The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1973-78 cohort Core Data Release, Survey 8 data, 2018
No full textThe Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey, first funded in 1995, which examines the health of over 57,000 Australian women. The project was designed to explore factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. ALSWH goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan. The first survey was conducted in 1996, and covered three groups, the 1973-1978 cohort, the 1946-1951 cohort, and the 1921-1926 cohort. In 2013, a new cohort of young women, aged 18-23 and known as the 1989-95 cohort, were recruited. Each cohort receives different questionnaires, which vary in the types of questions asked, but in essence cover issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. A detailed description of the background, aims, themes, methods and progress of the study is given on the project web page https://www.alswh.org.au/about/. This particular dataset refers to Survey 8 of the 1973-78 cohort and is a part of the Core Data Release. Some data in this data release were modified to maintain the confidentiality of ALSWH respondents

OxCGRT Australian Subnational Dataset
No full textTracking Australian Subnational policy outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) coding system, we provide a systematic and objective account of the strength of Covid-19 response policies that have been instigated by Australia’s federal government and state and territory governments.
Currently we provide coding for 16 indicators. These indicators allow the creation of four different indices: the stringency index, the containment and health index, the government response index and economic support index. The dataset is updated continuously in real time
Journeys Home (Waves 1-6)
No full textJourneys Home: A Longitudinal Study of Factors Affecting Housing Stability was a national survey of Australians who were either homeless or at high risk of becoming homeless. Data collection commenced in September 2011 with a further five waves of data collected approximately six months apart. Journeys Home was funded by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA), and run by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at The University of Melbourne. Roy Morgan Research (RMR) was sub-contracted to undertake the fieldwork. It was designed as a tool for enabling research that would improve understanding of the pathways into and out of homelessness in Australia and the consequences of homelessness for long-term outcomes. Three different data releases are available, depending on your research requirements and location. These releases are General, Restricted, and International. In the General and International releases some variables (such as location, industry and debt) are confidentialised. The International release also limits some income related variables
The Child and Parent Emotion Study
No full textIntroduction: Parents shape child emotional competence and mental health via their beliefs about children’s emotions, by modelling emotion regulation skills, emotion-related parenting, and the emotional climate of the family. Much of the research to date has been based on small samples with mothers of primary school-aged children. The Child and Parent Emotion Study (CAPES) aims to examine longitudinal associations between parent emotion socialisation, child emotion regulation and socioemotional adjustment at four time points. CAPES will investigate the moderating role of parent gender, child temperament and gender, and family background. Methods: CAPES is an age-stratified longitudinal cohort study. CAPES recruited 1,992 parents of children aged 0–9 years and 264 prospective parents (i.e, pregnant parents of their first child) in 2018–2019. Parents are residents of six English-speaking countries (i.e., Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, UK, Ireland). Participants completed online self-report surveys that included several measures of parent outcomes, including parent emotion socialisation (e.g., parents’ beliefs about children’s emotions, parents’ stress), and age-sensitive measures of child outcomes (e.g., child emotion regulation, child internalising problems). Between 2018 and 2021, three timepoints of data have been collected, in intervals of approximately 12 months. Data collection for time 4 will be completed by late 2022. This dataset includes three timepoints of data, for participants who consented to share their data (N=2,069)

Growing Up in Australia: Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) Release 9.1 C2 (Waves 1-9C)
No full textGrowing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is a major study following the development of approximately 10,000 young people and their families from all parts of Australia. It is conducted in partnership between the Department of Social Services, the Australian Institute of Family Studies and the Australian Bureau of Statistics with advice provided by a consortium of leading researchers. The study began in 2003 with a representative sample of children (who are now teens and young adults) from urban and rural areas of all states and territories in Australia. The study has a multi-disciplinary base, and examines a broad range of research questions about development and wellbeing over the life course in relation to topics such as parenting, family, peers, education, child care and health. It will continue to follow participants into adulthood. The study informs social policy and is used to identify opportunities for early intervention and prevention strategies. Participating families have been interviewed every two years from 2004, and between-wave mail-out questionnaires were sent to families in 2005 (Wave 1.5), 2007 (Wave 2.5) and 2009 (Wave 3.5). The B cohort (“Baby” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 0–1 years in 2003–04, and the K cohort (“Kinder” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 4–5 years in 2003–04. Study informants include the young person, their parents (both resident and non-resident), carers and teachers. The study links to administrative databases including Medicare (Immunisation, MBS and PBS), NAPLAN, and Centrelink – with participant consent – thereby adding valuable information to supplement the data collected during fieldwork. In 2014-15, a special one-off physical health and biomarkers assessment of parent-child pairs was undertaken in the younger cohort. The cross-generational datasets from this ‘Child Health CheckPoint’ are available in the Additional Release files. LSAC Wave 9 (aka 9C) covered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young persons, their families and communities. Wave 9C was unlike any other wave undertaken by LSAC. Instead of the traditional face-to-face methodology, the data collection was split into two shorter online surveys (9C1 and 9C2), with Survey 9C2 also offering a telephone interview option. Two short survey in Wave 9C allows measurement of similarities and differences in responses as COVID-19 restrictions changed over time. Survey 9C1 was in field October–December 2020 and Survey 9C2 was in-field June–September 2021
