## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
Through two investigator‐initiated research grants, NICHD has provided core support for data collection
by the Mekong Island Population Laboratory project (MIPopLab) and its successor, the Mekong
Integrated Population‐Registration Areas of Cambodia project (MIPRAoC). De‐identified datasets and
documentation pertaining to data collected by MIPopLab from 2000 to 2006 have been deposited with
the Data Sharing for Demographic Research program (DSDR) program and have been distributed by the
Inter‐university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) since 2017
(http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36601.v1). The aim of this project is to accelerate the creation and
documentation of de‐identified datasets pertaining to data collected by MIPRAoC between 2008 and
2014 and to add them to the extant repository so that they become available to the general scientific
community.
 We aim to make data from MIPRAoC available to the general scientific community because we
believe that Cambodia’s unique history provides research opportunities to revisit extant demographic
and sociological issues, and these studies were designed to assess general human mechanisms rather
than context‐specific associations. Analyses of these data are expected to make a contribution to
general scientific knowledge, not limited to Cambodian demography and sociology.
 The specific aims of this project are thus:
1) To create and document de‐identified datasets from MIPRAoC’s HDSS data, extending the
 surveillance frame in MIPopLab population to 2000‐14, and adding comparable 2008‐2014 data
 across six areas at different stages of socio‐economic development and urbanization;
2) To create and document de‐identified datasets from MIPRAoC’s HDSS Orphan Rider Survey, which
 collected diverse data from the same population over time to compare the wellbeing of adults who
 lost a parent during childhood and of those who did not (total sample size of 5,500 individuals) and
 can be linked to HDSS data through unique individual identifiers (UIN), allowing for comparisons of
 individuals who lost and those who didn’t lose a parent during childhood across a wide range of
 transition‐to‐adulthood outcomes.
