The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1989-95 cohort Core Data Release, Survey 4 data, 2016

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey, first funded in 1995, which examines the health of over 57,000 Australian women. The Study explores factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. ALSWH goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan. This cohort, women born 1989-95, were recruited in 2013. The cohort is regularly (to date, either annually, or biennially) surveyed via an online questionnaire covering issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. A detailed description of the background, aims, themes, methods and progress of the study is given on the project web page https://www.alswh.org.au/about/. This particular dataset refers to Survey 4 of the cohort and is a part of the Core Data Release. Some data in this data release were modified to maintain the confidentiality of ALSWH respondents.

澳大利亚女性健康纵向研究（ALSWH）是一项基于人群的纵向调查，首次于1995年获得资助，旨在探究超过57,000名澳大利亚女性的健康状况。该研究深入探讨了影响女性健康的各种因素，这些女性在整体上代表了整个澳大利亚人口。ALSWH超越了将女性健康等同于生殖和性健康的狭隘视角，全面审视了女性一生中健康的所有方面。出生于1989-95年的这一队列女性于2013年被招募。该队列定期（截至目前，无论是每年还是每两年）通过在线问卷进行调查，问卷内容涵盖整体身心健康、医疗服务使用、教育及就业状况、药物及/或酒精使用、饮食、锻炼和家庭状况等问题。关于研究的背景、目标、主题、方法和进展的详细信息可在项目网页https://www.alswh.org.au/about/找到。本数据集特指队列的第4次调查，并属于核心数据发布的一部分。为了维护ALSWH受访者的隐私，本次数据发布中部分数据进行了修改。
