One of our primary objectives is to provide access to data that facilitates analysis within and across multiple data sources.
Whenever possible, we use harmonized name for the dataset variables/fields/common. Note that this does not implies that they are directly comparable, as meaning will vary across sources due to differences in definitions, data collection methods, and other factors.
