Dynamics of Family Well-Being in a Low Income Setting

描述（由申请人提供）：使用来自发达国家的纵向数据的研究已经证明了小组调查对于理解与儿童和年轻人有关的一系列基本问题的价值。然而，来自发展中国家的长期运行的太阳能电池板却少之又少。印度尼西亚家庭生活调查（IFLS）就是这样一项调查，对于有兴趣研究低收入环境下儿童和年轻人的研究人员来说，它是宝贵的资源。到目前为止，我们已经在1993年、1997年和2000年收集了三轮完整的数据。所有这些都在公共领域，并且在加强我们对重要的经济、人口和健康行为和结果的理解方面非常有用。我们建议在2006年进行第四轮综合教学计划。这个名为“低收入环境下家庭福祉的动态”的项目将向公众提供关于印度尼西亚儿童和年轻人的第四波数据，这些数据涵盖了自1993年以来的13年期间，以及更长的回顾性信息。这将是发展中国家运行时间最长的关于儿童和青年的社会经济小组数据集之一。有了更长的小组，研究人员将能够更好地探索许多主题，例如检查从童年到青春期，从青春期到青年期的转变。相关数据将包括通常不会出现在长期社会科学小组中的那种纵向健康信息。这将使研究人员能够检查儿童早期的健康结果，例如，如何与青春期的健康和非健康结果相关。IFLS4建立在一套非常完善的调查问卷和过去IFLS调查的现场协议的基础上。我们将在过去一波浪潮中收集的一套已经创新的身体健康措施和生物标志物基础上增加新的措施，我们将为社区设施调查开发模块，以便评估最近社会服务的重大下放如何影响保健和学校服务的质量、价格和可得性。最后，我们将继续在前几次浪潮中实施的一些与实地相关的方法创新，这些创新大大提高了调查的质量。其中最根本的是跟踪家庭的方法，以确保高随访率（IFLS2和3的随访率分别为94%和95%）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research using longitudinal data from the developed world has demonstrated the value of panel surveys for understanding an array of fundamental questions pertaining to children and young adults. Long running panels from developing countries, however, are few and far between. The Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) is one such survey, and it has been valuable resource for researchers interested in studying children and young adults in low income settings. To date we have collected three full rounds of data, in 1993, 1997, and 2000. All are in the public domain, and in combination have proved highly useful with regard to enhancing our understanding of important economic, demographic, and health behaviors and outcomes. We propose to conduct a fourth full round of IFLS in 2006. This project, "Dynamics of Family Well- Being in a Low-Income Setting", will put into the public domain a fourth wave of data on children and young adults in Indonesia covering a 13 year period since 1993, and longer with retrospective information. This will represent one of the longest running socio-economic panel data sets on children and young adults in a developing country. With the longer panel, researchers will be able to better explore many topics, such as examining the transitions from childhood to adolescence, and from adolescence to young adulthood. The relevant data will include longitudinal health information of the sort that is not usually present in long social science panels. This will enable researchers to examine how health outcomes in early childhood, for example, are related to health and to non-health outcomes in adolescence. IFLS4 builds on a very well-developed set of questionnaires and field protocols from past IFLS surveys. We will add new measures to the already innovative set of physical health measures and biomarkers collected in past waves, and we will develop modules for the community-facility surveys that allow assessment of how a recent and major decentralization of social services has affected the quality, price, and availability of health and schooling services. Finally, we will continue a number of field-related methodological innovations implemented in previous waves that dramatically raised the quality of the surveys. Fundamental to these are methods of tracking households to ensure high follow-up rates (they were 94 percent and 95 percent, respectively in IFLS2 and 3).
