Health Wealth and Pensions Over the Life Course in a Long Panel

描述（由申请人提供）：收入动态小组研究（PSID）是世界上运行时间最长的国家代表性小组调查。PSID拥有近40年来关于同一家庭及其后代的数据，可以被认为是基于社会科学研究的数据基础设施的基石。长面板，家谱血统，和广泛的数据内容代表了一个独特的和强大的机会，研究进化和变化在同一个家庭在相当长的时间跨度。PSID现在包含了近40年的家庭未来生活史，受访者已经成为父母，祖父母，现在是曾祖父母，以及自调查开始以来死亡的4,000多名受访者。这些数据被用来支持个人在整个生命周期中日益复杂的结果模型，对于给定家庭的同一代亲属（例如，兄弟姐妹模型），以及对于跨越同一家族的多代的个体（例如，父母-成人儿童模型）。这些模式将有助于采用创新的研究战略，对促进个人健康和福祉的方法有更好的科学认识。随着PSID在线数据中心的不断改进，它允许用户创建定制的数据集和码本，我们预计PSID的数据档案将继续成为最广泛使用的数据集之一。该应用程序的具体目标是收集，处理和传播PSID中的三波健康，财富和养老金数据：2007，2009和2011。这些数据的持续收集将促进早期和中期生活环境对健康，经济福祉和晚年死亡率影响的科学进步。这些数据将支持对许多出生队列的退休前时期，退休过渡以及退休后健康和经济动态的研究。该申请还建议对在PSID中收集生物标志物的价值和可行性进行全面评估。通过显著增加国家在健康和老龄化领域的科学知识基础，这些具体目标与NIH的使命非常吻合，即支持对人类生长和发育过程的研究，延长健康寿命，减少疾病和残疾的负担。随着这些数据的持续收集，PSID将成为唯一一个代表美国全体人口的长期小组中关于生命历程和多代健康和财富的调查。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world's longest running nationally representative panel survey. With nearly 40 years of data on the same families and their descendents, the PSID can justly be considered a cornerstone of the data infrastructure for empirically-based social science research. The long panel, genealogical blood-line, and broad content of the data represent a unique and powerful opportunity to study evolution and change within the same families over a considerable time span. The PSID now contains nearly 40 years of prospective life histories of families with respondents who have become parents, grandparents, and now great-grandparents, as well as over 4,000 respondents who have died since the survey began. These data are being used to support increasingly complex models of outcomes for individuals over the life cycle, for relatives within the same generation of a given family (e.g., sibling models), and for individuals across multiple generations of the same family (e.g., parent-adult child models). These models will facilitate the use of innovative research strategies to yield a greater scientific understanding of ways to promote individual health and well-being. With continued enhancements to the PSID Online Data Center, which allows users to create customized data sets and codebooks, we anticipate that the PSID's data archive will continue to be one of the most widely used data sets. The specific aims of the application are to collect, process, and disseminate data on health, wealth, and pensions in the PSID for three waves: 2007, 2009, and 2011. The continued collection of these data will promote scientific advances in the effects of early and mid-life circumstances on health, economic well-being, and mortality in later life. These data will support research on the pre-retirement period, the retirement transition, and post-retirement health and economic dynamics for numerous birth cohorts. The application also proposes a thorough assessment of the value and feasibility of collecting biomarkers in the PSID. By adding significantly to the nation's scientific knowledge base in the area of health and aging, these specific aims strongly match NIH's mission to support research on the process of human growth and development, extend healthy life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. With continued collection of these data, the PSID will be the only survey on life course and multigenerational health and wealth in a long-term panel representative of the full U.S. population.
