DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) with a major round of data collection, 45 years after the high school graduation of the original 10,317 participants. We want to exploit the unique scientific value of the WLS to pursue a broad agenda of research on social and economic factors in health and aging. We represent diverse scientific fields - sociology, demography, epidemiology, economics, social and cognitive psychology, industrial engineering, neuroscience, social work, psychiatry, nursing, and medicine. Our plan for data collection - of which these proposed surveys are only the first phase - will span many modes: telephone and mail surveys, brain imaging, personal interview, anthropometric measurement, bio-indicators, content analysis of recorded interviews, and linked administrative records. We intend and expect that these new data, along with the rich data presently available from the WLS, will resolve old questions and open new areas of interdisciplinary inquiry about health, aging, and the life course. All WLS data will be released to the research community as soon as they have been collected, cleaned, and documented. We propose one-hour telephone and 48 page mail surveys in 2002-03 of more than 9600 surviving American men and women who were first interviewed as graduating seniors in high school in 1957 and were followed up in 1964, 1975, and 1992; they will be 63-64 years old when they are surveyed. (b) We propose parallel telephone and mail surveys of 7150 randomly selected siblings of the graduates; they vary widely in age and most were first surveyed in 1994; about 2100 were first interviewed in 1977. (c) We propose shorter (30 minute) telephone interviews with spouses (N = 10,150) and widows of graduates and their siblings (N = 850). The WLS is unique as a large scale longitudinal study of adults and their families that will soon cover almost half a century. It is a valuable public resource for studies of aging and the life course, inter-generational transfers and relationships, family functioning, long-term effects of education and of cognitive ability, occupational careers, physical and mental well-being, and morbidity and mortality. Our goal is to extend and enrich our observations of the WLS cohort since their adolescence in ways that will answer important research questions in aging for decades to come.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续威斯康星州 纵向研究（WLS）与一个主要轮的数据收集，45年后， 高中毕业的原始10,317名参与者。我们想 利用WLS的独特科学价值， 研究健康和老龄化的社会和经济因素。我们代表 不同的科学领域----社会学、人口学、流行病学、经济学， 社会和认知心理学，工业工程，神经科学，社会 工作、精神病学、护理和医学。我们的数据收集计划- 这些拟议的调查只是第一阶段-将跨越许多模式： 电话和邮件调查、大脑成像、个人采访、人体测量 测量、生物指标、访谈记录的内容分析，以及 关联的行政记录。我们希望这些新的数据，沿着 利用WLS目前提供的丰富数据，将解决老问题 并开辟了关于健康、老龄化和人类健康的跨学科研究的新领域。 生命历程所有WLS数据将尽快发布给研究界， 它们已经被收集、清理和记录。我们建议一小时 在二零零二至零三年度，我们透过电话及48页电邮，向超过9600名 这些美国男性和女性在高中毕业时首次接受采访， 在1957年的学校，并在1964年，1975年和1992年随访，他们将63-64 年，当他们被调查。(b)我们建议电话和邮件并行 调查7150随机选择的兄弟姐妹的毕业生;他们差异很大 大多数人在1994年首次接受调查;大约2100人首次接受采访 1977年(c)我们建议与配偶进行较短（30分钟）的电话访谈 （N = 10，150）和毕业生的遗孀及其兄弟姐妹（N = 850）。WLS是 作为一项针对成年人及其家庭的大规模纵向研究， 将很快覆盖近半个世纪。这是一个宝贵的公共资源， 研究老龄化和生命过程，代际转移， 家庭关系、家庭功能、教育的长期影响以及 认知能力、职业生涯、身心健康，以及 发病率和死亡率。我们的目标是扩展和丰富我们的观察， 从青少年时期开始，WLS队列的方式将回答重要的 研究老龄化的问题。
