DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for an exploratory/developmental research grant (R21) to create and evaluate new and innovative procedures for collecting data from families and households in one area and linking that information to individuals and families who have migrated from that area to other places around the world. This research is motivated by the many limitations placed on past migration research by the inability of researchers to obtain and link information about migrants and their destination communities with information about their origin communities and those who do not move. The inability to link origin communities, stayers, and migrants is also a threat to the validity of projects that focus on other topics such as family, marriage, fertility, and health. This study will take advantage of important innovations in international communication technology-such as cell phones and the internet--to create new ways to interview migrants at destinations around the world, to follow the migrants over time, and to link them to their origin communities. This study will build upon a long-term project in Nepal that has been collecting information about communities, households, and individuals from 1996 to the present. This parent project in Nepal has a sample of movers and stayers in a representative sample of neighborhoods in Nepal. The parent project interviewed people living in these neighborhoods in 2008, and the proposed project will interview those who had moved out of the neighborhoods. We will locate and interview the movers, both in Nepal and elsewhere in the world. This will constitute a significant advance in methods by including in the same data set both stayers and movers from a neighborhood. We plan to utilize a wide range of innovative methods to interview a very large percentage of all migrants from these neighborhoods and households. We will create the procedures and instruments for our research, tailoring them to fit the circumstances of the individual migrants and their specific destination locations. We will evaluate the success of our data collection, with special attention paid to response rates and the quality of the data collected. We will also evaluate differentials in our success across the migrant destinations and across their personal attributes and the characteristics of their origin households and neighborhoods. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will take advantage of important innovations in international communication technology and the widespread and increasing availability of cell phones and the internet to interview migrants at destinations anywhere in the world and to follow them over time. Migration is influenced by health and has important implications for the health of both those who choose to migrate and those who choose to remain in the origin communities. This project will permit better understanding of all of these health-related factors.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是探索/发展研究补助金（R21）的一项建议，旨在创建和评估新的和创新的程序，以从一个领域的家庭和家庭收集数据，并将这些信息与从该地区移民到世界其他地方的个人和家庭联系起来。这项研究是由于研究人员无法获取和将有关移民及其目的地社区的信息与有关其起源社区以及不移动的信息的信息联系起来的许多局限性。无法将起源社区，住宿和移民联系起来也是对重点关注其他主题（例如家庭，婚姻，生育和健康）的项目的有效性的威胁。 这项研究将利用国际通信技术中的重要创新，例如手机和互联网 - 创建新的方式来采访世界各地目的地的移民，随着时间的流逝跟随移民，并将其链接到其原始社区。这项研究将基于尼泊尔的一个长期项目，该项目从1996年到现在一直收集有关社区，家庭和个人的信息。 This parent project in Nepal has a sample of movers and stayers in a representative sample of neighborhoods in Nepal.父母项目在2008年采访了居住在这些社区的人们，拟议的项目将采访那些搬出社区的人。 We will locate and interview the movers, both in Nepal and elsewhere in the world. This will constitute a significant advance in methods by including in the same data set both stayers and movers from a neighborhood. 我们计划利用广泛的创新方法来采访这些社区和家庭的所有移民中很大一部分。我们将为我们的研究创建程序和工具，以量身定制它们以适合各个移民及其特定目的地位置的情况。 We will evaluate the success of our data collection, with special attention paid to response rates and the quality of the data collected.我们还将评估我们在移民目的地的成功及其个人属性以及其起源家庭和社区特征的差异。 公共卫生相关性：该项目将利用国际通信技术的重要创新，以及手机和互联网的广泛使用和越来越多的可用性来采访世界上任何地方的目的地移民，并随着时间的推移跟随他们。移民受到健康的影响，对选择迁移的人和选择留在起源社区的人的健康具有重要意义。 This project will permit better understanding of all of these health-related factors.
