DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to support work by NACDA in the development of enhanced archival research materials and extraction tools that facilitate the use of the NHANES study. The current application focuses on core enhancements that will establish a archival framework using the five most recent NHANES panels (1999 to 2008), creating a more uniform data collection and performing a thorough evaluation of historical documentation and related metadata that are not currently part of the NHANES public use files but could facilitate original research and grant development. NACDA has supported the NHANES since the mid-1980's but the evolving nature of the study requires we reevaluate our existing archival model. A recent evaluation of data quality has identified specific enhancements that will make the data more accessible for secondary research and introduce it to a broad new community of researchers. We propose to implement a focused archival delivery system that will allow us to address four distinct research needs: 1) Enhancements to Data Structure: We will update and standardize the NHANES data to meet current archival standards for biomedical data collections. 2) Enhancements to Documentation: We will significantly enhance the extensive documentation currently available for the NHANES. This will include user- friendly versions of codebooks, crosswalks, and cross-indexing questionnaires and other survey instruments. More importantly, we will create dynamic link driven online documentation files for the NHANES using XML, DDI compliant file format standards. 3) Enhancements to Biomedical Data Content: We will review the NHANES collection of biomedical, laboratory and clinical data files and dynamically link the data fields to their associated documentation for straightforward reference. These files represent the strength and core value of NHANES study but are difficult for researcher new to biomedical and biosocial research to use effectively. 4) Enhancements to Value Added Support Services: We will provide the NHANES a full suite of support tools and value added products. Included in this suite of tools will be analysis ready system files, the capacity to use the NHANES within our web-based analysis system and the studies inclusion in our dynamic online bibliography that is searchable and has stable links to all electronically available publications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative This work addresses the organization of research data to provide access to and information on biological and medical indicators of health and make it more accessible to social scientists. The project will help researchers develop original research that studies the impacts of medical tests, obesity and other health factors on the lives of individuals and how their demographic, economic and educational characteristics impact health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资金支持NACDA在开发增强的档案研究材料和提取工具方面的工作，以促进NHANES研究的使用。当前的应用程序着重于核心增强功能，该核心增强功能将使用五个最新的NHANES面板（1999年至2008年）建立档案框架，从而创建了更统一的数据收集，并对NHANES公共用途目前不属于的历史文档和相关元数据进行了彻底的评估，但可以促进原始研究和授予开发。 NACDA自1980年代中期以来一直支持NHANES，但研究的不断发展的性质要求我们重新评估现有的档案模型。对数据质量的最新评估已经确定了特定的增强功能，这将使数据更容易成为二级研究，并将其引入广泛的新研究人员社区。我们建议实施一个重点的档案交付系统，该系统将使我们能够满足四个不同的研究需求：1）增强数据结构：我们将更新和标准化NHANES数据，以满足当前生物医学数据收集的档案标准。 2）对文档的增强：我们将显着增强当前可用于NHANES的广泛文档。这将包括用户友好的代码书，人行横道和交叉指数问卷和其他调查工具的版本。更重要的是，我们将使用XML，符合DDI的文件格式为NHANE创建动态链接驱动的在线文档文件。 3）增强生物医学数据内容：我们将回顾NHANES的生物医学，实验室和临床数据文件的收集，并将数据字段动态链接到其关联的文档以直接参考。这些文件代表了NHANES研究的强度和核心价值，但对于新来的生物医学和生物社会研究的研究人员很难有效使用。 4）增强增值支持服务的增强功能：我们将为NHANES提供全套支持工具和增值产品。该套件中的工具包括分析现成的系统文件，在我们的基于Web的分析系统中使用NHANE的能力以及我们的动态在线参考书目中包含的研究可以搜索，并且具有稳定的链接，可以稳定地链接到所有电子上可用的出版物。公共卫生相关性：项目叙述这项工作涉及研究数据的组织，以提供有关健康的生物和医疗指标的访问和信息，并使社会科学家更容易获得。该项目将帮助研究人员开发原始研究，以研究医疗测试，肥胖和其他健康因素对个人生活的影响以及其人口，经济和教育特征如何影响健康成果。
