摘要 本项目将向研究界提供两个纵向随机对照组的微观数据， 为衡量国家资助的无条件现金转移支付的影响而实施的随机对照试验（RCT） 赞比亚的节目。数据集包括一个基线波和多个干预后或随访 波对住户进行了多主题调查，从而可能进行一系列研究 涉及人口、生殖健康和人口学的问题。在一项随机对照试验中， 直接对生活在家庭中的青少年进行，涉及的主题包括精神和身体方面的问题， 健康、愿望、性经历和伴侣特征。这个青少年模块进一步扩展 可以向那些涉及向成年过渡的人提出的一系列问题。随机 分配到现金转移计划允许研究人员检查收入支持的因果关系， 健康和幸福。该项目直接涉及人口动态分支（PDB）的使命， 美国国立卫生研究院支持人口学、生殖健康和人口健康领域的研究， 政策实验。它符合PDB关于人口研究数据共享的研究计划。

Abstract This project will make available to the research community microdata from two longitudinal randomized control trials (RCTs) that were implemented to measure the impact of state-sponsored unconditional cash transfer programs in Zambia. The data sets consist of one baseline wave and multiple post-intervention or follow-up waves. Multi-topic surveys were administered to households resulting in a range of potential research questions spanning population and reproductive health and demography. In one of the RCTs, a special survey was administered directly to adolescents living in the household, covering topics such as mental and physical health, aspirations, sexual experiences and partner characteristics. This adolescent module further expands the range of questions that can be addressed to those involving the transition to adulthood. The random assignment to the cash transfer program allows researchers to examine the causal effect of income support on health and well-being. This project directly addresses the mission of the Population Dynamics Branch (PDB) of the NIH to support research in the areas of demography, and reproductive and population health, and the use of policy experiments. It fits within the PDBs research program on Data Sharing for Demographic Research.
