The Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study - a birth cohort study of unwed parents and their children - will provide previously unavailable information on: (l) the economic and social conditions of unwed fathers and mothers, (2) relationships in fragile families, including extended kin, (3) child and parental wellbeing, and (4) the role of labor markets, and government policies in promoting father involvement, good parenting, and healthy child development. The study addresses three NICHD priority areas - nonmarital childbearing, fathering, and welfare reform - and brings these three areas together in a unique fashion. The study will follow a cohort of new parents in sixteen U.S. cities, stratified by different labor market conditions and different welfare and child support policy regimes. The sample will be representative of the racial and ethnic composition of each city and will also be nationally representative of all nonmarital births to parents residing in cities with populations over 100,000. A comparison group of married parents will also be followed. In-hospital interviews will be conducted with both mothers and fathers at the time of birth, and follow-up interviews will be conducted when the child is 9, 18, 30, and 42 months old. Data on child wellbeing will be collected each year from the mother, and in-home assessments of child wellbeing will be carried out at the 30-month interview. Data on up to two siblings (and half siblings) will also be collected. The study will provide a rich set of data that will be useful to a broad range of researchers. It will also provide policy-makers with important information on the implementation of welfare and child support reforms and how they play out in different labor market environments.

脆弱的家庭和儿童健康研究 - 对未婚父母及其子女的出生队列研究 - 将提供以前无法获得的信息：（l）未婚父亲和母亲的经济和社会状况，（2）在脆弱的家庭中的关系，包括长期的亲属，（3）儿童和父母健康和父母健康，以及（4）劳动养育和养育妇女的父亲和良好的父亲的角色，以及健康的父亲，以及健康的父亲，以及健康的父亲，以及健康的父亲，以及健康的父亲，及其健康的父亲，以及善于促进善良的父亲。该研究涉及三个NICHD优先领域 - 非婚姻，父亲和福利改革 - 并以独特的方式将这三个领域融合在一起。这项研究将跟随16个美国城市的新父母队列，并由不同的劳动力市场条件以及不同的福利和儿童抚养政策制度分层。该样本将代表每个城市的种族和族裔组成，还将在全国范围内代表所有非婚姻出生的父母，这些父母居住在人口超过100,000的城市中。 还将遵循一个已婚父母的比较组。出生时，将对母亲和父亲进行院内访谈，并在孩子9、18、30和42个月大时进行后续访谈。每年的母亲将收集有关儿童健康的数据，并将在30个月的访谈中对儿童健康评估进行。还将收集最多两个兄弟姐妹（和半兄弟姐妹）的数据。该研究将提供一系列可对广泛研究人员有用的数据。它还将为决策者提供有关实施福利和儿童抚养改革的重要信息，以及他们如何在不同的劳动力市场环境中发挥作用。
