DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Social Context and Fertility: A Mixed-Methods Approach to Survey Development Fertility preference measurements are critical to assessing the reproductive health needs of individuals and populations and serve as a means to assess the effectiveness of national family planning programs, the achievement of demographic goals, and the degree to which individuals' or couples' fertility intentions are achieved. Despite a long history of research on fertility and fertility intentions, the measurement and predictive validity of fertility intentions remains poor and knowledge about the effects of changing social context on fertility is rudimentary. The proposed K01 Career Development Award supports the development of Dr. Jessica Gipson as an independent social science and public health researcher and integrates two areas for further training and investigation: (a) the independent and potentially synergistic effects of social context domains, and (b) the role of couple relationships and couple interactions on fertility preferences and behavior, for the purpose of broadening the conceptualization and improving the measurement of fertility preferences. This research is relevant to the NICHD mission and stated interest in research relevant to understanding the complex social, economic and cultural factors that impact populations. The goals of the grant are to (1) extend Dr. Gipson's public health and demographically-based training and knowledge related to fertility intentions and behavior to incorporate recent advances in social psychological theory and research on couple dynamics, interaction, and decision-making and how they affect fertility intentions and behavior, (2) engage in didactic instruction on advanced statistical methods (3) conduct new research on fertility and fertility intentions using a unique intergenerational, longitudinal dataset, (4) from the research findings and training in psychological theory and dyadic interactions, develop a new conceptual framework for studying fertility intentions and their relationship to fertility-related behavior, (5) develop a new set of fertility intentions measures intentions measures based on this revised conceptual framework, extant qualitative data analysis, and newly-collected qualitative data, and (6) pilot these measures with a sample of young adult couples in the Philippines. The proposed training and research will be guided by a core group of nationally-recognized research mentors including primary mentor Dr. Anne Pebley, PhD (social demographer), co- mentor Dr. Christine Dunkel- Schetter, PhD (healthy psychologist), and Advisory Committee Members: Dr. Michelle Hindin, PhD (public health/sociology), Dr. Judith Seltzer (family demographer), and Dr. Benjamin Karney (psychologist and relationship science expert). The UCLA California Center for Population Research (CCPR) and the UCLA School of Public Health will provide the infrastructure to support these endeavors. In sum, the structured mentoring program, advanced multi-disciplinary training, and support for original mixed- methods research afforded by this career development award will broaden the understanding of social context and couple dynamics on fertility behavior and facilitate Dr. Gipson's transition to an independent social science and public health investigator.

描述（由申请人提供）：社会背景和生育：调查发展的混合方法生育偏好测量对于评估个人和人口的生殖健康需求至关重要，也是评估国家计划生育项目有效性、人口目标实现程度以及个人或夫妇生育意愿实现程度的一种手段。尽管对生育和生育意向的研究历史悠久，但生育意向的测量和预测有效性仍然很差，而且关于不断变化的社会环境对生育的影响的知识还很初级。拟议的K01职业发展奖支持杰西卡·吉普森博士发展成为一名独立的社会科学和公共卫生研究人员，并整合了两个领域进行进一步的培训和调查：(a)社会背景域的独立和潜在协同效应，以及(b)夫妻关系和夫妻互动对生育偏好和行为的作用，以扩大生育偏好的概念化和改进对生育偏好的测量。这项研究与联合国人口与发展中心的使命有关，并表明了对有关了解影响人口的复杂社会、经济和文化因素的研究的兴趣。该基金的目标是：(1)扩展吉普森博士在生育意愿和行为方面的公共卫生和人口统计学培训和知识，将社会心理学理论和夫妻动态、互动、决策以及它们如何影响生育意愿和行为的研究的最新进展纳入其中；(2)对先进的统计方法进行教学指导；(3)利用独特的代际纵向数据集对生育和生育意向进行新的研究；(4)从心理学理论和二元互动的研究成果和培训中，开发一个新的概念框架来研究生育意向及其与生育相关行为的关系。(5)基于修订后的概念框架、现有定性数据分析和新收集的定性数据，开发一套新的生育意向测量方法，(6)在菲律宾的年轻成年夫妇样本中试点这些措施。拟议的培训和研究将由国家认可的研究导师核心小组指导，包括主要导师Anne Pebley博士（社会人口学家），共同导师Christine Dunkel- Schetter博士（健康心理学家）和咨询委员会成员Michelle Hindin博士（公共卫生/社会学），Judith Seltzer博士（家庭人口学家）和Benjamin Karney博士（心理学家和关系科学专家）。加州大学洛杉矶分校加州人口研究中心（CCPR）和加州大学洛杉矶分校公共卫生学院将为支持这些努力提供基础设施。总而言之，该职业发展奖提供的结构化指导计划、先进的多学科培训和对原始混合方法研究的支持将拓宽对生育行为的社会背景和夫妻动态的理解，并促进吉普森博士向独立的社会科学和公共卫生研究者的过渡。
