 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Family members are the most important source of support for Americans in need. Parents, adult children, and siblings often provide time assistance, financial transfers, and in-kind support to each other while coping with life-course challenges such as illness, loss of a spouse, or unemployment. One of the most significant facilitators of providing or receiving such support is an individual's spatial proximity to his or er extended family. At the same time, the need to be located near extended family members can impose significant restrictions on that individuals' residential mobility, which in turn may lead t more limited employment opportunities, choices of schools for children, and development of social networks. Despite the potential influence of spatial proximity to family members on health, caregiving, and socioeconomic status, few empirical reports exist regarding the dynamics of family spatial proximity over the life-course. This project will use the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a nationally representative, longitudinal survey containing prospective reports by individuals and their extended family members - e.g., parents, children, siblings, grandparents - for more than 45 years (1968 through 2015). For members of the same extended family, the PSID contains extensive information on numerous socioeconomic factors that influence mobility including health status, employment, income, wealth, and household composition, as well as very specific information on residential location down to the exact census block. Capitalizing on these unique features of the PSID, the proposed project will: a) construct and release a national dataset of family spatial proximity; b) for the first time thoroughly describe dynamic patterns of Americans' spatial proximity to parents, children, and siblings over the life-course; c) identify factors influencing spatial proximity; and d) assess individuals' longitudinal outcomes of health and health care utilization related to spatial proximity to family. The proposed empirical research will contribute profoundly to social science and public health research and public policy for improving individuals' health and socioeconomic status.

 描述（由申请人提供）：家庭成员是有需要的美国人最重要的支持来源。父母、成年子女和兄弟姐妹经常互相提供时间援助、经济转移和实物支持，同时应对疾病、失去配偶或失业等人生挑战。提供或接受此类支持的最重要的促进因素之一是个人与其大家庭的空间接近程度。与此同时，居住在大家庭成员附近的需要可能会严重限制个人的居住流动性，进而可能导致就业机会、儿童学校选择和社交网络发展更加有限。尽管家庭成员的空间邻近度对健康、护理和社会经济地位具有潜在影响，但关于家庭空间邻近度在生命历程中的动态变化的实证报告却很少。 该项目将使用收入动态小组研究，这是一项具有全国代表性的纵向调查，包含个人及其大家庭成员（例如父母、子女、兄弟姐妹、祖父母）超过 45 年（1968 年至 2015 年）的前瞻性报告。对于同一大家庭的成员，PSID 包含影响流动性的众多社会经济因素的广泛信息，包括健康状况、就业、收入、财富和家庭构成，以及有关居住位置的非常具体的信息，直至精确的人口普查区块。利用 PSID 的这些独特特征，拟议项目将： a) 构建并发布家庭空间邻近度的国家数据集； b) 首次全面描述了美国人在一生中与父母、孩子和兄弟姐妹的空间接近度的动态模式； c) 确定影响空间邻近性的因素； d) 评估与家庭空间接近度相关的个人健康和医疗保健利用的纵向结果。拟议的实证研究 将为社会科学和公共卫生研究以及改善个人健康和社会经济地位的公共政策做出深远贡献。
