, and detailed multi-year tables available for query. The new enhancements expand AGID to include links to disability programs and data collection activities, as well as new aging-related data products.
A few of the major enhancements include:
On the “Data Files” page, this page now includes links to:
- Administration on Disabilities programs;
- Administration on Disabilities funded data collection activities;
- Current Administration on Aging evaluation activities; and
- Contact information for people asked to participate in AOA surveys or studies, or who are interested in accessing evaluation data for research purposes.
In addition to the Administration on Aging’s resources on the "Data Files" page:
- National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants; and
- American Community Survey Special Tabulation on Aging.
On the “Resources” page, this page now includes a dropdown feature providing users with a variety of new data products such as Data Stories, Blog Posts, and Issue Briefs created from AOA's State Program Reports, Title VI Services, National Family Caregiver Support Program, and National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants. New data products from these programs will be posted during the next few months. Look for new data products from the National Ombudsman Reporting System to be posted in the near future!
If you would like more information about these new and exciting enhancements, learn how to access the data for research, or help make AGID better, please provide feedback on the website or contact Lan.Marshall@acl.hhs.gov.
