Integrated International Microdata for Population Dynamics and Health Research

项目摘要/摘要 综合保健管理系统是世界人口健康数据基础设施的关键组成部分，迫切需要它。这个 人口的超常增长和重新分布正在以深远的方式重塑地球 对人群健康和健康行为的影响。除非我们了解变化的过程，否则我们 不能指望做充分的计划。应对快速的人口、经济和社会发展带来的挑战 为了应对环境变化，研究人员必须开放获取尽可能好的信息。在过去两年中 几十年来，IPUMS创建了覆盖100个国家和地区的庞大的人口普查和调查微观数据档案 几十年。使用数据库的研究人员数量、数据量都出现了爆炸性增长 他们提出的要求，以及他们制作的高影响力出版物的数量。数据库的巨大增长 然而，这给数据发现、处理和管理带来了新的挑战，这将需要创造性 新的技术解决方案。对进一步扩大、改进和支持数据库的需求也很高。 拟议的续建项目将扩大数据库，增强数据和元数据，改进关键字 基础设施的要素，并支持研究界。目标1和目标2侧重于获取、保存、 以及处理来自亚洲和欧洲的微数据。目标3和目标4将提供基础设施和外联服务， 使所有IPUMS微数据工作受益。目标1：数据采集和长期保存。国际IPUMS协会 小组将获取并保存来自亚洲和欧洲的人口普查和调查微观数据，包括最新的 来自家庭调查的微观数据和面临被破坏风险的旧数据。目标2：数据处理。该项目将 通过增加至少60次人口普查中至少1.2亿人的数据来扩展IPUMS数据库 和调查，重点是来自亚洲和欧洲的最新数据。这将需要数据清理、开发 全面的机器可处理元数据、空间数据获取和协调以及变量 协调一致。目标3：数据、元数据和基础设施改进。该项目包括数十个 改进了IPUMS数据和元数据，同时增加了IPUMS数据处理和 传播系统。目标4：传播和推广。该项目将继续提供用户支持， 培训和外联，并将开发新的在线培训能力以及促进科学发现 通过调查、研讨会和在线互动。最重要的是，IPUMS将与 提供原始数据的国家统计机构。经改进和扩展的IPUMS数据库将 允许调查人员对世界各地几十年来的社会和经济状况进行比较 剧变，为了解正在进行的转型创造了前所未有的力量资源 人口行为与人口健康。

Project Summary/Abstract IPUMS is a key component of the world’s population health data infrastructure, and it is urgently needed. The extraordinary growth and redistribution of the human population is reshaping the planet with profound consequences for population health and health behaviors. Unless we understand the processes of change, we cannot hope to plan adequately. To meet the challenges created by rapid demographic, economic, and environmental change, researchers must have open access to the best possible information. Over the past two decades, IPUMS has created a vast archive of census and survey microdata covering 100 countries over multiple decades. There has been explosive growth in the number of researchers using the database, the amount of data they request, and the number of high-impact publications they produce. The massive growth of the database has created new challenges, however, for data discovery, processing, and management that will require creative new technical solutions. There is also high demand to further expand, improve, and support the database. The proposed continuation project will expand the database, enhance the data and metadata, improve key elements of the infrastructure, and support the research community. Aims 1 and 2 focus on acquiring, preserving, and processing microdata from Asia and Europe. Aims 3 and 4 will provide infrastructure and outreach that will benefit all IPUMS microdata efforts. Aim 1: Data acquisition and long-run preservation. The IPUMS International team will obtain and preserve census and survey microdata from Asia and Europe, including the newest microdata from household surveys and older data at risk of destruction. Aim 2: Data processing. The project will expand the IPUMS database by adding data for at least 120 million individuals included in at least 60 censuses and surveys, focusing on recent data from Asia and Europe. This will require data cleaning, development of comprehensive machine-processable metadata, spatial data ingest and harmonization, and variable harmonization. Aim 3: Data, metadata, and infrastructural improvements. This project includes dozens of improvements to IPUMS data and metadata while adding new capabilities to IPUMS data processing and dissemination systems. Aim 4: Dissemination and outreach. The project will continue to provide user support, training, and outreach and will develop new online training capabilities as well as promoting scientific discovery through surveys, workshops, and online interaction. Most critically, IPUMS will maintain collaborations with the national statistical agencies who provide the source data. The improved and expanded IPUMS database will allow investigators to make comparisons across the world over multiple decades of social and economic upheaval, creating a resource of unprecedented power for understanding ongoing transformations of demographic behavior and population health.
