Summary View help for Summary
The overarching objective of the Adolescent Health and Development in Context (AHDC) Project is to collect multilevel, multi-contextual data on a large sample of 1,405 youth ages 11 to 17 years in Franklin County, Ohio. The study emphasizes the interplay of social, psychological, and biological processes in shaping youth developmental outcomes such as risk behavior and victimization, mental and physical health, and educational outcomes. The study employs a prospective cohort design in which the data on youth and caregivers were collected at two time-points, approximately one year apart. The Wave 1 field period began in spring 2014 and was completed in summer 2016. Wave 2 was conducted between January and December 2016. Within each wave, participant data were collected over a weeklong period. An Entrance Survey with both a focal youth and his or her caregiver was followed by a seven-day smartphone-based Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking and EMA data collection period (EMA Week), and a final Exit Survey at the end of the week.

The study employs a prospective cohort design in which the data on youth and caregivers were collected at two time-points, approximately one year apart. The Wave 1 field period began in spring 2014 and was completed in summer 2016. Participant data were collected over a weeklong period. An Entrance Survey with both a focal youth and his or her caregiver was followed by a seven-day smartphone-based Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data collection period (EMA Week), and a final Exit Survey at the end of the week.
The Entrance Survey was collected at a preliminary in-home visit with adolescent participants and their caregivers. It included a wide range of measures across social, economic, psychological, health, and behavioral domains. Both adolescent and caregiver participants reported on geographic location of and experiences at routine activities (e.g. school, work, church, stores, relative's house).
The real-time Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) surveys were collected via self-administered survey on project-provided smartphones. The study phones also passively collected GPS spatial coordinates during the seven-day EMA collection period. Youth respondents were prompted up to five times a day, and asked to report on their location, network partner presence, risk behaviors, mood, surrounding social climate, and sleep patterns.
A second visit, the Exit Survey, gathered follow-up information about the EMA week. The youth completed an interactive Space-Time Budget with the interviewer to collect detailed activity data on five days - the three most recent weekdays and two weekend days. The processed GPS data results in summarized stationary and travel periods during those five days, along with activity types and network partner presence. Concurrently, caregivers completed a self-administered survey about perceptions of social climate and safety in their neighborhood and at other routine locations.
Sample View help for Sample
The study area is a contiguous space within the Interstate 270 loop outerbelt freeway, encompassing a majority of the city of Columbus as well as several suburban municipalities.
The sampling frame was based on a combination of a vendor-provided list of households in the study area with high probability of meeting eligibility criteria and directory data from public school districts represented in the study area. Households were mailed a letter or postcard describing the study, followed by interviewer calls to the household to solicit participation in the study. Once eligibility was confirmed with the household, one randomly selected youth aged 11-17 and one primary caregiver (English speaking) were recruited to participate in the study.
The racial/ethnic identity of the final sample of 1,405 youth is 47% white, 38% Black, 5% Hispanic/Latino, 8% multiracial, and 2% Asian. The sample closely approximates the population in the study area with respect to household income of families with children and youth racial/ethnic composition, with the exception that the AHDC sample has a somewhat higher percent of youth who identified as Black compared with the 2009-2013 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates of the area.
