# Health, Wealth, and Time Use Over the Life Course and Across Generations

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 2020 · $340,228

## Abstract

Project Summary
This application proposes to collect, process, and disseminate three modules in the 2017 and 2019 waves
of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally
representative sample of U.S. families that was begun in 1968. A cornerstone of the nation's social science
research infrastructure, PSID has collected nearly 40 waves of data on original families and their
descendants. Its long-term measures of economic and social wellbeing allow study of the dynamics of
social and behavioral processes and how they interact with health over the life course. Its design of
following children of sample members when they become economically independent supports study of the
intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic circumstances and health. Nearly 4,000 publications over
its nearly 50-year history attest to the PSID's broad scientific reach. This project will collect, process, and
distribute data on health, wealth, and time use for approximately 10,000 families in PSID's 2017 and 2019
waves. Specifically, the project will: 1. Collect health status, health behaviors, health insurance coverage
and health care expenditure data, add a validated screen for dementia, and continue linkages to the
National Death Index and Medicare claims; 2. Collect wealth, active savings, and pension data and develop
multiply imputed measures of net worth; and 3. Develop and collect a new module on time use and for a
subsample collect objective physical activity and proximity data. After collection, data will be processed and
distributed via PSID's Online Data Center, which allows users to create customized extracts and
codebooks. Sensitive data will be made available to qualified users under contract with the University of
Michigan. The proposed modules will make the PSID the only long-term panel representative of the full U.S.
population equipped to study life course and multigenerational aspects of health, wealth and time use.
