As a resource for researchers or others who want to explore the data on their own or conduct their own analyses, Pathways to Work publishes a set of Excel files that contain the data published on the website in spreadsheet form. There are three files, each of which presents a segment of the data.
These three files are accompanied by a codebook that lists the fields and describes the data included in each data file.
- The study-level file includes descriptive information on each study, including the services provided in the program and comparison groups. Each row of the file represents a single study that Pathways to Work reviewed. This file does not include information about the individual findings or impacts.
- The study outcome-level file describes the impacts on earnings, employment, public benefit receipt, and education and training outcomes for all studies with a moderate or high study quality rating. Each row of the file represents a single finding or impact from a study that Pathways to Work reviewed and rated high or moderate.
- The program-level file includes information on each program, aggregated from the individual studies of that program. Each row of the file represents a single program for which Pathways to Work has assigned effectiveness ratings for each outcome domain.
