DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall aim of the proposed research is to examine possible etiologic pathways explaining the associations between education and health among an African American population. The population consists of a total cohort (N=1242) of African American adults first studied in 1966 when they were in first grade in Woodlawn, an inner city neighborhood of Chicago. They were assessed in first grade (1966), in third grade (1968), during adolescence (1976), in 1993-94 when they were young adults; they are currently being interviewed again at age 42. In particular, this study will investigate how educational performance and achievement relate to health risk behaviors and physical and psychological health outcomes. The Woodlawn data includes information about educational performance and achievement throughout the life course as well as information about health risk behaviors, such as cigarette, alcohol and drug use, and physical and mental health conditions of the cohort over the life course. Mortality data also have been collected. We focus on a life course developmental framework for understanding how family background of education, one's own educational performance, and school engagement may enhance one's physical and mental health within an African American population. We consider several possible etiologic pathways that might explain the association between education and health. The first specific aim focuses on the relationship between educational achievement and adult health problems, taking into account socioeconomic resources during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The second aim examines the dynamic relationship across development between school performance and psychological well-being. The third aim examines the relationship between childhood school performance and attachment and later social integration and health. Finally, the fourth aim examines the bi-directionality of the relationship between education and health across generations and throughout the life course. We will employ multiple regression, survival analyses, and structural equation modeling for the analyses of these research questions.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的总体目标是检查可能的病因学途径，解释非裔美国人群体中教育与健康之间的关联。该人群由 1966 年首次研究的非洲裔美国成年人总队列（N = 1242）组成，当时他们在芝加哥内城区伍德劳恩上一年级。他们在一年级（1966年）、三年级（1968年）、青春期（1976年）以及1993-94年青壮年期间接受了评估；他们目前在 42 岁时再次接受采访。特别是，这项研究将调查教育表现和成就如何与健康风险行为以及身心健康结果相关。 Woodlawn 数据包括有关整个生命过程中的教育表现和成就的信息，以及有关健康风险行为的信息，例如吸烟、酗酒和吸毒，以及该群体在整个生命过程中的身心健康状况。还收集了死亡率数据。我们专注于生命历程发展框架，以了解家庭教育背景、个人的教育表现和学校参与如何增强非裔美国人的身心健康。我们考虑了几种可能的病因途径来解释教育与健康之间的关联。第一个具体目标侧重于教育成就与成人健康问题之间的关系，同时考虑到儿童期、青春期和成年期的社会经济资源。第二个目标探讨学校表现与心理健康之间发展的动态关系。第三个目标研究儿童学校表现和依恋与后来的社会融合和健康之间的关系。最后，第四个目标探讨了教育与健康之间跨代和整个生命历程的双向关系。我们将采用多元回归、生存分析和结构方程模型来分析这些研究问题。
