National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP): Round 1, [United States], 2005-2006

The National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) is the first population-based study of health and social factors on a national scale, aiming to understand the well-being of older, community-dwelling Americans by examining the interactions among physical health, illness, medication use, cognitive function, emotional health, sensory function, health behaviors, and social connectedness. It is designed to provide health providers, policy makers, and individuals with useful information and insights into these factors, particularly on social and intimate relationships. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC), along with Principal Investigators at the University of Chicago, conducted more than 3,000 interviews during 2005 and 2006 with a nationally representative sample of adults aged 57 to 85. Face-to-face interviews and biomeasure collection took place in respondents' homes. The following files constitute Round 1: Core Data, Marital/Cohabiting History Data, Social Networks Data, Medications Data, and Sexual Partners Data. Included in the Core file (Datasets 1 and 2) are demographic characteristics, such as gender, age, education, race, and ethnicity. Other topics covered respondents' social networks, social and cultural activity, physical and mental health including cognition, well-being, illness, medications and alternative therapies, history of sexual and intimate partnerships and patient-physician communication, in addition to bereavement items. In addition data was collected from respondents on the following items and modules: social activity items, physical contact module, sexual interest module, get up and go assessment of physical function and a panel of biomeasures including, weight, waist circumference, height, blood pressure, smell, saliva collection, taste, and a self-administered vaginal swab for female respondents. The Core file also contains a count of the total number of drugs taken, and a variable for each observed therapeutic category, indicating whether the respondent reported taking one or more medications in that category. These variables are derived from the information in the medications file, and thus are guaranteed to be consistent with it. The Marital/Cohabiting History file (Dataset 3) contains one record for each marriage or cohabitation identified in Section 3A of the questionnaire. The Social Networks file (Datasets 4 and 5) contains one record for each person identified on the network roster. Respondents who refused to participate in the roster or who did not identify anyone are not represented in this file. The Medications file (Dataset 6) contains one record for each item listed in the medications log (including alternative medicines and nutritional products). Respondents who did not report taking any medications or who refused to participate in this module are not represented in this file. Lastly, the Sexual Partners file (Dataset 7) contains one record for each sexual partner identified in Section 3A of the questionnaire. NACDA also maintains a Colectica portal with the NSHAP Core data across rounds 1-3, which allows users to interact with variables across rounds and create customized subsets. Registration is required.

《国家社会生活、健康与老龄化项目》（NSHAP）系首次在国家级别上对健康与社会因素进行的基于人群的研究，旨在通过考察身体健康、疾病、用药、认知功能、情绪健康、感官功能、健康行为以及社会联系之间的相互作用，来理解居住社区的老年美国人的福祉状况。该项目旨在为健康服务提供者、政策制定者以及个人提供关于这些因素的有用信息和洞察，特别是在社会和亲密关系方面。该项目由《国家民意调查中心》（NORC）与芝加哥大学的资深研究员共同实施，于2005年至2006年间对全国代表性的57至85岁成年人进行了超过3000次访谈。面对面访谈和生物测量收集均在受访者的家中进行。以下文件构成了第1轮数据：核心数据、婚姻/同居历史数据、社交网络数据、用药数据以及性伴侣数据。核心文件（数据集1和2）中包含了人口统计学特征，如性别、年龄、教育程度、种族和民族。其他主题涵盖了受访者的社交网络、社会和文化活动、身体和心理健康（包括认知、福祉、疾病、用药和替代疗法），以及性伙伴关系的历史和患者与医生的沟通，此外还包括丧亲问题。此外，还从受访者那里收集了以下项目和模块的数据：社交活动项目、身体接触模块、性兴趣模块、身体功能起床和行动评估以及包括体重、腰围、身高、血压、嗅觉、唾液收集、味觉和女性受访者的自我进行阴道拭子在内的生物测量面板。核心文件还包含用药总数以及每个观察到的治疗类别的变量，表示受访者是否报告在该类别中服用一种或多种药物。这些变量来源于用药文件中的信息，因此与该文件保持一致。婚姻/同居历史文件（数据集3）包含问卷第3A节中确定的每项婚姻或同居记录。社交网络文件（数据集4和5）包含网络名单中确定的每个人的记录。拒绝参与名单或未识别任何人的受访者不在此文件中体现。用药文件（数据集6）包含用药日志中列出的每项物品的记录（包括替代药物和营养产品）。未报告用药或拒绝参与此模块的受访者不在此文件中体现。最后，性伴侣文件（数据集7）包含问卷第3A节中确定的每个性伴侣的记录。NACDA还维护了一个包含第1-3轮NSHAP核心数据的Colectica门户，使用户能够跨轮次交互变量并创建定制子集。需要注册。
