DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, is modeled after the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS). SHARE is also tightly harmonized with the English Longitudinal Study on Aging (ELSA) and the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement (JSTAR). As opposed to HRS, ELSA and JSTAR, SHARE is a multi-country study which currently involves 20 countries with 27 language versions. SHARE has collected three waves of data in 2004, 2006 and 2008 and is currently in its 4th wave. The third wave in 2008 deviated from the strict panel design and collected retrospective life histories. The multitude of countries with their institutional variety and languages, combined with a large interdisciplinary set of variables stored in about 25 modules per wave, and the differentiation into individual-, couple- and household-level data, make SHARE a very complex data set. This complexity appears to reduce the usage of SHARE in non-European countries, in particular the US, and limits its potential as a widespread tool for cross- national comparisons in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic, healthcare and social policy environment. The aim of this project is to create a simplified and HRS-adapted dataset for researchers who are less experienced in the quantitative analyses of complex panel data and for student training and teaching. This dataset will include the same number of respondents and proxy reports as the main distribution of SHARE but will be restricted to a subset of variables. This will allow storing the database as a single file without the need for complex merges of database modules across the individual-, couple- and household-levels. In addition, we will add generated variables, such as indexes and recoded health, demographic, social and economic measures, which allow for direct analyses without extended data preparations. All variables will be labeled and documented using common descriptors adapted to the American language and the US institutional environment, with a synopsis targeted to comparisons with HRS. The simplified and HRS-adapted SHARE data set will be made available free of charge in the format of various statistical packages. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The long-run substantive aim of this project is to popularize the tool of cross-national comparisons in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic, healthcare and social policy environment.

描述(由申请人提供)：欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查是以美国健康和退休研究(HRS)为蓝本。SHARE也与英国老龄化纵向研究(ELSA)和日本老龄化与退休研究(JStar)紧密协调。与HRS、ELSA和JStar不同，Share是一项多国研究，目前涉及20个国家，27种语言版本。Share在2004年、2006年和2008年收集了三波数据，目前正处于第四波。2008年的第三次浪潮背离了严格的面板设计，收集了回顾生活的历史。许多国家的机构和语言各不相同，再加上每波约25个模块中存储的大量跨学科变量，以及对个人、夫妇和家庭一级数据的区分，使共享数据成为一个非常复杂的数据集。这种复杂性似乎减少了在非欧洲国家(尤其是美国)对SHARE的使用，并限制了其作为跨国比较的广泛工具的潜力，以便更好地了解老年人的健康结果与经济、医疗和社会政策环境的关系。该项目的目的是为在复杂面板数据的定量分析以及学生培训和教学方面缺乏经验的研究人员创建一个简化的、适应HRS的数据集。此数据集将包括与份额主要分布相同数量的受访者和代理报告，但将限于变量子集。这将允许将数据库存储为单个文件，而不需要跨个人、夫妇和家庭级别的复杂数据库模块合并。此外，我们还将增加生成的变量，如指数和重新编码的健康、人口、社会和经济措施，以便在不延长数据准备的情况下进行直接分析。所有变量将使用适应美国语言和美国制度环境的通用描述符来标记和记录，并带有旨在与HRS进行比较的摘要。将以各种统计资料包的形式免费提供简化的、经HRS改编的份额数据集。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的长期实质性目标是普及跨国比较这一工具，以便更好地了解老年人的健康结果如何与经济、医疗保健和社会政策环境有关。
