DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract): Accurately modeling the life-course through panel survey interviewing can be enhanced by making gains in the quality, of retrospective reports in wave-to-wave and intake interviews, and by applying these gains to supplement intake and core wave-to-wave interviews with the collection of new lifetime variables. An Event History Calendar (EHC) questionnaire methodology has considerable potential toward improving the quality of retrospective reports in comparison to standardized question-list (Q-list) methods. As a methodological study, this proposed project will test the quality of social health, and economic retrospective reports provided by both EHC and Q-list methods. Panel surveys would also benefit by collecting information on very early conditions. As a substantive study, this proposed project will collect information on intrauterine conditions and those of very early childhood and model their association with adult chronic conditions, with appropriate controls for health conditions and socioeconomic status as experienced during later childhood and adulthood. Specifically, this proposal will seek to 1) Modify two computer assisted interviewing EHCS, one with a 2-year reference period, and one with a lifetime reference period that both measure key social, health, and economic events. 2) Measure the quality of retrospective reports from EHC and Q-list methods for a lifetime reference period and assess the impact of the face-to-face mode in comparison to telephone mode with a short-term reference period EHC. 3) Examine the survey cost implications of EHC and Q-list interviewing methods through measures of interviewing time and interviewer and respondent burden. 4) Assess the ability of 2-year retrospective reports on health care utilization that are collected by EHC methods to provide annual estimates of health care costs. 5) Test the ability of EHC and Q-list methods to supplement existing, panel data with high quality lifetime retrospective reports during intake interviews on new variables that have not been collected during core interviewing. Seek to strengthen causal inferences on the relationship between early and later life conditions. 6) Draw implications from the findings in using EHC interviewing methods in future panel waves, supplemental panel data collection, and intake panel surveys. The project is designed to incorporate three phases corresponding to pretesting, data collection, and analytic activities. The first phase will modify existing 2-year and lifetime retrospective CAT-EHCS. Data collection activities will consist of a pilot test of the two-year EHC, and a validation test of lifetime reports provided by EHC and Q-list interviewing methods. During the last year, analytic techniques will be applied to the data to assess the degree to which any EHC improvements to data quality and completeness extend the life-course inferences that can be drawn from panel survey data.

描述（申请人的摘要）：通过 小组调查访谈可以通过提高质量， 回顾性报告，在波到波和摄入量的采访，并通过应用 这些收益，以补充摄入量和核心波到波的采访， 新生命周期变量的集合。事件历史日历（EHC） 问卷调查方法有相当大的潜力，以改善 回顾性报告与标准化问题列表的质量比较 （Q-list）方法。作为一项方法学研究，该项目将测试 社会健康质量，以及经济回顾性报告， EHC和Q-list方法。小组调查也将受益于收集 关于早期情况的信息。作为一项实质性研究，本文提出 该项目将收集有关子宫内状况的信息， 儿童早期和模型与成人慢性疾病， 适当控制健康状况和社会经济地位， 在童年后期和成年期经历的。具体而言，这项提案 我将寻求1）修改两个计算机辅助面试EHCS，一个与一个 2-一个是一年的参考期，另一个是一个终身的参考期， 衡量关键的社会、健康和经济事件。2)衡量质量 来自EHC和Q列表方法的回顾性报告，用于终身参考 评估面对面模式的影响， 具有短期参考期EHC的电话模式。3)检查调查 EHC和Q列表面试方法的成本影响， 访谈时间以及访谈者和受访者的负担。4)评估能力 收集的关于卫生保健利用的2年回顾性报告 通过EHC方法提供医疗保健费用的年度估计。5)测试 EHC和Q列表方法补充现有面板数据的能力， 在对新员工的访谈中提供质量终身回顾性报告 核心访谈中未收集的变量。寻求 加强对早期和晚期生活之间关系的因果推断 条件6)从使用EHC访谈的结果中得出启示 未来面板波的方法，补充面板数据收集和摄入量 小组调查。该项目旨在包括三个阶段 对应于预测试、数据收集和分析活动。的 第一阶段将修改现有的2年和终身回顾性CAT-EHCS。 数据收集活动将包括两年期环境卫生标准的试点测试， 以及EHC和Q-list提供的寿命报告的验证测试 采访方法。在过去的一年里，将应用分析技术， 以评估EHC对数据质量的任何改善程度 和完整性扩展了可以从面板中得出的生命过程推断 调查数据
