The Transition from Childhood into Adulthood among PSID Children, 2013 and 2015

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将在2013年和2015年进行成年过渡期（TA）研究的最后两波，该研究是收入动态小组研究（PSID）的一部分。PSID始于1968年，是一项对具有全国代表性的美国家庭样本进行的纵向调查，在43年（截至2011年）的37次浪潮中收集了同一家庭及其后代的数据。TA研究将捕捉3653名年龄在0 - 12岁的PSID儿童从童年、青春期到成年早期的整个发展过程，这些儿童于1997年参加了PSID儿童发展补充计划（CDS）的第一波项目。2002年，研究人员在这些儿童5至18岁的时候收集了第二波CDS， 2007/08年收集了第三波CDS，当时这些儿童的年龄在10至18岁之间。2005年，当年龄最大的CDS参与者从高中毕业时，PSID启动了成年过渡期（TA）项目。设计了一个过渡性面试，其中的问题连接了CDS和PSID的内容。到目前为止，这批学生已经完成了三波助教——2005年、2007年和2009年，第四波助教将于2011年进行。在这个项目中，我们将在2013年和2015年进行最后两波TA，以捕捉CDS队列中最年轻成员的过渡。具体目标是：首先，在2013年从收集数据时已年满18岁的CDS青年中收集60分钟的信息；第二，在2015年再次从CDS青年中收集60分钟的信息，到收集数据时，他们都将年满18岁；第三，在PSID-CDS基于web的在线数据中心档案中记录和分发这些数据，并促进cd - ta组合档案的使用。对于已经参加培训的非传染性疾病青年，2013年和2015年的培训将为这一关键发展时期增加两轮额外信息。对于2011年至2015年间年满18岁的剩余CDS青年，我们将收集一到两波新的数据，具体取决于他们年满18岁的确切时间。这些数据对于我们理解当今美国人从青春期到成年期的转变至关重要。通过用TA数据增强CDS中丰富的面板信息，该项目将提供丰富的CDS-TA面板，涵盖从出生和学龄前到小学和中学，然后进入职场或接受高等教育的儿童，并与早期家庭形成相结合。虽然从出生到25岁中期的丰富小组本身就很有价值，但随着他们在PSID的整个生命历程中继续学习，关于这些孩子的信息将会增加。此外，由于这些孩子是原始PSID家庭的直系后代，因此可以使用当前在线工具在PSID在线数据中心进行代际和历史分析。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will conduct the two final waves in 2013 and 2015 of the Transition into Adulthood (TA) study that is part of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Begun in 1968, PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally-representative sample of U.S. families and has collected data on the same families and their descendents for 37 waves over 43 years (as of 2011). The TA study will capture the full process of development from childhood, through adolescence, and into early adulthood for a cohort of 3,653 PSID children aged 0 to 12 years who in 1997 were enrolled in the first wave of the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS). A second wave of CDS was collected on these same children in 2002 when they were 5 to 18 years old and a third wave was collected in 2007/08 when the children were 10 to 18 years of age. PSID launched the Transition into Adulthood (TA) project in 2005 as the oldest CDS participants graduated from high school. A transitional interview was designed with questions that bridge the content of the CDS and the PSID. Three waves of TA have been completed on this cohort to date-in 2005, 2007, and 2009-and a fourth wave is underway for 2011. In this project, we will conduct the two final waves of TA in 2013 and 2015, to capture the transition for the youngest members of the CDS cohort. The specific aims are to: First, collect 60 minutes of information in 2013 from CDS youth who have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; second, to collect 60 minutes of information again in 2015 from CDS youth, all of whom will have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; and, third, to document and distribute these data in PSID-CDS web-based Online Data Center archive and promote the use of the combined CDS-TA archive. For CDS youth already enrolled in TA, the 2013 and 2015 waves will add two additional rounds of information on this critical developmental period. For the remaining CDS youth who reach 18 years of age between 2011 and 2015, we will gather one or two new waves of data, depending on exactly when they turn 18 years of age. These data are critical for our understanding of the transition from adolescence into adulthood in the U.S. today. By augmenting the rich panel information in the CDS with the TA data, this project will provide a rich CDS-TA panel of children from birth and preschool through primary and secondary school and then through entry into the world of work or of higher education in conjunction with early family formation. Although a rich panel from birth to the mid-20s is valuable in its own right, the information on these children will be augmented as they continue in the PSID through their full life course. Moreover, because these children are the lineal descendants of the original PSID families, one can use currently on-line tools for intergenerational and historical analysis in the PSID Online Data Center. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The early adult years, between the ages of 18 and 28, is a period when individuals are no longer adolescents but many have not yet completely assumed adult roles in all domains of life. We currently know little about the personal and social characteristics that either facilitate or impede the successful passage through this period into a productive adulthood. This project continues building a national data resource for studying these issues by collecting the PSID Transition into Adulthood study for 2013 and 2015.
