| Summary: | National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add
Health) is a study of a nationally representative sample of more than
20,000 individuals that began with in-school questionnaires
administered to adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States in
1994-95, followed by three waves of in-home interviews in 1995, 1996,
and 2001-02. Information on these individuals covers the adolescent
years and their transition to adulthood. These data allow study of the
ways social contexts (families, friends, peers, schools,
neighborhoods, and communities) influence adolescents' health and risk
behaviors. Data at the individual, family, school, and community
levels were collected in two waves between 1994 and 1996. In 2001 and
2002, Add Health respondents, 18 to 26 years old, were re-interviewed
in a third wave to investigate the meaning of adolescence for health
and well-being outcomes in young adulthood. |
