Pathways to Child Health and Function

描述（改编自研究者摘要）：这项拟议的研究汇集了一个由流行病学家、心理学家、社会学家、经济学家和统计学家组成的跨学科团队，专注于评估儿童的身体、情感和认知状况在多大程度上反映了父母社会经济地位、收入轨迹、经济压力和社区特征的影响。这些问题的分析将使用收入动态小组研究（PSID）进行，该研究自1968年以来一直是美国家庭经济状况数据的主要来源，并产生了600多篇期刊文章，250本书和书籍章节，以及350份政府报告，工作论文和论文。1997年，PSID开展了一项儿童补充计划（PSID- cds），该计划采访了所有PSID参与者，他们都是13岁以下儿童的父母，以及他们的一到两个孩子。psid - cds收集了儿童的身心健康、儿童行为问题、父母和儿童的社会心理状态（自我效能感、自尊、社会支持等）、儿童的认知能力、父母的态度数据、社区和学校特征等信息。它所收集的数据具有前所未有的深度和广度，这在全国具有代表性的样本中是前所未有的。通过将普查中收集的数据与儿童家庭（在某些情况下是祖父母）数十年来收集的数据联系起来，将有可能解决关于儿童健康和心理社会状态决定因素的一系列重点问题。(1)父母的社会经济地位（SES）、几十年来的社会经济地位轨迹和父母的经济压力与儿童身心健康、社会心理状态和认知发展之间的关系如何？(2)社区环境对儿童身心健康、社会心理状态和认知发展有何影响？3)种族/民族和移民身份与儿童身心健康、社会心理状态和认知发展之间的关系是什么？社会经济地位的个体测量和/或社区环境的测量是否解释或改变了种族/民族和移民身份对儿童身心健康、社会心理状态和认知发展的影响？(4)父母行为态度、家庭环境和家庭结构是否在社会经济地位、种族/民族效应与儿童身心健康、社会心理状态和认知发展之间起中介作用？(5)社区特征与父母教养行为态度、家庭环境、家庭结构有何关联？

DESCRIPTION (adapted from investigator's abstract): The proposed study brings together an interdisciplinary team of epidemiologists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and statisticians focused on assessing the extent to which children's physical, emotional, and cognitive status reflect the influence of parental socioeconomic status, income trajectories, economic stress, and community characteristics. Analysis of these issues will be conducted using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), which has been the premier U.S. source of data on the economic status of U.S. families since 1968, and has resulted in over 600 journal articles, 250 books and book chapters, and 350 government reports, working papers, and dissertations. In 1997, the PSID fielded a Child Supplement (PSID-CDS) that interviewed all PSID participants who were the parents of children under 13 as well as one to two of their children. The PSID-CDS-collected information on the physical and mental health of the children, child behavior problems, psychosocial states of parent and child (self-efficacy, self-esteem, social support, etc.), cognitive abilities of the child, attitudinal data from parents, and community and school characteristics. It represents a depth and breadth of data collection never before found in a nationally representative sample By linking data collected in the CDS with data collected in the PSID, representing decades of data on the children's families (and grandparents, in some cases), it will be possible to address a series of focused questions regarding the determinants of health and psychosocial states in children. (1) How are parental socioeconomic status (SES), SES trajectories over decades, and parental economic strain associated with children's physical and mental health, psychosocial states, and cognitive development? (2) What is the impact of the community environment on the children's physical and mental health, psychosocial states, and cognitive development? 3) What is the association between race/ethnicity and immigrant status and child physical and mental health, psychosocial states, and cognitive development? Do individual measures of SES and/or measures of the community environment account for or modify race/ethnicity and immigrant status effects on children's physical and mental health, psychosocial states, and cognitive development? (4) Do parenting behavior and attitudes, home environment, and family structure mediate the association between SES and race/ethnicity effects and children's physical and mental health, psychosocial states and cognitive development? (5) What is the association between community characteristics and parenting behavior and attitudes, home environment, and family structure?
