FAQ/Troubleshooting

Q: Is the data available in another format (.csv, excel, or SAS)?

A: We only offer the datasets as SPSS files. If you don’t own SPSS, you can download a trial version of the software from IBM. Search the web for “Trial Version of SPSS.”


Q: Is this dataset available for dates beyond what is listed on the data archive website?

A: The data is available for later dates but you will need to submit a proposal and pay for it. You can find information for this process here: https://heri.ucla.edu/data-access-for-researchers/


Q: I can’t remember my password. Can I get a password reset?

A: Yes, simply go to this page: https://heri.ucla.edu/data-archive/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword


Q: When I try to open the downloaded zip file on my mac I get an Error 79. How can I fix this error?

A: With certain versions of the Mac operating system, we have found that if you download the free app “Stuffit Expander” or another unzipping app, the files open successfully. You can search the web for this free plugin.
