This supplement to the longitudinal survey Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) focuses on child development, and covers such topics as school progress, academic achievement and cognitive ability, social well-being, emotional well-being, and health. The Child Development Supplement (CDS) was launched in 1997 with a cohort of children aged 0-12 years, with follow-up waves in 2002 and 2007. The CDS in 2014 and 2019 collected information on the next generation of PSID children aged 0-17 years in each wave. Detailed variable-level descriptions for CDS-2020 and CDS-2021, which enable data discovery and comparison, are available through Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID): Child Development Supplement, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 39179).

The Child Development Supplement (CDS) to the longitudinal survey Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) focuses on child development, and covers such topics as school progress, academic achievement and cognitive ability, social well-being, emotional well-being, and health. CDS-2021 was designed as a two-year follow-up to a main wave of CDS conducted in 2019 in order to support research on the effects of a cohort of children aged 2-17 years in 2021 for whom prior interview data in CDS-2019 were collected just prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The original CDS was launched in 1997 with a cohort of children aged 0-12 years, with follow-up waves in 2002 and 2007. CDS in 2014 and 2019 collected information on the next generation of PSID children aged 0-17 years in each wave. For information about these earlier data collections, see Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID): Child Development Supplement, 1997-2019.

This PSID supplement includes information collected in 2009 and 2013 to investigate the connections between disability, time use, and well-being for older adults.

Users should consult the data owners (via PSID) directly for details on obtaining the data. The PSID is the world's longest-running nationally representative household panel survey. With over 50 years of data on the same families and their descendants, the PSID is a cornerstone of the data infrastructure for empirically based social science research in the U.S. PSID gathers data on the family as a whole and on individuals residing within the family, emphasizing the dynamic and interactive aspects of family economics, demography, and health. PSID data were collected annually from 1968-1997 and biennially after 1997. In the Main Interview, one person per family is interviewed on a regular basis. Information about each family member is collected, but much greater detail is obtained about the reference person and, if married/cohabitating, the spouse or long-term cohabitor. Survey content changes to reflect evolving scientific and policy priorities, although many content areas have been consistently measured since 1968. Information includes employment, income, wealth, expenditures, health, education, marriage, childbearing, philanthropy, and numerous other topics. With low attrition and high success in following young adults as they form their own families, the sample size has grown from roughly 5,000 families in 1968 to more than 10,000 families and 24,000 individuals by 2017. Over the course of the study, the PSID has distributed data on more than 80,000 individuals. The long panel, genealogical design, and broad content of the data offer unique opportunities to conduct generational and life-course research. The PSID now contains thousands of inter- and intragenerational relationships over 50 years of data, including: "Paired" generational relationships, with each family in the pair providing independent interviews (as of the 2017 wave) Parent-Adult Child pairs: ~5,500 Sibling pairs: ~3,600 Cousin pairs: ~4,500 "Tripled" generational relationships, with all three generations providing independent interviews (as of the 2017 wave) Grandparent-Parent-Adult Child triplets: ~1,400 The PSID gathers rich information in the domains of health, wealth, and pensions. These data can be used in combination with panel data on employment, income, race, and education. Data collected on health includes health status, onset and recency of health conditions, health behaviors such as alcohol use, smoking, and exercise, BMI, health insurance, and expenditures. Information about mental health was collected starting in 2001. A health history calendar was implemented starting in 2007 to collect information on early childhood health conditions, including age of onset and duration.

The Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS), started in 2005 and collected biennially through 2021, captures data on the development pathways and outcomes of children who participated in the 1997 PSID Child Development Supplement as they transition into young adulthood. Beginning in 2017, all PSID sampled children entering early adulthood are eligible to participate in the TAS. Detailed variable-level descriptions for the 2021 TAS, which enable data discovery and comparison, are available through the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID): Transition into Adulthood Supplement, 2021.
