DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, is modeled after the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS). SHARE is also tightly harmonized with the English Longitudinal Study on Aging (ELSA) and the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement (JSTAR). As opposed to HRS, ELSA and JSTAR, SHARE is a multi-country study which currently involves 20 countries with 27 language versions. SHARE has collected three waves of data in 2004, 2006 and 2008 and is currently in its 4th wave. The third wave in 2008 deviated from the strict panel design and collected retrospective life histories. The multitude of countries with their institutional variety and languages, combined with a large interdisciplinary set of variables stored in about 25 modules per wave, and the differentiation into individual-, couple- and household-level data, make SHARE a very complex data set. This complexity appears to reduce the usage of SHARE in non-European countries, in particular the US, and limits its potential as a widespread tool for cross- national comparisons in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic, healthcare and social policy environment. The aim of this project is to create a simplified and HRS-adapted dataset for researchers who are less experienced in the quantitative analyses of complex panel data and for student training and teaching. This dataset will include the same number of respondents and proxy reports as the main distribution of SHARE but will be restricted to a subset of variables. This will allow storing the database as a single file without the need for complex merges of database modules across the individual-, couple- and household-levels. In addition, we will add generated variables, such as indexes and recoded health, demographic, social and economic measures, which allow for direct analyses without extended data preparations. All variables will be labeled and documented using common descriptors adapted to the American language and the US institutional environment, with a synopsis targeted to comparisons with HRS. The simplified and HRS-adapted SHARE data set will be made available free of charge in the format of various statistical packages. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The long-run substantive aim of this project is to popularize the tool of cross-national comparisons in order to better understand how health outcomes in older ages are related to the economic, healthcare and social policy environment.

描述（由申请人提供）：欧洲的卫生，老龄化和退休调查是在美国卫生和退休研究（HRS）之后建模的。英国关于衰老的纵向研究（ELSA）和日本对衰老和退休的研究（JSTAR）也紧密地协调了份额。与HRS，Elsa和Jstar相反，Share是一项多国研究，目前涉及20个具有27种语言版本的国家。 Share在2004年，2006年和2008年收集了三波数据浪潮，目前处于第四波状态。 2008年的第三波浪潮偏离了严格的面板设计，并收集了回顾性的生活史。拥有机构多样性和语言的众多国家，再加上大约25个模块中存储在大约25个模块中的大型跨学科的变量，并分化为个体，夫妇和家庭级别的数据，使得共享非常复杂的数据集。这种复杂性似乎减少了非欧洲国家（尤其是美国）的份额使用，并限制了其作为跨国比较的广泛工具的潜力医疗保健和社会政策环境。该项目的目的是为研究人员创建一个简化且适应HRS的数据集，这些研究人员在复杂面板数据以及学生培训和教学的定量分析中经验不足。该数据集将包含相同数量的受访者和代理报告与股票的主要分布，但将仅限于变量的子集。这将允许将数据库存储为单个文件，而无需在个人，夫妇和家庭级别上进行复杂的数据库模块的复杂合并。此外，我们还将添加生成的变量，例如索引和重新编码的健康，人口，社会和经济措施，这些变量可以直接进行分析，而无需扩展数据准备。所有变量将使用适合美国语言和美国机构环境的通用描述符标记和记录，并具有针对与HRS比较的概述。简化且适应HRS的共享数据集将以各种统计软件包的格式免费提供。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的长期实质目标是普及跨国比较的工具，以便更好地了解老年时代的健康结果与经济，医疗保健和社会政策环境如何相关。
