The research project will advance understanding of the consequences for Americans of participating in surveys that re-interview them on many occasions across their entire lives, especially surveys that ask questions about health, health behaviors, and health care. Evidence suggests that participating in surveys can impact an individual's health, either by communicating new health information or by causing health-related changes in behaviors. Prior research, however, has not examined the relationship between survey participation and respondents' longevity. This project will address that question by conducting an experimental study using data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. Public policy makers and researchers rely heavily on data in which the same people are repeatedly interviewed over time. The results of this project will help policy makers and researchers understand and improve the accuracy of their data. A graduate student will be involved throughout the project. Results will be disseminated to the research community and the broader public. This project will examine experimentally the effects of panel conditioning on adult mortality. The project will evaluate the extent to which repeatedly answering survey questions (including questions about health behaviors/outcomes and/or aspects of people's lives that are known to correlate strongly with health) influences the timing of respondents' death. The project also will determine whether mortality effects from panel conditioning are distributed evenly across the population or whether they vary systematically depending on respondents' background characteristics (e.g., gender, family socioeconomic background, educational performance). In 1957, the state of Wisconsin administered surveys to all 33,596 graduating high school seniors. One third of them were selected strictly at random for follow-up and have become the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study cohort. The project will achieve its research objectives by comparing the mortality outcomes of people in the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study panel (who have completed multiple, lengthy surveys about health) to those who have never been re-interviewed since 1957.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研究项目将进一步理解对美国人参加调查的后果，这些调查会在他们一生中的许多情况下重新审视他们，尤其是询问有关健康，健康行为和医疗保健问题的调查。有证据表明，参加调查会通过传达新的健康信息或引起与健康相关的行为变化来影响个人的健康。但是，先前的研究尚未检查调查参与与受访者的寿命之间的关系。该项目将通过使用威斯康星州纵向研究的数据进行实验研究来解决这个问题。公共政策制定者和研究人员在很大程度上依赖于随着时间的推移反复采访相同人物的数据。该项目的结果将帮助决策者和研究人员了解和提高数据的准确性。研究生将参与整个项目。结果将被传播给研究界和更广泛的公众。该项目将通过实验检查面板条件对成人死亡率的影响。该项目将评估反复回答调查问题的程度（包括有关健康行为/结果和/或人们生活中与健康密切相关的问题的问题）会影响受访者死亡的时机。该项目还将确定面板条件的死亡率是否在整个人群中均匀分布，或者根据受访者的背景特征（例如性别，家庭社会经济背景，教育绩效）的系统变化。 1957年，威斯康星州对所有33,596名毕业的高中生进行了调查。其中有三分之一被严格地随机选择以进行随访，并已成为威斯康星州的纵向研究队列。该项目将通过比较威斯康星州纵向研究小组中的人们的死亡率结果（他们已经完成了多次，冗长的健康调查）与那些从未在1957年以来从未重新进行过浏览的人来实现其研究目标。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，反映了通过使用基金会的智力效果和广泛的评估来评估NSF的法定任务。
