The aim of MIDUS is to investigate the role of behavioral, psychological, and social factors in accounting for age-related variations in health and well-being in a nation sample of Americans. Over the years MIDUS has grown both in complexity and in the number of studies making up this important collection. This Webinar will review the structure of the MIDUS collection and offer insight into its research applications.”
