Replication Data for: Health and Voting in Young Adulthood

Do changes in health lead to changes in the probability of voting? Using two longitudinal datasets, we look at the impact of three measures of health—physical health, mental health, and overall well-being—on voting trajectories in young adulthood. The results show that self-rated health is associated with a lower probability of voting in one’s first election, depression is related to a decline in turnout over time, and physical limitations are unrelated to voting. We also find that some familial resources from childhood condition when the health-participation effect manifests.
