Dynamics of Family Well-Being in a Low Income Setting

描述(由申请人提供)：利用发达国家的纵向数据进行的研究证明了小组调查对于理解一系列与儿童和年轻人有关的基本问题的价值。然而，来自发展中国家的长期运行的太阳能电池板很少。印度尼西亚家庭生活调查(IFLS)就是这样一项调查，对于对低收入环境下的儿童和年轻人感兴趣的研究人员来说，它是一个宝贵的资源。到目前为止，我们已经收集了三轮完整的数据，分别是1993年、1997年和2000年。所有这些都是公共领域的，事实证明，它们的结合在加强我们对重要的经济、人口和健康行为和结果的理解方面非常有用。我们建议在2006年举行第四轮国际足联足球赛。该项目名为“低收入环境下的家庭福祉动态”，将把印度尼西亚儿童和年轻人的第四波数据公之于众，这些数据涵盖了自1993年以来的13年，以及更长时间的回溯信息。这将是关于发展中国家儿童和年轻人的运行时间最长的社会经济小组数据集之一。有了更长的小组，研究人员将能够更好地探索许多主题，例如检查从童年到青春期，从青春期到青春期的转变。相关数据将包括纵向健康信息，这类信息通常不会出现在长时间的社会科学小组中。例如，这将使研究人员能够检查儿童早期的健康结果如何与青春期的健康和非健康结果相关。IFLS4建立在过去IFLS调查中一套非常完善的问卷和实地方案的基础上。我们将在过去几次浪潮中收集的一套已经创新的身体健康指标和生物标志物基础上增加新的措施，并将为社区设施调查开发模块，以便评估最近重大的社会服务权力下放如何影响卫生和教育服务的质量、价格和可获得性。最后，我们将继续在前几波中实施的一些与实地有关的方法创新，这些创新极大地提高了调查的质量。这些基础是跟踪家庭以确保高随访率的方法(在IFLS2和IFL3中，这两个比率分别为94%和95%)。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research using longitudinal data from the developed world has demonstrated the value of panel surveys for understanding an array of fundamental questions pertaining to children and young adults. Long running panels from developing countries, however, are few and far between. The Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) is one such survey, and it has been valuable resource for researchers interested in studying children and young adults in low income settings. To date we have collected three full rounds of data, in 1993, 1997, and 2000. All are in the public domain, and in combination have proved highly useful with regard to enhancing our understanding of important economic, demographic, and health behaviors and outcomes. We propose to conduct a fourth full round of IFLS in 2006. This project, "Dynamics of Family Well- Being in a Low-Income Setting", will put into the public domain a fourth wave of data on children and young adults in Indonesia covering a 13 year period since 1993, and longer with retrospective information. This will represent one of the longest running socio-economic panel data sets on children and young adults in a developing country. With the longer panel, researchers will be able to better explore many topics, such as examining the transitions from childhood to adolescence, and from adolescence to young adulthood. The relevant data will include longitudinal health information of the sort that is not usually present in long social science panels. This will enable researchers to examine how health outcomes in early childhood, for example, are related to health and to non-health outcomes in adolescence. IFLS4 builds on a very well-developed set of questionnaires and field protocols from past IFLS surveys. We will add new measures to the already innovative set of physical health measures and biomarkers collected in past waves, and we will develop modules for the community-facility surveys that allow assessment of how a recent and major decentralization of social services has affected the quality, price, and availability of health and schooling services. Finally, we will continue a number of field-related methodological innovations implemented in previous waves that dramatically raised the quality of the surveys. Fundamental to these are methods of tracking households to ensure high follow-up rates (they were 94 percent and 95 percent, respectively in IFLS2 and 3).
