The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is a longitudinal survey of a nationally-representative sample of U.S. families that began in 1968. <ref> McGonagle, K., Schoeni, R., Sastry, N., and Freedman, V. (2012). The Panel Study of Income Dynamics: Overview, Recent Innovations, and Potential for Life Course Research. Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, 3, 268–284. </ref> The original 1968 PSID sample came from two sources: a nationally representative sample of approximately 3,000 families designed by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan (the “SRC sample”) and an over-sample of approximately 2,000 low-income families from the Survey of Economic Opportunity (the “SEO sample”).  PSID interviewed individuals from families in these two samples every year from 1968 to 1996 and biennially thereafter—whether or not they were living together in the same dwelling.  In 1997, because of the escalation in costs driven by the doubling of the sample size during its 30-year history, PSID was forced to drop some families from the study.  The cuts were made from the SEO sample.  Between 1997 and 1999, an immigrant refresher added to PSID a representative sample of families that had moved to the U.S. between 1968 and 1997.
Little information on children in PSID families was obtained until 1997, when extensive data collection began on the original PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS).  CDS was launched with the goal of improving the understanding of social, psychological, and economic aspects of childhood within an ongoing nationally-representative, longitudinal study of U.S. families.  Information was collected on psychological and social wellbeing, health status and behavior, family environment, education, child care, time use, sibling relationships, caregiver social and psychological resources, absent parents, future work and schooling expectations, and religiosity.
The original CDS began in 1997 with a cohort of 3,563 children from 2,394 families (88% of those selected).  Up to two children aged 0–12 years were randomly selected in each family and interviews were conducted with the children’s primary caregivers (PCGs; usually the children’s mother).  Eligible CDS participants were descended by blood or adoption from the original 1968 PSID lineage or the 1997 PSID immigrant refresher sample.  In most cases, this means that the child’s father or mother is the child or grandchild of an original 1968 PSID respondent.
In 2002/2003, CDS families who participated in the 2001 Core PSID were contacted for a second round of data collection.  CDS-II successfully re-interviewed 2,019 families (91%) who provided data on 2,907 children and adolescents aged 5–18 years.  During 2007/2008, 1,506 children aged 10–19 years were successfully re-interviewed (90%).  For CDS-III, a completed interview as reported by either the child or the PCG constituted a successful re-interview, reflecting older children’s ability to provide self-reported information, as compared with CDS-I and CDS-II when the children were younger requiring a completed interview from the PCG for a case to be considered a completed interview.
By 2014, all of the children in the original 1997 CDS cohort had reached adulthood, and a new generation of children had replaced them in PSID families.  The goal for CDS-2014 was to collect information on all PSID children aged 0–17 years in this new generation, and to shift the orientation of CDS from a study of a single cohort—as was done in the original CDS—to a study obtaining information on the childhood experiences of all children in PSID families in 2014 and at planned five-year intervals that will support research based on multiple cohorts of PSID children.  These new data will allow studies of health, development, and well-being in childhood;the relationship between children’s characteristics and contemporaneous family decisionmaking and behavior; and the effects of childhood factors on subsequent social, demographic, economic, and health outcomes over the entire life course for these individuals as they are followed into the future as part of the ongoing Core PSID.
The CDS-2014 sample included all PSID families that completed a Core PSID interview in 2013 and had one or more resident children.  CDS-2014 participants form a nationally-representative sample of children descended from the original 1968 families and the 1997 new immigrant refresher sample.  (The CDS-2014 sample does not cover children from families in which both parents are post-1997 immigrants to the U.S.)  All eligible PSID children in each family were selected for CDS-2014, in contrast to the limit of two children per family in the original CDS.  Fieldwork began in the fall of 2014 and continued through to the spring of 2015.
CDS-2014 was primarily a telephone interview; however, a random 50 percent of households were selected to receive an in-home visit to collect information that could not be obtained reliably by telephone.  The in-home component included reading and math assessments for children (and reading assessments for PCGs), time diaries for a random weekday and a random weekend day, and interviews with children aged 8–11 years.  The in-home visits facilitated the collection of other study components that were otherwise collected using a mail-out/mail-back protocol, including saliva samples for subsequent genotyping and anthropometric measurements.
The content of the new, ongoing CDS is similar to that in the original CDS.  Interviews were completed with PCGs and with older children themselves.
CDS-2014 provides rich, comprehensive, and up-to-date information on a large, nationally-representative sample of children that includes an over-sample of African American children and a representative sample of immigrant children.  Public use data are available free of charge through the PSID Online Data Center (www.psidonline.org), which provides customized extracts and codebooks using a detailed index of variables.  Sensitive information from CDS-2014 are designated as restricted data, but are available to researchers through a data contract.
There are several unique features of CDS-2014 that will provide many important research opportunities to analysts.  First, because the CDS children’s parents are also participants in PSID, there is an enormous amount of data available from previous waves of Core PSID on many aspects of their lives—as well as the lives of parents’ parents (the CDS-2014 children’s grandparents).  These data can be combined to intergenerational transmission of human and social capital as well as health status.  Information is available in CDS-2014 on siblings and cousins, providing unique research opportunities.  Second, many of the CDS-2014 children were born to members of the original CDS cohort, providing unique opportunities to examine intergenerational connections in child development and behavior.  Third, the original CDS and the new CDS-2014 will allow researchers to study cohort differences in development between children born from 1985 to 1996 and those born from 1997 to 2013, as well as differences between younger and older members of these cohorts.  Fourth, as CDS-2014 children move into adulthood, they will be interviewed in the PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement in 2017 and beyond, and will also become primary PSID respondents.  The information collected in the new CDS will provide invaluable insights into the effects of childhood experiences and circumstances on later adult development and on adult social, demographic, economic, and health outcomes.  Finally, the genetic markers from CDS-2014 will allow researchers to address a number of important scientific questions that span the interests of population geneticists and social scientists.

What are the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS) and PSID Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS)?[edit]

The PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS) and Transition into Adulthood Supplement (TAS) are longitudinal, multicohort studies to support research on the well-being of US children and young adults over historical and developmental time in family, school, and neighborhood context.

What is the Panel Study of Income Dynamics?[edit]

CDS and TAS are embedded in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the world’s longest-running nationally representative household panel survey. With over 50 years of information collected from the same families and their descendants, PSID is a cornerstone of the US data infrastructure for empirically based social science research.

Annually between 1968 and 1997 and biennially since then, PSID has collected data on individuals and families that emphasize the dynamic and interactive aspects of family economics, demography, and health. When paired with CDS and TAS, the design and content of PSID enable research on the intergenerational influence of family on child and young adult outcomes and on how childhood and young adulthood shape later health and well-being.
