Tsogolo La Thanzi 3 (TLT-3), Malawi, 2019 [Healthy Futures] (ICPSR 39882)
Released/updated on: 2026-08-06
Time period: 2019-01-01--2019-12-31
Tsogolo La Thanzi (TLT) is a decade-long population-based cohort study of young women and men from Balaka, Malawi. Tsogolo La Thanzi means "Health Futures" in Chichewa, Malawi's most widely spoken language. TLT has followed young adults (ages 15-25 at enrollment, 15-35 inclusive) as they navigate relationships and childbearing within the context of a generalized AIDS epidemic. TLT enrolled more than 3000 individuals and collected 11 waves of data, covering a 10-year period (2009-2019) that spans massive changes in the HIV treatment context in Malawi as well as the ages of peak incidence and peak fertility for female respondents.
This particular study contains the data collected from an additional survey referred to as Tsogolo La Thanzi 3 (TLT-3), fielded in 2019, following the release of ten waves of data collected between 2009 and 2015. Unlike the past where the sample included male partners, this third round of data collection focused solely on women.
TLT-3 covered many of the same topics found in the original TLT multi-wave project such as: relationships, religion, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, marriage, sexually transmitted diseases, and future expectations.
Additionally, modules specific to TLT-3 included: kinship, mental health, and trust in clinics. These data can be used cross-sectionally or can be merged with previous waves to facilitate analyses of a full ten years of social change in Balaka township and across the life course.

Center for Education and Drug Abuse Research (CEDAR): Etiological and Prospective Family Study in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Baseline and Follow-Up Data, 1990-2014 (ICPSR 33444)
Released/updated on: 2021-06-30
Geographic coverage: United States, Pennsylvania
Time period: 1990-01-01--2014-12-31
The Center for Education and Drug Abuse Research (CEDAR) conducted research on 775 families enrolled in the Center's prospective investigations into the etiology of substance use disorder (SUD). The pro-bands are men with lifetime presence/absence of SUD consequent to use of an illicit drug who have a 10-12 year old biological son or daughter. The biological children of SUD men are assigned to the high average risk (HAR) group whereas offspring of men without SUD, having neither axis 1 disorder ("normal") nor SUD psychiatric disorder, are assigned to the low average risk (LAR) group. A second control group (Psych control) was also collected, in whom the fathers had a lifetime DSM-III-R diagnosis of any psychiatric disorder not related to substance use. The sample sizes are as follows: HAR = 344, LAR = 350, and Psych = 81. The children had follow-up evaluations conducted at ages 12-14, 16, 19, and annually thereafter until age 30. CEDAR has already shown that they can predict in 10-12 year old youth cannabis use disorder by age 22 with approximately 70 percent accuracy, thereby substantiating the paradigm, subject recruitment strategy, and measurement protocols. Multidisciplinary research was conducted on family members (father, mother, children) with the objective of elucidating the genetic, bio-behavioral, and environmental factors on development of SUD consequent to use of illegal drugs. Research protocols are organized into three thematically connected research modules (Neurogenetics, Developmental Psychopathology, and Translation) linking etiology and prevention. The research components thus align with the NIH Roadmap model such that basic science informs clinical research leading to prevention guided by an understanding of etiology. In addition to module-level research, faculty also participate in three organizational aims: (1) Devise a practical scale to quantify the transmissible liability to SUD; (2) Empirically test a bio-psychological theory of SUD etiology focusing on off-time maturation leading to psychological dysregulation predisposing to SUD; and, (3) Delineate SUD liability variants within an ontogenetic framework.

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Young Adult Self Report, Wave 3, 2000-2002 (ICPSR 13751)
Released/updated on: 2006-10-12
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 2000-01-01--2002-12-31
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One of the measures that composed the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Young Adult Self Report (YASR). The YASR protocol was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach. It has been a widely used measure for evaluating subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 with respect to their functioning in social relationships, level of mental, emotional and physical health, substance use and abuse, and their tendencies toward antisocial and criminal behavior. The Wave 3 PHDCN version of the Young Adult Self Report offered a thorough self-assessment of the respondents belonging to Cohorts 15 and 18 of the Longitudinal Cohort Study. The Wave 3 instrument featured a reduced version than was used in Wave 2 (PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): YOUNG ADULT SELF REPORT, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 [ICPSR 13666]).

One of the measures employed by the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Emotionality, Activity, Sociability, and Impulsivity (EASI) Temperament Survey. The EASI Temperament Survey, introduced in the mid-1970s by Arnold H. Buss and Robert Plomin, was designed to evaluate subjects based on four temperaments (emotionality, activity, sociability, and impulsivity). For the purposes of the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study, the EASI Temperament Survey was administered both to subjects and primary caregivers (PC). The young adults comprising cohort 18 completed the EASI Temperament Survey as a self-report inventory, while the primary caregivers of children belonging to cohorts 3 through 15 completed the EASI Temperament measure as a parental ratings survey. Respondents were asked to determine how accurately the behaviors or personality traits mentioned, characterized the subject in question, either themselves or their child. The responses to the EASI measure were used to evaluate the subjects' various social tendencies, emotional characteristics, and personality traits.

Human Aging: A Biological and Behavioral Longitudinal Study of Healthy Aged Males, 1957-1968 (ICPSR 7678)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1957-01-01--1968-12-31
This data collection contains data gathered in a
longitudinal study of a sample of men aged 65 to 92 who were in good
health during the first wave of the study in 1957. The chief aim of
the study was to focus on the nature of the normal aging process in
individuals of advanced age. The 47 study participants had not
suffered from accidents, illnesses, severe emotional or personality
problems, or environmental difficulties that might have led to
premature aging, but 20 participants showed evidence of asymptomatic
subclinical disease. This group represented the typical or "average"
healthy aged individual with minimal degrees of physical
pathology. Five years later, in 1962, a follow-up study was conducted
with 29 of the 39 men still alive. The second follow-up, done in 1968,
involved 19 of the surviving 23 men. The data are arranged in files by
year: 1957, 1962, and 1968. Included are psychiatric data and medical
evaluative data as well as various psychological and medical test
scores (e.g., psychometric data, electroencephalographic data,
audiological test data, responses to the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory (MMPI), Rorschach test results, personality test
results, Inflund Selective Recall Test results, audiometric conduction
findings, clinical psychology ratings, cerebral blood flow, and
metabolism studies), and biographical and demographic data.
