The Transition from Childhood into Adulthood among PSID Children, 2013 and 2015

描述(由申请者提供)：该项目将在2013年和2015年进行作为收入动态小组研究(PSID)的一部分的过渡到成人(TA)研究的最后两波。PSID始于1968年，是对具有全国代表性的美国家庭样本的纵向调查，在43年(截至2011年)的37次浪潮中收集了相同家庭及其后代的数据。助教的研究将捕捉从童年、青春期到成年早期的整个发展过程，研究对象为3,653名0至12岁的PSID儿童，他们于1997年参加了PSID儿童发展补助金(CDS)的第一波。2002年收集了这些5至18岁儿童的第二波CDS，2007/08年收集了10至18岁儿童的第三波CDS。PSID在2005年启动了成人过渡(TA)项目，当时年龄最大的CDS参与者高中毕业。设计了一次过渡性访谈，其中的问题将CDS和PSID的内容联系起来。到目前为止，这个队列已经完成了三波TA-2005、2007和2009年-第四波正在进行中，2011年。在这个项目中，我们将在2013年和2015年进行两次TA的最后一波，以捕捉CDS队列中最年轻成员的过渡。具体目标是：第一，在2013年从数据收集时年满18岁的CDS青年那里收集60分钟的信息；第二，在2015年再次从到数据收集时所有人都年满18岁的CDS青年那里收集60分钟的信息；第三，在PSID-CDS网络在线数据中心档案中记录和分发这些数据，并推广使用CDS-TA综合档案。对于已在助教注册的CDS青年，2013和2015年的WAVE将增加关于这一关键发展时期的两轮额外信息。对于2011至2015年间年满18岁的剩余CDS青年，我们将收集一到两波新的数据，具体取决于他们年满18岁的确切时间。这些数据对于我们理解当今美国从青春期到成年期的转变至关重要。通过使用技术援助数据增强CDS中丰富的小组信息，该项目将提供丰富的CDS-TA小组，涵盖从出生到学龄前到小学和中学，再到进入职场或高等教育以及早期家庭形成的儿童。虽然从出生到25岁左右的内容丰富的小组本身就很有价值，但随着这些儿童在PSID的整个生命过程中继续接受治疗，有关他们的信息将得到补充。此外，由于这些孩子是原始PSID家族的直系后裔，人们可以在PSID在线数据中心使用目前的在线工具进行代际和历史分析。 与公共卫生相关：18岁至28岁之间的成人早期是个人不再是青少年，但许多人尚未在生活的所有领域完全承担成人角色的时期。目前，我们对个人和社会特征所知甚少，这些特征有助于或阻碍成功地度过这一时期，进入富有成效的成年期。该项目通过收集2013年和2015年PSID过渡到成年人的研究，继续建设用于研究这些问题的国家数据资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will conduct the two final waves in 2013 and 2015 of the Transition into Adulthood (TA) study that is part of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Begun in 1968, PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally-representative sample of U.S. families and has collected data on the same families and their descendents for 37 waves over 43 years (as of 2011). The TA study will capture the full process of development from childhood, through adolescence, and into early adulthood for a cohort of 3,653 PSID children aged 0 to 12 years who in 1997 were enrolled in the first wave of the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS). A second wave of CDS was collected on these same children in 2002 when they were 5 to 18 years old and a third wave was collected in 2007/08 when the children were 10 to 18 years of age. PSID launched the Transition into Adulthood (TA) project in 2005 as the oldest CDS participants graduated from high school. A transitional interview was designed with questions that bridge the content of the CDS and the PSID. Three waves of TA have been completed on this cohort to date-in 2005, 2007, and 2009-and a fourth wave is underway for 2011. In this project, we will conduct the two final waves of TA in 2013 and 2015, to capture the transition for the youngest members of the CDS cohort. The specific aims are to: First, collect 60 minutes of information in 2013 from CDS youth who have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; second, to collect 60 minutes of information again in 2015 from CDS youth, all of whom will have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; and, third, to document and distribute these data in PSID-CDS web-based Online Data Center archive and promote the use of the combined CDS-TA archive. For CDS youth already enrolled in TA, the 2013 and 2015 waves will add two additional rounds of information on this critical developmental period. For the remaining CDS youth who reach 18 years of age between 2011 and 2015, we will gather one or two new waves of data, depending on exactly when they turn 18 years of age. These data are critical for our understanding of the transition from adolescence into adulthood in the U.S. today. By augmenting the rich panel information in the CDS with the TA data, this project will provide a rich CDS-TA panel of children from birth and preschool through primary and secondary school and then through entry into the world of work or of higher education in conjunction with early family formation. Although a rich panel from birth to the mid-20s is valuable in its own right, the information on these children will be augmented as they continue in the PSID through their full life course. Moreover, because these children are the lineal descendants of the original PSID families, one can use currently on-line tools for intergenerational and historical analysis in the PSID Online Data Center. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The early adult years, between the ages of 18 and 28, is a period when individuals are no longer adolescents but many have not yet completely assumed adult roles in all domains of life. We currently know little about the personal and social characteristics that either facilitate or impede the successful passage through this period into a productive adulthood. This project continues building a national data resource for studying these issues by collecting the PSID Transition into Adulthood study for 2013 and 2015.
