项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central goal of this project is to produce a harmonized dataset of U.S. family and fertility surveys spanning the 1955-2002 period, including the 1955 and 1960 Growth of American Families (GAP); the 1965 and 1970 National Fertility Survey (NFS); and the 1973, 1976, 1982, 1988, 1995, and 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (Cycles 1-6 of the NSFG). This new Integrated Fertility Survey Series (IFSS) and its associated data products will facilitate analyses across nearly a 50-year period, yielding new insights into changes in fertility and the family. The past five decades have witnessed marked changes in family and fertility patterns. While scientists from a broad range of disciplines have produced a large body of research on these topics, the ability to make comparisons over time - a central task for understanding family change - has been inhibited by difficulties in using multiple datasets to make time-series comparisons (e.g., changes in universe, weighting procedures, imputation protocols, question wording, variable availability). This is especially the case when attempting to include surveys from the earlier years (i.e., 1950s and 1960s). Yet these early surveys, used in combination with later ones, would provide vital benchmarks for documenting and understanding transformations in fertility and the family. Our project has four goals: (1) to prepare clean, standardized electronic data files and documentation for ten fertility surveys and to archive and document the files at a single source site using Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) archival standards; (2) to produce a harmonized data file with metadata; (3) to create online data analysis files with an analytic interface; and, (4) to provide user training in the use of the harmonized data file and other data products created by the project. This project is consistent with the continuing mission of the Demographic and Behavioral Science Branch (DBSB) of NICHD with respect to research on fertility, the family, and family planning. Our project also has important implications for public health. It will provide a national resource to enhance knowledge about reproductive health, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and other issues vital to understanding and tracking the health of the population. Finally, this project follows the spirit of NICHD's incentive to make datasets like the fertility surveys accessible to a wider population.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的中心目标是生成 1955 年至 2002 年期间美国家庭和生育率调查的统一数据集，包括 1955 年和 1960 年美国家庭增长 (GAP)； 1965 年和 1970 年国家生育率调查 (NFS)；以及 1973 年、1976 年、1982 年、1988 年、1995 年和 2002 年全国家庭成长调查（NSFG 第 1-6 周期）。这一新的综合生育率调查系列 (IFSS) 及其相关数据产品将促进近 50 年期间的分析，从而对生育率和家庭的变化产生新的见解。过去五年见证了家庭和生育模式的显着变化。尽管来自广泛学科的科学家对这些主题进行了大量研究，但随着时间的推移进行比较的能力（理解家庭变化的核心任务）却因使用多个数据集进行时间序列比较的困难而受到限制（例如，宇宙的变化、加权程序、插补协议、问题措辞、变量可用性）。当试图纳入早年（即 1950 年代和 1960 年代）的调查时尤其如此。然而，这些早期的调查与后来的调查结合使用，将为记录和理解生育率和家庭的变化提供重要的基准。我们的项目有四个目标：(1) 为十项生育率调查准备干净、标准化的电子数据文件和文档，并使用大学间政治和社会研究联盟 (ICPSR) 存档标准在单一源站点存档和记录文件; (2) 生成包含元数据的统一数据文件； (3) 创建具有分析界面的在线数据分析文件； (4) 为用户提供使用协调数据文件和项目创建的其他数据产品的培训。该项目与 NICHD 人口与行为科学分部 (DBSB) 在生育、家庭和计划生育研究方面的持续使命是一致的。我们的项目对公共卫生也具有重要影响。它将提供国家资源，以增强有关生殖健康、避孕药具使用、怀孕以及对了解和跟踪人口健康至关重要的其他问题的知识。最后，该项目遵循了 NICHD 的激励精神，即让生育率调查等数据集可供更广泛的人群使用。
