 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) has collected data on the same families and their descendants for 39 waves over 47 years (as of 2015). In the 1990s, PSID began collecting rich and detailed data on children born into these families and, starting in the mid-2000s, has closely followed these children's transition into adulthood. Young adults in PSID families become members of the Core PSID themselves and receive the full interview when they form their own economically-independent households-and are followed by the study for the rest of their lives. This Program Project will draw on, and contribute to, PSID data on the transition into adulthood within its life course and intergenerational family context through three projects and one core. The Program Project has three overarching aims. First, we will collect two waves of the PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS) in 2017 and 2019. We will undertake a major expansion of the TAS study sample and will substantially revise the TAS questionnaire, adding new and revised content on topics such as childhood health, fertility-related behavior and pregnancy intentions, and computer skills. These new data will yield a life course panel of children from birth and preschool through primary and secondary school and then through entry into the world of work or higher education in conjunction with early family formation. The data are vital for our understanding of the contemporary transition from adolescence into adulthood in the U.S. within its inter- generational family context. Second, we will use these data to advance research on two topics of considerable scientific and policy significance: (a) the key factors shaping family formation processes in recent cohorts, and the effects of family background and childhood trajectories on these family formation processes; and (b) how childhood health trajectories, from birth through childhood and adolescence, affect socioeconomic status transitions in early adulthood, including educational attainment, employment, and residential and financial independence from parents. Our research findings will provide valuable new information about how and why lifecourse disparities in demographic, health, and socioeconomic status outcomes emerge during early adult- hood; will reveal how these outcomes are transmitted across generations; and will uncover mechanisms that link family background and childhood lifecourse experiences with young adult outcomes. Third, we will document and distribute the new TAS data through the publicly available and free PSID Online Data Center and promote the use of the TAS data archive.

 收入动态小组研究（PSID）收集了47年来（截至2015年）39波相同家庭及其后代的数据。在1990年代，PSID开始收集关于出生于这些家庭的儿童的丰富和详细的数据，并从2000年代中期开始密切跟踪这些儿童向成年的过渡。PSID家庭中的年轻人自己成为核心PSID的成员，并在他们形成自己的经济独立家庭时接受完整的采访，并在他们的余生中接受研究。该方案项目将通过三个项目和一个核心项目，利用和促进PSID关于在其生命过程和代际家庭背景中向成年过渡的数据。该方案项目有三个总体目标。首先，我们将在2017年和2019年收集两波PSID过渡到成年补充（TAS）。我们将对TAS研究样本进行重大扩展，并将大幅修订TAS问卷，增加有关儿童健康、生育相关行为和怀孕意愿以及计算机技能等主题的新内容和修订内容。这些新的数据将产生一个儿童生命历程小组，从出生和学前到小学和中学，然后进入工作世界或接受高等教育，再加上早期家庭的形成。这些数据对于我们理解当代美国从青春期到成年的过渡至关重要。第二，我们将利用这些数据推进两个具有重大科学和政策意义的主题的研究：（a）影响最近一批人的家庭形成过程的关键因素，以及家庭背景和童年轨迹对这些家庭形成过程的影响;以及（B）从出生到童年和青春期的儿童健康轨迹如何影响成年早期的社会经济地位转变，包括教育程度、就业、居住和经济上独立于父母。我们的研究结果将提供有关人口，健康和社会经济地位结果中的生命历程差异如何以及为什么在成年早期出现的有价值的新信息;将揭示这些结果如何跨代传递;并将揭示将家庭背景和童年生活经历与年轻成年人结果联系起来的机制。第三，我们将通过公共和免费的PSID在线数据中心记录和分发新的TAS数据，并促进TAS数据档案的使用。
