Research on the dynamics of health and well-being among economically disadvantaged elderly persons will be significantly enhanced by the fielding of a panel data set including relevant measurements which will be prepared for public release. We will design and field a 5,000 household resurvey of poor households headed by or containing an elderly member. This survey will be fielded in 1997 and resurvey households interviewed in the baseline survey in 1993. The fact that the baseline is already in place represents a major savings in the money and time needed to produce a panel data set. Together with the baseline survey, the second wave of data will support research on important dynamic aging processes such as the transition from self-sufficiency to dependency, the decline from robust health to frailty, labor force and earning dynamics, wealth accumulation and decumulation, living arrangements and intergenerational transfers. A particular focus will be the development of a variety of appropriate measures of mental and physical health and of health care utilization. In order to facilitate comparative studies of aging dynamics in poor and non-poor populations, the survey will be purposely designed to complement efforts such as the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) and the Assets and Dynamics (AHEAD). However, on average, survey participants will be considerably more impoverished. The survey will also be designed to take advantage of changes in the provision of social security and health insurance. The baseline and follow-up will straddle an exogenously-introduced expansion of the social safety net available to the working poor.

研究经济上受影响的人的健康和福祉的动态 将大大提高弱势老年人的 一个小组数据集的现场，包括相关的测量， 准备公开发布。我们将设计并建造一个5,000户 重新调查以老年人为户主或有老年人的贫困家庭。 这项调查将于1997年进行， 1993年的基线调查。事实上，基线已经在 地点代表了生产所需的资金和时间的重大节省 面板数据集。与基线调查一起，第二波 数据将支持对重要的动态老化过程的研究， 从自给自足到依赖的转变， 强健的健康到虚弱，劳动力和收入动态，财富 积累和递减、生活安排和代际 转账。一个特别的重点将是发展各种 身心健康和保健的适当措施 利用率为了便于对衰老动力学进行比较研究， 在贫困和非贫困人口中，调查的目的是 补充工作，如健康和退休调查（HRS）和 资产和动态（AHEAD）。然而，平均而言，调查参与者 会更加贫困调查还将设计 利用提供社会保障方面的变化， 健康保险.基线和后续行动将跨越一个 由外部引入的扩大社会安全网， 穷人工作。
