The data consist of a balanced panel of 8,468 families active in the PSID in both 2019 and 2021. The ZIP file contains 1 SAS data file and summary documentation. These data are preliminary, un-imputed, and some values will change for the final data release. ZIP FILE    2.6 MB 02/07/22 1968-2017  Family Composition File Release 1 The Family Composition File treats children as the unit of analysis. The file describes the relatedness and coresidence status of a child's biological, adoptive, step- and social parents and siblings at every wave from first observation (usually soon after birth) until a child is approximately age 18. The file is intended to describe family structure stability and change over the early life course from the perspective of minor children. The stacked file includes observations on sample children (i.e., those related by birth or adoption to original PSID householders) from all PSID years (1968-2017). This project is sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. ZIP FILE    14.1 MB 01/22/20 2014  Child Development Supplement - Polygenic Score Files Release 1 Three CDS-2014 early release data files contains 27 polygenic scores separately for three ancestry groups: African, European, and other. Each file also includes three global genetic principal components, an indicator of the assigned ancestry group derived from the genetic principal components, and a race/ethnicity variable constructed using the PSID survey data. The files include a pair of ID variables that identifies CDS-2014 households and each individual’s roster position within their CDS-2014 household. These variables allow users to merge polygenic scores with data from CDS-2014 and PSID using the procedures described in the CDS-2014 User Guide to Genomic Data. The CDS-2014 polygenic files include a total of 2,513 observations. For more information about the CDS-2014 genomic data, please see the User Guide to Genomic Data. For more information about CDS-2014, please see the User Guide. ZIP FILE    1.34 MB 12/06/21 2019  Child Development Supplement Release 1 An early release of the 2019 PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS-2019) is now available. The release includes selected information collected over two fieldwork periods from questionnaires administered to the primary caregivers of eligible children aged 0-17 years who resided in PSID family units at the time of the 2019 Core interview. CDS-2019 main data collection occurred between October 2019 and June 2020. A follow-up interview with a subset of CDS-2019 families between September and December 2020 focused on exposure to COVID-19 and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on family and child well-being. The early release file includes selected content from the main data collection period and the complete follow-up interview. The ZIP file contains 4 SAS datasets and 2 PDF documents. The CDS-2019 questionnaires are available in the Documentation section of the PSID website. The data files include information on 4,606 children and 2,610 caregivers. Other data, including additional constructed scales, CDS-2019 sampling weights, remaining questionnaire content areas and time diaries will be available in a future release along with full documentation of the study. This project was supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. ZIP FILE    2.19 MB 03/12/21
