Dataset: Early-childhood housing mobility and subsequent PTSD
in adolescence: a Moving to Opportunity reanalysis
------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Abstract**
In a 2014 report on adolescent mental health outcomes in the Moving to Opportunity
for Fair Housing Demonstration (MTO), Kessler et al. reported that, at 10-
to 15-year follow-up, boys from households randomized to an experimental housing
voucher intervention experienced 12-month prevalence of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) at several times the rate of boys from control households. We reanalyze
this finding here, bringing to light a PTSD outcome imputation procedure used
in the original analysis, but not described in the study report. By bootstrapping with
repeated draws from the frequentist sampling distribution of the imputation model
used by Kessler et al., and by varying two pseudorandom number generator seeds
that fed their analysis, we account for several purely statistical components of the
uncertainty inherent in their imputation procedure. We also discuss other sources
of uncertainty in this procedure that were not accessible to a formal reanalysis.
