 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Several population studies within the network of Health and Retirement studies have collected retrospective life histories to address multidisciplinary needs for information about partners, fertility, finances, employment, health, and residential location over the entire life course. These data about events and contexts in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and early midlife provide new insights into societal, historical, subgroup, and idiosyncratic factors that contribute to late-life outcomes. The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and Survey of Health and Ageing in Europe (SHARE) fielded harmonized 50-minute computer-assisted in-person event history interviews from 2007 to 2009. Because of the length, cost, and the constraints of its biennial protocol, this life histoy interview module has not yet been included in the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS). We adopt a four-step approach to begin to address the need for such data in HRS. First, we will undertake an in-depth review of the current status of HRS life history data and determine the extent that these data could be harmonized with the ELSA and SHARE life histories. Much information about employment, marital/partnership, fertility, and health histories and lifetime traumas has already been collected in HRS biennial interviews. These data, however, were collected in different waves and are difficult for users to aggregate and reconcile. We anticipate that our in-depth review process will identify gaps in existing HRS records of work, residential, education, and health histories and inconsistencies in questions and codes compared to the ELSA and SHARE data. Second, following this review and in consultation with sister studies, we will design and test a self-administered paper Life History Mail Survey (LHMS) to fill the gaps and supplement HRS life histories. Third, we plan to field the LHMS in HRS in 2017. HRS is currently funded to collect two mail surveys in 2017: 40% of the panel will be assigned to the Consumption and Activities Mail Survey (CAMS) and the remaining 60% will receive a mail survey on a different topic. We seek funds to collect and process an additional mail survey (the LHMS) from 40% of the HRS panel (i.e., the CAMS subsample). HRS will collect and process the LHMS from the remaining 60% of the panel. Finally, we will consolidate and disseminate several user-friendly HRS life history public and restricted data products. We will also produce technical reports, documentation, and user guides to disseminate on the HRS website. One public file will consolidate aggregated information from various biennial waves: A second will release the 2017 LHMS data. The potential benefit to HRS-users of this initial enriched stock of information about the lives of HRS participants between childhood and age 50 will be major. The availability of these resources will expand the scope of harmonized data across HRS, ELSA, SHARE, and related studies and foster multidisciplinary cross- national comparisons of life course factors associated with health and well-being in later life. Our work will serve as the foundation for future linkages of HRS life histories with administrative data.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：健康和退休研究网络中的几项人口研究已收集回顾性生活史，以满足有关伴侣，生育，财务，就业，健康和居民在整个生活课程中的信息的多学科需求。这些有关童年，青少年，成年和早年生活中事件和环境的数据为社会，历史，亚组和特质因素提供了新的见解，这些因素会导致后期的结果。英国对衰老的纵向研究（ELSA）和对欧洲的健康与衰老调查（共享）列出了2007年至2009年的50分钟计算机辅助事件访谈。由于其生命的历史访谈尚未包含在美国健康和退休研究中的长度，成本和限制，因此尚未将这种生活历史访谈纳入美国。我们采用四步方法开始满足人力资源中此类数据的需求。首先，我们将对人力资源生命历史数据的当前状态进行深入审查，并确定这些数据可以与ELSA协调并共享生活历史的程度。有关就业，婚姻/伙伴关系，生育能力以及健康历史和终生创伤的大量信息已经在HRS双年期访谈中收集。但是，这些数据预计，与ELSA和共享数据相比，我们的深入审查过程将确定现有的HRS工作，居民，教育和健康历史记录以及问题和代码的不一致的差距。其次，经过这次审查并与姐妹研究协商，我们将设计和测试自我管理的纸质生活历史记录邮件调查（LHMS），以填补空白并补充HRS HRS生活史。第三，我们计划在2017年在HRS中进行LHMS。目前为2017年收集两项邮件调查资金：该小组的40％将分配给消费和活动邮件调查（CAM），其余60％​​将在另一个主题上收到邮件调查。我们寻求资金收集和处理来自HRS 40％（即CAMS子样本）的额外邮件调查（LHM）。 HRS将收集并处理其余60％​​的面板的LHM。最后，我们将巩固并传播几个用户友好的人力资源生活历史记录和受限制的数据产品。我们还将制作技术报告，文档和用户指南，以在HRS网站上传播。一个公共文件将巩固来自各种两年期浪潮的汇总信息：第二个将发布2017 LHMS数据。这项最初丰富的有关HRS参与者生活的信息的潜在利益将是主要的。这些资源的可用性将扩大人力资源，ELSA，共享和相关研究的统一数据的范围，并促进与以后生活中与健康和福祉相关的生活课程因素的多学科跨国比较。我们的工作将作为 人力资源生活历史与行政数据的未来联系的基础。
