EDUCATION IN CAREERS, HEALTH, AND RETIREMENT

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一份关于人体健康影响的研究报告。 根据威斯康星州纵向研究(WLS)的数据，在健康、职业和退休方面的教育程度和学术表现。来自新的世界最低限度调查的数据将得到行政记录数据的补充(本提案的补充数据收集和管理)。WLS跟踪了一万多名年轻人--以及他们的5000多名兄弟姐妹--从高中毕业到死亡或60岁出头。因此，它提供了独特的机会来研究教育、职业及其对健康、退休和死亡率的影响：对青少年认知功能、教育表现、学校资源和项目以及抱负的基线测量；详细的教育、家庭生活和职业历史；随机选择的威斯康星州毕业生兄弟姐妹的类似数据。可以追踪职业线上相似或不同的家族模式及其后果，关键变量的自我报告通过兄弟姐妹间的报告进行验证。从国家死亡指数中获得了毕业生、兄弟姐妹和他们的父母到1998年按死因死亡的数据。其他新数据将通过对毕业生、兄弟姐妹、配偶和寡妇的电话和邮件调查获得(建议在补充R01中)。在其他目标中，我们将扩展一个从青年到成熟的社会-心理社会经济成就模型，对其进行修改，以增加新的解释变量和更丰富的健康和残疾结果集。我们将评估学校教育--包括小学和中学教育资源--以及认知能力对收入和其他职业发展的影响。我们还将使用新的分析方法来研究重大偶发事件对经济、心理和健康结果的影响，如服兵役和所上大学的类型。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for research on the life-long effects of educational attainment and academic performance on health, careers, and retirement, based on data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS). Data from new WLS surveys will be complemented by administrative record data (Complementary Data Collection and Management of this proposal). The WLS has followed a cohort of more than 10,000 youth - and more than 5000 of their sisters or brothers - from high school graduation to their deaths or to their early 60s. Thus, it provides unique opportunities to study education, careers, and their consequences for health, retirement, and mortality: baseline measurements of adolescent cognitive functioning, educational performance, school resources and programs, and ambition; detailed histories of education, family life, and careers; similar data for randomly selected brothers or sisters of the Wisconsin graduates. Familial patterns of resemblance or divergence in career lines and their consequences may be traced, and self-reports of key variables are validated with cross-sibling reports. Data have been obtained from the National Death Index on mortality by cause through 1998 for graduates, siblings, and their parents. Other new data will be obtained through telephone and mail surveys of graduates, siblings, spouses, and widows (proposed in a complementary R01). Among other aims, we will extend a social-psychological model socioeconomic achievement from youth through maturity, modifying it to add new explanatory variables and a richer set of health and disability outcomes. We will assess the changing impacts of schooling - including primary and secondary school resources - and of cognitive ability on earnings and other career outcomes. We will also use new analytic methods to look at effects of major contingent events, such as military service and type of college attended, on economic, psychological, and health outcomes.
