Life Course Wealth, Health, and Mortality in the PSID

描述（由申请人提供）：始于1968年，收入动态小组研究（PSID）是对美国个人及其居住家庭的代表性样本进行的纵向研究。它强调经济和人口行为的动态方面，但其内容是广泛的，包括社会学，心理和身体健康措施。PSID是运行时间最长的关于家庭和个人动态的全国性小组，它一直保持着前所未有的96% -98%的复复率。由于该研究最初的研究规划者的创新设计选择，PSID继续跟踪和采访样本家庭的成年子女，当他们离开家时。通过不断增加这些年轻家庭，该研究保持了美国人口的代表性样本，提供了整个生命过程中社会和健康状况的衡量标准，并促进了财富、社会经济地位和经济行为的代际联系的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Begun in 1968, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is a longitudinal study of a representative sample of U.S. individuals and their families in which they reside. It emphasizes the dynamic aspects of economic and demographic behavior, but its content is broad, including sociological, psychological, and physical health measures. The PSID is the longest running national panel on family and individual dynamics, and it has consistently achieved unprecedented re-interview response rates of 96-98%. Due to an innovative design choice by the study's initial research planners, the PSID continues to follow and interview adult children of sample families when they leave home. By continually adding these young families, the study maintains a representative sample of the U.S. population, provides measures of social and health conditions over the full life course, and facilitates the study of intergenerational connections of wealth, socioeconomic status, and economic behavior. With the enhancements described in this proposal, the PSID is poised to become the only data ever collected on life course and multigenerational health in a long-term panel representative of the full U.S. population. To achieve these objectives, this application proposes to collect, process, and disseminate data for three main survey modules that would be included in the 2003 and 2005 interviews: (1) health and mortality, (2), wealth and active savings, and (3) pensions. These three modules represent both continuations of question sequences already introduced into the PSID and expansions of them.
