National Survey of American Life - Adolescent Supplement (NSAL-A), 2001-2004

The National Survey of American Life Adolescent Supplement (NSAL-A), 2001-2004, was designed to estimate the lifetime-to-date and current prevalence, age-of-onset distributions, course, and comorbidity of DSM-IV disorders among African American and Caribbean adolescents in the United States; to identify risk and protective factors for the onset and persistence of these disorders; to describe patterns and correlates of service use for these disorders; and to lay the groundwork for subsequent follow-up studies that can be used to identify early expressions of adult mental disorders. In addition and similar to the NSAL adult dataset (Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES), 2001-2003 [United States] (ICPSR 20240)), the adolescent dataset contains detailed measures of health; social conditions; stressors; distress; racial identity; subjective, neighborhood conditions; activities and school; media; and social and psychological protective and risk factors. Numerous variables from the adult dataset have been merged into the adolescent dataset, as the NSAL adult and adolescent respondents reside in the same households. Some of these variables apply to the entire household (i.e. region, urbanicity, and family income), while others apply specifically to the NSAL adult respondent living in the adolescent's household (i.e. adult years of education, adult marital status, and adult nativity [foreign-born vs. US born]). The immigration measures were asked of Caribbean black adult respondents only. No comparable measures assess the immigration and generational status of the Caribbean black adolescent respondents. The adult dataset measures are merged into the adolescent dataset to assist in approximating these measures for adolescent respondents. The NSAL adolescent dataset also includes variables for other non-core and experimental disorders. These include tobacco use/nicotine dependence, premenstrual syndrome, minor depression, recurrent brief depression, hypomania, and hypomania sub-threshold. Demographic variables include age, race and ethnicity, ancestry or national origins, height, weight, marital status, income, and education level.

《美国生活国家调查青少年补充调查》（NSAL-A），2001-2004年，旨在估算美国非裔和加勒比青少年中DSM-IV精神障碍的终身至调查时点和当前患病率分布、发病年龄、病程和共病情况；识别这些障碍发病和持续存在的风险和保护因素；描述这些障碍服务利用的模式和相关性；并为后续追踪研究奠定基础，这些研究可用于识别成人精神障碍的早期表现。此外，与NSAL成人数据集（协作精神病学流行病学调查（CPES），2001-2003年[美国]（ICPSR 20240））类似，青少年数据集包含了健康、社会状况、压力源、压力、种族认同、主观的社区条件、活动与学校、媒体以及社会和心理保护性和风险因素的详细测量。众多来自成人数据集的变量已被合并到青少年数据集中，因为NSAL成人和青少年受访者居住在相同的家庭中。其中一些变量适用于整个家庭（例如，地区、城市化和家庭收入），而其他变量则专门针对居住在青少年家庭中的NSAL成人受访者（例如，成人教育年限、婚姻状况和成人出生地[外国出生与美国出生]）。移民措施仅询问加勒比黑人成人受访者。没有可比措施评估加勒比黑人青少年受访者的移民和代际状况。成人数据集的测量值合并到青少年数据集中，以帮助估算青少年受访者的这些测量值。NSAL青少年数据集还包括其他非核心和实验性障碍的变量。这些包括烟草使用/尼古丁依赖、经前期综合征、轻度抑郁、复发性短暂抑郁、轻躁狂和轻躁狂阈下。人口统计学变量包括年龄、种族和民族、血统或国籍、身高、体重、婚姻状况、收入和教育水平。
