Do any of the data sets included in the SASHELP library contain longitudinal data (ideally healthcare-oriented data w/ repeated measures)?

 

This documentation doesn't answer the question, as far as I can tell.

 

Thanks.

Not really, General Social Survey, available as SAS data sets may be a good option.

Or maybe this one (see public use data sets)

The contents of the SASHELP library to an extent depend on which modules are licensed and installed. Not all but many of the modules will add data sets for specific examples.

 

If you are looking for example data to use with specific procedures I would recommend looking in your online SAS help under Learning to Use SAS in the Sample SAS Programs for the SAS module and procedure. There are likely to me one or more sets available.

 

In one sense, most of the data sets with DATE or YEAR variables have chance of being "longitudinal data" but not a lot of health data is represented in the basic SASHELP examples.
