## About the data for the lesson

You can find more information about the data used for the workshop on the [Social Science Workshop Overview lesson](https://datacarpentry.github.io/socialsci-workshop/data.html).

This lesson in particular uses three files: SAFI_clean.csv, SAFI_messy.xlsx, and SAFI_dates.xlsx, which you can download in the [Data section](https://datacarpentry.github.io/spreadsheets-socialsci/#data) of the lesson.

You can also read the [DATA_README.md](DATA_README.md) file, with descriptions of the data and fields in each of these three files.
