摘要 该项目将向研究界提供来自两个纵向随机对照的微观数据 实施试验(RCT)以衡量国家支持的无条件现金转移的影响 在赞比亚的项目。数据集由一个基线波和多个干预后或随访组成 海浪。对家庭进行了多主题调查，从而产生了一系列潜在的研究 涉及人口和生殖健康以及人口学的问题。在其中一项随机对照试验中，一项特殊的调查 直接给住在家里的青少年服用，涵盖了心理和身体等主题 健康、志向、性经历和伴侣特征。这个青少年模块进一步扩展 可以向那些涉及成年过渡的人提出的一系列问题。随机性 对现金转移计划的分配使研究人员能够检查收入支持对 健康和幸福。该项目直接针对#年的人口动态处的任务。 美国国家卫生研究院支持人口统计学、生殖和人口健康领域的研究，并使用 政策实验。它符合人口统计研究的PDBS数据共享研究计划。

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.
