Social Science Electronic Data Library (SSEDL)The Social Science Electronic Data Library (SSEDL) is an extensive health and social science resource in cooperation with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Columbia University’s institutional subscription gives current Columbia University affiliates an all-access pass to the database product, which contains 318 datasets on topics including adolescent pregnancy, alternative medicine, disability, HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance abuse and more. SSEDL is unique because nearly 70% of its datasets are exclusive to the database.
