背景技术背景：社会流行病学的部分目的是了解社会因素-思想，信仰，态度，行为和社会联系-如何影响健康。然而，国家卫生数据集没有跟上公共卫生这一前沿领域不断变化的需求。社会学的数据集，包含这样的信息，反过来，提供有限的健康信息。调查结果：我们的团队已经前瞻性地将三十年的综合社会调查数据，通过2008年的死亡率信息，通过国家死亡指数。在本文中，我们描述的样本，数据集的核心要素，和分析considerations.CONCLUSIONS：一般社会调查，全国死亡指数（GSS-NDI），将于2011年10月公开发布，将有助于塑造未来的社会流行病学和其他前沿领域的公共卫生研究。
BACKGROUND: Social epidemiology seeks in part to understand how social factors--ideas, beliefs, attitudes, actions, and social connections--influence health. However, national health datasets have not kept up with the evolving needs of this cutting-edge area in public health. Sociological datasets that do contain such information, in turn, provide limited health information.FINDINGS: Our team has prospectively linked three decades of General Social Survey data to mortality information through 2008 via the National Death Index. In this paper, we describe the sample, the core elements of the dataset, and analytical considerations.CONCLUSIONS: The General Social Survey-National Death Index (GSS-NDI), to be released publicly in October 2011, will help shape the future of social epidemiology and other frontier areas of public health research.
