Time Use Across the Life Course: Family Inequality and Multigenerational Well-Being

项目摘要 这一持续应用程序要求为三个面对面和两个虚拟 关于时间利用、家庭不平等和福祉的会议。该应用程序建立在2018年 和2020/1会议支持的NICHD和十六年的历史，成功的时间 利用由马里兰州人口研究中心主办的会议。提出 会议是推进知识和发展多样化研究的重要场所 在时间利用、家庭不平等和福利方面拥有专业知识的社区， 组促进研究COVID-19如何影响日常行为，互动，以及 是一种迫切的新需求。此外，还迫切需要进一步了解 未充分探讨的主题，包括时间作为种族-民族时间使用差异的途径， 健康和时间使用作为跨生命阶段和背景的健康的社会决定因素。建筑 研究社区和促进创新研究的日常行为（育儿，食物 行为，身体活动，睡眠），社会交往和生活经历（幸福）， 是社会因素和健康之间的关键途径，需要解决持久性和 个人和人口健康差距的出现。该提案的目的是：（1）提供 通过展示示范性研究和跨学科研究和对话的论坛 提供及时参与和发展创新跨学科研究的机会 使用和人口健康差异; 2）确定时间使用中未充分探索和新出现的问题 通过提供一个包容性的环境来揭示和瞄准知识方面的关键差距， 3）促进高影响力的时间使用研究和出版物 通过提供机会形成合作研究项目和促进有效的政策 就如何运用时间利用和健康研究知识进行交流， 公共政策和方案的有效性和范围; 4）扩大和支持研究 通过培养使用时间使用数据的兴趣和专业知识， 不同学者之间关于家庭和儿童的健康和福祉的问题， 加强早期职业学者的实质性和方法学专业知识， 培养下一代的时间利用研究人员。解决 这些目标，拟议的会议将提供一个高姿态的平台，创新的研究 和方法，并促进科学上严谨的、与政策相关的研究， 这些主题跨越生命历程，随着时间的推移，并跨越政策背景。

Project Summary This continuing application requests five years of support for three in-person and two virtual conferences on time use, family inequality, and well-being. The application builds on the 2018 and 2020/1 conferences supported by NICHD and the sixteen-year history of successful time use conferences sponsored by the Maryland Population Research Center. Proposed conferences are critical venues for advancing knowledge and developing a diverse research community who have expertise in time use, family inequality, and well-being over contexts and groups. Facilitating research how COVID-19 has affected daily behaviors, interactions, and well- being is an urgent new need. There are also critical needs to advance knowledge on underexplored topics, including time as a pathway for racial-ethnic differences in time use and health and time use as a social determinant of health across life stages and contexts. Building the research community and facilitating innovative research on daily behaviors (parenting, food behaviors, physical activity, sleep), social interactions, and life experiences (well-being), which are key pathways between social factors and health, is needed to address persistent and emerging individual and population health disparities. The aims of the proposal are to 1) provide a forum for interdisciplinary research and dialogue by showcasing exemplary research and providing opportunities to engage with and develop innovative interdisciplinary research on time use and population health disparities; 2) identify underexplored and emerging issues in time use research by providing an inclusive environment to surface and target critical gaps in knowledge on time use, health, and well-being; 3) facilitate high-impact time use research and publications by providing opportunities to form collaborative research projects and facilitate effective policy communication on ways to apply time use and health research knowledge to improve effectiveness and scope of public policies and programs; 4) expand and support the research community by developing interest and expertise in using time use data to answer crucial questions about the health and well-being of families and children among diverse scholars and enhance substantive and methodological expertise among early career scholars from underrepresented groups to cultivate the next generation of time use researchers. To address these aims, the proposed conferences will provide a high-profile platform for innovative research and methodological approaches and facilitate scientifically rigorous, policy-relevant research on these topics across the life course, over time, and across policy contexts.
