Released/updated on: 2015-04-24

Geographic coverage: United States

This project collects data from a representative sample of 3-year-old farmworker children and their mothers (N=250) to examine the dietary and physical activity patterns of young Latino farmworker children. This study uses a site-based sampling strategy and assesses participants every three months over a two year period. Data collection includes 24-hour dietary recalls, use of accelerometers for collecting objective assessments of children's physical activity, and maternal interviews.

Midlife in the United States: Core Sample Mortality Data, 1995-2023 (ICPSR 37237)

Released/updated on: 2025-07-10

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1995-01-01--2023-01-01

In 1995-1996, the MacArthur Midlife Research Network carried out a national survey of over 7,000 Americans aged 25 to 74 (ICPSR 2760). The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of behavioral, psychological, and social factors in understanding age-related differences in physical and mental health.

With support from the National Institute on Aging, an initial follow-up of the original Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) samples was conducted in 2004 (MIDUS 2). The daily stress and cognitive functioning projects were repeated at MIDUS 2; in addition the protocol was expanded to include biomarkers and neuroscience. In 2005, a baseline sample of 592 African Americans from Milwaukee was added to MIDUS to examine health issues in minority populations.

In 2013, a third wave (MIDUS 3) of survey data was collected on longitudinal participants. Data collection for this follow-up wave largely repeated baseline assessments (e.g., phone interview and extensive self-administered questionnaire), with additional questions in selected areas (e.g., economic recession experiences, optimism and coping, stressful life events, and caregiving). A third wave of cognitive functioning data and a second wave of the Milwaukee sample were also collected. Data collection for the daily diary, biomarkers, and neuroscience is ongoing. This dataset includes all known MIDUS decedents (N=2,533) from the Core National and Milwaukee samples as of December 2023.

Nonstandard Maternal Work Schedules and Child Health in Impoverished Families (ICPSR 35852)

Released/updated on: 2015-04-24

Geographic coverage: United States

This project collects data from a randomly selected community-based cohort of economically disadvantaged mothers of infants (N=450) to examine the influence of maternal work on the physical health and emotional well-being of children. The project recruits mother-infant dyads when children are 3 months of age and follows them until children are 30 months old.

Women's Physical Activity and Eating Habits: Influence of Work-Family Balance (ICPSR 35836)

Released/updated on: 2015-04-28

Geographic coverage: United States

The project collects repeated-measures data from a cohort of 400 women, stratified by race and educational attainment, and whose oldest child is aged 4 to 9, to examine how Black women and those with little education prioritize their work, family, and self care. Data are collected at 4 points across one year to capture natural rhythms in women's lives, including those imposed by their child's school schedule (e.g., holiday breaks).
