Growing Up in Digital Europe Preparation Phase (GUIDEPREP)

数字欧洲成长准备阶段(GUIDEPREP)项目进一步发展了实施指导出生队列研究所需的研究基础设施(RI)。这项准备工作将在2022年至2025年进行，为国际扶轮在2026年全面试行指南和2027年第一波全面数据收集做好准备。一旦投入使用，GUIDE将收集有关在欧洲成长的儿童个体的数据，直到这些儿童在大约2053年达到24岁。指南将是欧洲第一个对儿童和年轻人健康状况进行比较的出生队列研究。该指南研究的目的是跟踪儿童的个人幸福和发展，并结合欧洲各地儿童家庭、社区和学校的关键指标。指南将是一项加速队列调查，包括婴儿样本和学龄儿童样本。每个成员国和联系国将提供具有全国代表性的样本，以便在整个研究期间保持统计权力。协调的设计将创建第一个具有国际可比性、具有国家代表性的欧洲儿童和年轻人纵向研究。目前，国际扶轮指南正处于准备阶段，这涉及建立必要的操作程序，并进一步明确研究的概念和设计。要在2026年实现该指南的全面试点，并在2027年实现第一波实地考察，需要在行政、技术、资金、科学和法律方面进行发展。这项GUIDEPREP提案为这些发展制定了明确的目标，建立了一个由联盟伙伴共享并由指南领导小组管理的连锁活动系统。

The Growing Up in Digital Europe Preparatory Phase (GUIDEPREP) project further develops the research infrastructure (RI) necessary to implement the GUIDE birth cohort study. This preparatory work will take place across 2022 to 2025 to ready the RI for the full scale piloting of the GUIDE in 2026 and the first full wave of data collection in 2027. Once operational, GUIDE will collect data about individual children growing up in Europe until those children are aged 24-years in approximately 2053. GUIDE will be Europe’s first comparative birth cohort study of children’s and young people’s wellbeing. The aim of the GUIDE study is to track children’s personal wellbeing and development, in combination with key indicators of children’s homes, neighbourhoods, and schools, across Europe. GUIDE will be an accelerated cohort survey including a sample of infants as well as a sample of school age children. Each Member State and Associated Country will provide nationally representative samples that are designed to retain statistical power throughout the lifetime of the study. The harmonized design will create the first internationally comparable, nationally representative, longitudinal study of children and young people in Europe. Currently the GUIDE RI is in its preparatory phase, which involves the establishment of necessary operational procedures and further crystallisation of the study concept and design. To realise the GUIDE full-scale pilot in 2026 and first wave of fieldwork in 2027, the RI needs to develop administratively, technologically, financially, scientifically, and legally. This GUIDEPREP proposal lays out clear aims for these developments in an interlocking system of activities that are shared across consortium partners and managed by the GUIDE leadership team.
