Second and Third Waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey

描述（由申请人提供）：MxFLS-1是2002年对个人、家庭和社区进行的一项广泛、多主题、具有全国代表性的调查。该调查覆盖了整个墨西哥150个社区的8400多户家庭。这个项目的主要目标是将墨西哥家庭生活调查的两波后续工作纳入公共领域。这些数据与第一波调查相结合，将产生一个独特而丰富的纵向数据库，以便更好地了解21世纪第一个十年期间墨西哥发生的社会、经济、人口和卫生变化。将社区一级的变化与家庭一级的信息结合起来，就有可能监测社会和经济变化的影响，并衡量社会方案对人口福祉的影响。MxFLS-2和-3将遵循MxFLS-1的实质性内容，但也将包括新的创新模块，以便为生命过程中行为变化动态的科学研究提供最高质量的多用途调查。新的模块将引出关于偏好和期望的信息，关于非共同居住的家庭成员，关于认知成就，并将包括新的生物标志物。该项目的第二个目标是提供科学可靠的证据，说明移民到美国对移民者和留在墨西哥的人的影响。具体来说，我们将跟踪从墨西哥搬到美国的受访者，并在美国采访他们。公共使用文件将在现场工作完成后12个月内置于公共领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MxFLS-1 is a broad-purpose, multi-topic, nationally representative survey of individuals, households and communities collected in 2002. The survey covers over 8,400 households in 150 communities across the whole of Mexico. The principle goal of this project is to field and place in the public domain two follow-up waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey. These data, in combination with the first wave of the survey, will yield a uniquely rich longitudinal database for better understanding the social, economic, demographic and health changes occurring in Mexico during the first decade of the 21st century. Integrating changes at the community level with household-level information, it will be possible to monitor the impact of social and economic changes as well as measure the effect of social programs on the well-being of the population. MxFLS-2 and -3 will follow the substantive content of MxFLS-1, but will also include new, innovative modules in order to provide the highest quality multi-purpose survey for scientific research on the dynamics of behavioral change over the life course. New modules will elicit information about preferences and expectations, about non co-resident family members, and about cognitive achievement and will include new biomarkers. A second aim of this project is to provide scientifically sound evidence regarding the effects of migration to the United States on those who move and on those who stay in Mexico. Specifically, we will follow the respondents from the baseline who have moved from Mexico and interview them in the United States. Public use files will be placed in the public domain within 12 months of completion of fieldwork.
