National Longitudinal Mortality Study
The NLMS database was developed to examine the relationships between self-reported demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and mortality among a representative sample of the US non-institutionalized population. SEER registry cancer patient records for 1973-2003 are linked with the NLMS database to provide additional opportunities for analyzing socioeconomic and demographic differentials in cancer incidence, survival, and tumor characteristics.
