本文提供了脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究的重要背景信息,是第一篇也是唯一一篇提供研究方法和抽样策略详细信息的论文。这篇论文的大部分都致力于详细描述三个阶段的抽样过程,该过程用于获得美国大城市非婚生育的全国代表性样本。首先,有必要选取总体上具有全国代表性和政策制度差异最大的城市作为抽样。其次,有必要对医院进行抽样,以便在每个城市中具有非婚生育的代表性。最后,我们对出生进行抽样,以便在每个医院具有代表性。文章最后给出了研究的一些基本信息,并对前七个城市的基线非婚样本进行了简单描述。
This paper provides important background information on the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, and is the first and only paper to provide detailed information on the research methodology and sampling strategies employed. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a detailed description of the three-stage sampling process that was used to obtain a nationally representative sample of non-marital births in large US cities. First, it was necessary to sample cities that, collectively, were nationally representative and had maximum variation in policy regimes. Next, it was necessary to sample hospitals so as to be representative of non-marital births in each city. Finally, we sampled births in order to be representative of those at each hospital. The paper concludes with some general information about the study and a simple description of the baseline non-marital sample from the first seven cities.
