   • "all", "life_quality", "sanit_habit", "violence", "educ", "communic", "mortality", or "deforest"

2. raw_data: there are two options:

   • TRUE: if you want the data as it is originally.
   • FALSE: if you want the treated version of the data.

3. time_period: can be 2014, 2018, 2021, or a vector with some combination thereof

data <- load_ips(
  dataset = "deforest", raw_data = FALSE,
  time_period = 2018, language = "pt"
)
