Longitudinal Extension of SHARE-Israel Baseline Data

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是将SHARE-Israel第一波的基线数据转化为纵向调查。SHARE（欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查）是一个受HRS启发的企业，采用国际和跨学科的方法来比较50岁及以上的人的健康、社会生活和经济状况。以色列在2005- 2006年加入了共享框架。当前应用程序的目标是：1)通过2008-2009年（n=2250）和2010-2011年（n=2000）两波额外的数据收集，对基线以色列样本进行纵向随访；2)在第二波中招募一个补充样本（n=350），在第三波中招募自第一波以来新50岁的样本（n=600），以保证样本的代表性和足够的样本量进行群体比较。3)实现的行动之前,每一轮的数据收集为了最大化反应率,提高调查质量,包括小组护理,适应和翻译技术的改变和下降问卷调查、培训领域机构员工的新措施的实施监督机制的引入和测试流程和质量的数据,4)实现任务使数据可用和可访问的纵向分析,包括数据修复、处理和归因、数据的文档和组织、归档和制作干净和可访问的公共使用数据文件，以及与其他数据集可比性的研究措施的协调。5)通过与NACDA合作，使国际研究界可以访问SHARE-Israel的其他数据，包括地理编码数据；6)收集关于受访者在第二次黎巴嫩战争期间暴露于危险的新数据。在以色列收集的小组数据将丰富研究人员的研究能力，他们研究终身创伤、移民、种族和养老金改革等领域与晚年健康相关结果之间的关系。在所有这些研究领域中，目前以色列的老年群体呈现出独特的特征和经验，可以促进对情境化和普遍过程的理解。这些前瞻性数据还将丰富对阿拉伯人口老龄化伴随因素的科学探究。最后，SHARE- israel项目的纵向数据将使政策分析人员能够检查以色列数据与其他面板数据集（特别是HRS、ELSA和其他SHARE国家的数据）的关系所产生的趋势。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this project is to turn baseline data from the first wave of SHARE-Israel into a longitudinal inquiry. SHARE (The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) is an HRS- inspired enterprise that employs an international and interdisciplinary approach to compare the health, social life and economic situations of persons aged 50 and older. Israel joined the SHARE framework in 2005-06. The goals of the current application are: 1) execution of longitudinal follow- up of the baseline Israeli sample by means of two additional waves of data collection in 2008-2009 (n=2250) and 2010-2011 (n=2000), 2) Recruitment of a supplementary sample in Wave 2 (n=350) and a Wave 3 refresher sample of the new 50 year olds since Wave 1 (n=600), in order to guarantee the representativeness of the sample and sufficient sample size for group comparisons, 3) implementation of actions prior to each round of data collection in order to maximize response rate and to improve survey quality, including panel care, adaptation and translation of changes in the CAPI and drop-off questionnaires, training of field agency staff in the implementation of new measures to be introduced and testing of mechanisms for monitoring the flow and the quality of the data, 4) implementation of tasks to make the data usable and accessible for longitudinal analysis, including data repair, treatment and imputations, documentation and organization of the data, archiving and the production of clean and accessible public use data files, and harmonization of study measures for comparability with other data sets, 5) making the data from additional waves of SHARE-Israel accessible to the international research community through collaboration with NACDA, including geo-coded data, and 6) collection of new data on respondents' exposure to danger during the Second Lebanese War. The collection of panel data in Israel will enrich the research capabilities of investigators who study the association between such areas as lifelong trauma, immigration, ethnicity, and pension reform, and health-related outcomes in late life. In all these areas of study, the current aging cohorts in Israel present unique features and experiences that may advance understanding of both contextualized and universal processes. The prospective data will also enrich the scientific inquiry into the concomitants of aging within the Arab population. Finally, longitudinal data from the SHARE-Israel project will allow policy analysts to examine trends that emerge from the Israeli data in relation to other panel data sets, particularly the HRS, ELSA and data from the other SHARE countries. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The collection of panel data in Israel will facilitate more effective analysis of the relationship between such areas as lifelong trauma, immigration, ethnicity, and pension reform, and a wide range of health-related outcomes in late life. The data will also enrich scientific inquiry into the concomitants of aging within the Arab population and will hopefully encourage the adoption of the HRS-inspired SHARE-Israel Arabic questionnaire in neighboring Arab countries. Collection of longitudinal data in the SHARE-Israel framework will also allow policy analysts to examine trends that emerge from the Israeli data with comparative aspects in other panel data sets, particularly the HRS, ELSA and data from the other SHARE countries.
