DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A significant portion of children display marked problem behaviors that interfere with their healthy development, such as psychiatric dysfunction, violence, delinquency, substance use, and premature sexual activity. There is general agreement that problem behavior constellations are best understood as multi-factorial, the complex interaction over time of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. While progress has been made in explicating some of these determinants and the processes by which they affect disordered behavior, we have a long way to go to a full understanding of any one constellation. There are now many longitudinal studies that have produced rich data on one or more problem behaviors in childhood, but the full potential contributions of most of these are far from being realized. Identifying the best of these studies, and making the data from them much more readily available to the scientific community to conduct secondary analysis will advance knowledge about the development of problem behaviors in childhood. Sociometrics will develop a set of research-based products that identify and increase accessibility and sharing of high quality yet underutilized data resources in the field of Childhood Problem Behaviors. Although there are many rich sources of data in this field, no collection of longitudinal data in this topical area is currently available for public use. To meet these needs Sociometrics will develop a data archive with innovative value-added ancillary resources: Product 1, the Data Archive of Longitudinal Studies on Childhood Problem Behaviors (DALSCPB), will consist of an online and CD-ROM collection of important longitudinal studies on Childhood Problem Behaviors studies. The archive will include content-rich longitudinal studies that are not currently available for public use as well as those studies in the public domain that may not have received widespread use among the research community. Product 2, the Longitudinal Data Analysis Guide, is intended for researchers, analysts, or instructors who wish to use the data archive for longitudinal or meta analysis. The purpose of the Guide is to introduce data users to current concepts and techniques in longitudinal data analysis, impart knowledge that will increase data users' ability to use longitudinal data effectively, and provide real-life examples of how longitudinal analysis techniques are applied to actual data using studies from the archive. Our aim is to provide detailed examples of various longitudinal analysis techniques in addition to information about typical methods and practices. Product 3, the Online Search Assistant for Childhood Problem Behaviors Studies, is a search tool for researchers who are using the archive. This product will assist researchers in finding studies that meet their research or analysis requirements and will serve as a valuable resource for instrumentation, questionnaires, and other documentation that facilitates data use. The Search Assistant is conceptualized as a keyword- and field-based search tool utilizing CGI programming. Examples of predefined searches include study title, constituency of the sample, population of inference, number of variables, scales and instrumentation, and variable content.

描述（由申请人提供）：很大一部分儿童表现出明显的问题行为，这些行为会干扰他们的健康发展，例如精神病功能障碍，暴力，犯罪，使用物质和过早的性活动。人们普遍认为，问题行为星座最好被理解为多因素，这是生物，心理和社会学因素的复杂相互作用。尽管在阐明其中一些决定因素及其影响无序行为的过程方面取得了进展，但我们还有很长的路要达到对任何一个星座的充分理解。现在，有许多纵向研究在童年时期就有一种或多种问题行为产生了丰富的数据，但是其中大多数的全部潜在贡献尚未实现。确定这些研究中的最好的研究，并使科学界更容易从中获得数据进行二次分析，这将提高有关童年问题行为发展的知识。社会计量学将开发一套基于研究的产品，这些产品在儿童问题行为领域中识别和增加高质量的可访问性并共享未充分利用的数据资源。尽管该领域有许多丰富的数据来源，但目前在该局部区域中没有收集纵向数据的收集。为了满足这些需求，社会计量学将开发具有创新增值的辅助资源的数据存档：产品1，关于儿童问题行为纵向研究的数据存档（DALSCPB），将包括在线和CD-ROM的儿童期问题行为研究的重要纵向研究。该档案将包括目前尚不可用于公共用途的内容丰富的纵向研究，以及在公共领域中的研究，这些研究可能在研究界可能没有广泛使用。纵向数据分析指南的产品2旨在为希望使用数据存档进行纵向或元分析的研究人员，分析师或讲师。该指南的目的是向纵向数据分析中的当前概念和技术介绍数据，赋予知识，以提高数据用户有效使用纵向数据的能力，并提供现实生活中的示例，说明使用档案中的研究将纵向分析技术应用于实际数据。我们的目的是提供各种纵向分析技术的详细示例，以及有关典型方法和实践的信息。产品3是童年问题行为研究的在线搜索助手，是用于使用档案的研究人员的搜索工具。该产品将帮助研究人员找到满足其研究或分析要求的研究，并将作为仪器，问卷调查和其他促进数据使用的文档的宝贵资源。搜索助手是利用CGI编程的基于关键字和现场的搜索工具的概念。预定义搜索的示例包括研究名称，样本的选区，推理群体，变量数量，量表和仪器数量以及可变内容。
