This is a work in progress, the CDS team is working on this.

The 2014 Child Development Supplement (CDS) to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) collected data on children’s health, development, and well-being within the children’s family and neighborhood context for a nationally-representative sample of children in the U.S. CDS-2014 builds on the strengths of PSID, a genealogical study of U.S. families that began in 1968. The original CDS cohort, begun in 1997 on a cohort of children aged 0– 12 years was recently completed. In 2014, CDS was relaunched with an entirely new sample covering all children in PSID households aged 0–17 years. Detailed information was collected on the same topics as in the original CDS, and the study collected time diaries, assessments of reading and math skills, and interviews with children’s primary caregivers as well as with older children themselves. All of the data are publicly available free of charge through the PSID Online Data Center. Restricted data from CDS are also available to researchers through a contract. This User Guide provides essential information to researchers planning or undertaking research using the CDS-2014 data.
