Acknowledgments
The EASSDA (East Asian Social Survey Data Archive) is very pleased to publish codebook for the module survey of 2010(Health) by its archiving timelines. Preparation of the codebooks has been made possible by incessant efforts of all members of the
EASSDA (CGSS, JGSS, KGSS, and TSCS). Initial inputs, plus the constant updating and revision jobs afterwards, on the part of the JGSS Research Center were especially
helpful to finalize the codebooks, and the EASSDA would like to make use of this
opportunity to express its deep appreciations to all the four teams, JGSS in particular, for their times, energies, and commitments to collect, process, and eventually
disseminate the datasets of EASS module surveys. Data users are strongly asked to report any forms of works using the EASS data (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, etc.) to the EASSDA and they are also asked to cite the following
acknowledgement statement:
"East Asian Social Survey (EASS) is based on Chinese General Social Survey
(CGSS), Japanese General Social Surveys (JGSS), Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), and Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), and distributed by the EASSDA."
The EASSDA is certainly responsible in due courses for the mistakes and corrections, if any, on any part of the codebooks and datasets and would more than welcome short notices or requests from the users. Any queries about any parts of the codebooks and
datasets need to be directed to the EASSDA. Thank you very much.

An Introduction to the EASS/EASSDA
The EASS (East Asian Social Survey) is a biennial social survey project that purports to
produce and disseminate academic survey data sets in East Asia. As a cross-national
network of the four GSS-type surveys in East Asia--CGSS (Chinese General Social
Survey), JGSS (Japanese General Social Survey), KGSS (Korean General Social Survey),
and TSCS (Taiwan Social Change Survey)--EASS is dedicated to the promotion of
comparative studies on diverse aspects of social lives in East Asia. Launched in 2003,
EASS is one of the few internationally coordinated social survey data collection efforts,
and is truly unique in its East Asian focus.
At the 2008 General Meeting in Tokyo, Japan, an agreement has been reached to
establish and locate the EASSDA (East Asian Social Survey Data Archive), EASS's
central data archive, in the Academy of East Asian Studies in the Sungkyunkwan
University, Seoul, Korea. The mission of EASSDA is to integrate, harmonize, and archive
data and documentations of EASS module surveys so as to distribute and disseminate
them to the social science community all over the world.
The objective of EASSDA is to provide students and scholars in social science
community with an integrated EASS data sets collected by coordinated efforts of the
participating institutions in the four countries. In doing so, EASSDA endeavors
eventually to enable and promote as much comparative studies as possible on diverse
topics and issues unique to the East Asian society.
