Second and Third Waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey

描述(申请人提供)：MxFLS-1是一项广泛目的、多主题、具有全国代表性的个人、家庭和社区调查，收集于2002年。这项调查覆盖了全墨西哥150个社区的8400多户家庭。该项目的主要目标是将墨西哥家庭生活调查的两次后续活动公之于众。这些数据与第一波调查相结合，将产生一个独特的丰富的纵向数据库，以便更好地了解墨西哥在21世纪头十年发生的社会、经济、人口和健康变化。将社区一级的变化与家庭一级的信息结合起来，将有可能监测社会和经济变化的影响，并衡量社会方案对人民福祉的影响。MxFLS-2和MxFLS-3将遵循MxFLS-1的实质内容，但也将包括新的、创新的模块，以便为关于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。新的模块将获得有关偏好和期望、非同居家庭成员和认知成就的信息，并将包括新的生物标记物。该项目的第二个目标是就移民到美国对移居者和留在墨西哥的人的影响提供科学可靠的证据。具体地说，我们将从基线开始跟踪来自墨西哥的受访者，并在美国对他们进行采访。公共使用档案将在实地工作完成后12个月内放入公共领域。

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.
