Dissemination of Data from Randomized Controlled Trials for Demographic Research

摘要 该项目将为研究界提供来自两个纵向随机对照的微观数据 为衡量国家资助的无条件现金转移支付的影响而实施的试验（RCT） 赞比亚的项目。数据集由一个基线波和多个干预后或随访波组成 波浪。对家庭进行多主题调查，产生了一系列潜在的研究 涉及人口、生殖健康和人口学的问题。在其中一项随机对照试验中，一项特别调查 直接针对家庭中的青少年进行，涵盖心理和身体等主题 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解决的一系列问题。随机的 现金转移计划的分配使研究人员能够检查收入支持对 健康和福祉。该项目直接解决了人口动态分支（PDB）的使命 NIH 支持人口学、生殖和人口健康领域的研究，以及使用 的政策实验。它符合人口统计研究数据共享的 PDB 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.
