Slide Presentations in R with Quarto
We've been preparing for an upcoming workshop by building our first presentation with Quarto and Revealjs. Here's what we've learned so far.
Webinar: Did COVID-19 Impact Contraceptive Use?
Breakout sessions for both R and Stata users show how to use panel data from IPUMS PMA to model contraceptive adoption and discontinuation during the first year of the pandemic.
Introducing Longitudinal Service Delivery Point Data
A new feature makes it easy to locate facilities surveyed in multiple rounds of SDP data collection. Plus, new Client Exit Interview data are now available!
