Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 3): Milwaukee African American Sample, 2016-2017

In 2005, 592 African Americans from Milwaukee were added to the MIDUS sample to examine health issues in minority populations (for more details, see Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 2): Milwaukee African American Sample [ICPSR #22840]). Respondents were interviewed in their homes using a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) survey protocol and asked to complete and return a Self-Administered Questionnaire (SAQ). Afterwards these individuals were eligible for participation in the same research protocol as the national MIDUS 2 sample, including cognitive, daily stress, biomarker, and neuroscience projects. With support from the National Institute on Aging, a second wave of survey data collection on the Milwaukee sample was begun in 2016. The survey consisted of a 2.5 hour CAPI interview followed by a 45-page mailed SAQ. CAPI survey data was collected for 389 individuals, realizing a 78 percent response rate, adjusted for mortality and other eligibility criteria. Data collection for this follow-up wave largely repeated baseline assessments, with additional questions in selected areas (e.g., economic recession experiences, childhood experience with race, etc.). Following successful completion of the CAPI and SAQ protocols, individuals were eligible for participation in cognitive, daily stress, biomarker, and neuroscience projects.

2005年，592名来自密尔沃基的非洲裔美国人被纳入MIDUS样本，以探讨少数族裔人群的健康问题（更多详情请参阅《美国中年研究（MIDUS 2）：密尔沃基非洲裔美国人样本》[ICPSR #22840]）。受访者在家中进行计算机辅助个人访谈（CAPI）调查，并被要求完成并返回一份自我管理问卷（SAQ）。随后，这些个人有资格参与与全国MIDUS 2样本相同的科研协议，包括认知、日常压力、生物标志物和神经科学项目。在获得美国老化研究所的支持下，2016年开始对密尔沃基样本进行第二次调查数据收集。调查包括一个持续2.5小时的CAPI访谈，随后寄送一份45页的自我管理问卷。对于389名个体进行了CAPI调查数据的收集，调整后的回应率为78%，考虑了死亡和其他资格标准。这次后续波次的数据收集主要重复了基线评估，并在选定领域增加了额外问题（例如，经济衰退经历、童年种族经历等）。在成功完成CAPI和SAQ协议后，个人有资格参与认知、日常压力、生物标志物和神经科学项目。
