The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1946-1951 (Mid-age) Cohort Survey 5 data - Medications, 2007

This dataset refers to medication use of women, which was collected at wave five of the 1946-1951 (Mid-age) cohort.
ALSWH began in 1996, and consisted of three cohorts; the 1973-1978 (Young)
cohort, the 1946-1951 (Mid-age) cohort, and the 1921-1926 (Old-age) cohort.

questions asked. In essence, the surveys covered issues regarding overall
physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment
status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. The
