Using longitudinal data, the proposed study will investigate the direct and indirect effects of continuing and evolving family, social, and economic conditions on physical and psychological well-being in a cohort of African American women originally recruited in 1966 when their children were first graders. The data come from a community epidemiological study of children and their families initiated in the 1960s in Woodlawn, a poor African American community on the south side of Chicago. The children and their mothers were followed over time, and the proposed study focuses on the mothers (n=1136). The women were interviewed at three time points over 25 years: 1967, when their children were in first grade (median age of 30); 1975, when their children were adolescents; and 1997, when their children were adults. In 1997, 1008 (89%) of the original cohort of women were located, and their ages ranged from 49 to 79 with a median age of 60. Most of the women were past the traditional childrearing stage of life and were approaching or had made the transition to retirement. They reported a wide array of physical and psychological health conditions as well as a number of functionallimitations and other disabilities. ¿ Our conceptual framework is based on a life course developmental perspective that focuses on roles within major social fields across the life course. The focus of the proposed study is to delineate the patterns of roles across the major social fields of family, work, and community, and to identify the pathways from these roles in early (median age 31, 1967) and mid adulthood (median age 39, 1975), to physical and psychological well being in later life (median age 61, 1997). The proposed research will require several different analytic approaches. We will begin with exploratory analyses to describe univariate distributions then we will conduct bivariate analyses to assess relationships among the variables. Our multivariate techniques will include regression analysis, survival analysis, transition analysis (latent class and latent transitional modeling), structural equation modeling, latent variable mixture modeling, and generalized estimating equations (GEE). We will study how family, work, and community in early and mid adulthood influence health of older women. Little is known about family and social influences on later health. This study will provide knowledge about African American women, an understudied group.

使用纵向数据，拟议的研究将研究持续和 不断发展的家庭，社会和经济状况，对身体和心理健康 非裔美国妇女最初是在1966年招募的，当时她们的孩子是一年级学生。数据来了 从1960年代在伍德劳恩（Woodlawn）发起的儿童及其家人的社区流行病学研究中 芝加哥南侧的可怜的非裔美国人社区。孩子和他们的母亲是 随着时间的流逝，拟议的研究集中在母亲（n = 1136）上。妇女接受了采访 在25岁以上的三个时间点：1967年，他们的孩子处于一年级（中位年龄30岁）； 1975年， 当他们的孩子是青少年时； 1997年，他们的孩子是成年人。 1997年，1008（89％） 最初的妇女队列被发现，其年龄从49至79岁不等，中位年龄为60岁。 大多数妇女都超越了传统的育儿阶段，正在接近或使 过渡到退休。他们报告了各种各样的身体和心理健康状况 作为许多功能性联盟和其他残疾。 我们的概念框架是基于生活课程的发展观点，该观点的重点是 整个生活课程的主要社会领域。拟议的研究的重点是描述 在家庭，工作和社区的主要社会领域的角色，并确定这些途径 在早期（1967年31岁）和成年中的角色（中位年龄39，1975），身体和身体 心理健康在以后的生活中（中位数61岁，1997年）。拟议的研究将需要几个 不同的分析方法。我们将从探索性分析开始，以描述单变量分布 然后，我们将进行双变量分析以评估变量之间的关系。我们的多变量 技术将包括回归分析，生存分析，过渡分析（潜在类和潜在 过渡建模），结构方程建模，潜在可变混合物建模和广义 估计方程（GEE）。 我们将研究早期和中期成人的家庭，工作和社区如何影响老年妇女的健康。 关于家庭和社会影响对以后健康的影响知之甚少。这项研究将提供有关 非洲裔美国妇女，一个知识的群体。
