DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to carry out a fourth round of survey data collection with a sample of about 5,400 American women and men. Participants-most of whom will be between the ages of 60 and 80 at the time of their in- person interviews in 2010-are randomly selected sisters or brothers of individuals who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in 1957 and who have been followed ever since. The combined "graduate" and "sibling" data-supplemented with interviews of graduates' and siblings' spouses or widows and a variety of administrative records-form the core of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS). [The strengths of the WLS as a resource for studies of midlife and aging lie in its longitudinal scope, its exceptional sample retention, the broad content and quality of survey and administrative data, and its relational design. It has successfully followed a large and socioeconomically diverse sample from high school graduation (and before) to the retirement years, and it tracks social and economic relationships among the graduates and their significant others: parents, children, siblings, nieces and nephews, and high-school friends. No other large-scale, longitudinal study has all of these features. A 2010 round of contacts with siblings will greatly enhance the unique scientific value of the WLS as a resource for research on health and aging.] We request support for two- hour personal interviews, cognitive and performance assessments, and self-administered leave-behind (or mail) surveys of the WLS siblings. Surveys will replicate and extend content appearing in previous waves of the WLS and will also contain innovative content modules that will further enhance the analytic value of the data. Participants were previously surveyed by telephone and mail in 1994 and 2005; a highly stratified random subset of about 2,100 was also interviewed by telephone in 1977. Considering the age of many of the participants, we will conduct proxy interviews for members of the sample who are not currently able to participate directly. The data collection activities proposed here (for the siblings) and elsewhere (for graduates, spouses, and children) will complement other WLS data collection activities that are already in progress. These include: obtaining large, stable samples of DNA from graduates and siblings; regularly linking to Medicare/Medicaid records and to the National Death Index; and interviewing survivors of deceased graduates and siblings (widows or widowers, children, and siblings) on a continuous basis. All WLS data will be released to the research community-either directly or through a secure data enclave, consistent with high standards of protection for the privacy and confidentiality of research participants-as soon as they have been collected, cleaned, and documented. The WLS is unique as a large scale longitudinal study of adults and their families across more than half a century, and its continuation will support a broad, inter-disciplinary agenda of research on social, psychological, biological, and economic factors in health and aging. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The current round of data collection for the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS)-which includes this application to collect and analyze another wave of data from siblings of the primary respondents-is designed (1) to provide high quality longitudinal data on health and aging and (2) to facilitate a broad array of multidisciplinary research on the determinants of health and well-being of older women and men. We intend and expect that our new data, along with the rich data presently available from the WLS, will inform public policy in an era of increasing individual responsibility for health and well-being in the retirement years.

描述（申请人提供）：我们建议开展第四轮调查数据收集，样本涉及约 5,400 名美国女性和男性。参与者（2010 年接受采访时大多数年龄在 60 岁至 80 岁之间）是随机选择的姐妹或兄弟，这些人是 1957 年从威斯康星州高中毕业的人，并且从那时起就一直受到跟踪。合并的“毕业生”和“兄弟姐妹”数据，辅以毕业生和兄弟姐妹的配偶或寡妇的访谈以及各种行政记录，构成了威斯康星州纵向研究（WLS）的核心。 [WLS 作为中年和老龄化研究资源的优势在于其纵向范围、出色的样本保留、调查和管理数据的广泛内容和质量及其关系设计。它成功地跟踪了从高中毕业（及之前）到退休年龄的大量社会经济多样化样本，并跟踪了毕业生及其重要他人之间的社会和经济关系：父母、孩子、兄弟姐妹、侄女和侄子以及高中生之间的社会和经济关系。 -学校的朋友。没有其他大规模的纵向研究具有所有这些特征。 2010 年与兄弟姐妹的一轮接触将大大增强 WLS 作为健康和老龄化研究资源的独特科学价值。] 我们请求支持两小时的个人访谈、认知和表现评估以及自我管理的留守（或邮寄）WLS 兄弟姐妹的调查。调查将复制和扩展前几波 WLS 中出现的内容，还将包含创新的内容模块，进一步增强数据的分析价值。参与者之前曾于 1994 年和 2005 年通过电话和邮件进行过调查； 1977年，还通过电话采访了约2,100人的高度分层随机子集。考虑到许多参与者的年龄，我们将对目前无法直接参与的样本成员进行代理采访。这里（针对兄弟姐妹）和其他地方（针对毕业生、配偶和子女）提议的数据收集活动将补充已经在进行的其他 WLS 数据收集活动。其中包括：从毕业生和兄弟姐妹那里获取大量、稳定的 DNA 样本；定期链接到医疗保险/医疗补助记录和国家死亡指数；持续采访已故毕业生的幸存者和兄弟姐妹（寡妇或鳏夫、儿童和兄弟姐妹）。所有 WLS 数据在收集、清理和记录后，将直接或通过安全数据飞地发布给研究界，符合对研究参与者隐私和机密性的高标准保护。 WLS 是独一无二的，它是对成年人及其家庭进行半个多世纪的大规模纵向研究，其延续将支持对健康和老龄化的社会、心理、生物和经济因素进行广泛的跨学科研究议程。公共卫生相关性：威斯康星州纵向研究 (WLS) 的本轮数据收集（包括用于收集和分析主要受访者兄弟姐妹的另一波数据的应用程序）旨在 (1) 提供关于以下方面的高质量纵向数据：健康和老龄化；(2) 促进关于老年妇女和男子健康和福祉决定因素的广泛的多学科研究。我们打算并期望我们的新数据以及 WLS 目前提供的丰富数据将为个人在退休年龄的健康和福祉责任日益增加的时代提供公共政策信息。
