The Malawi Longitudinal Study of Families and Health (MLSFH) is one of very few long-standing, publicly available longitudinal cohort studies in a sub-Saharan African (SSA) context. It provides a rare record of more than a decade of demographic, socioeconomic and health conditions in one of the world's poorest countries. The MLSFH was initially established in 1998 to study social network influences on fertility behaviours and HIV risk perceptions, and over time the focus of the study expanded to include health, sexual behaviours, intergenerational relations and family/household dynamics. The currently available data include MLSFH rounds collected in 1998, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 for up to 4000 individuals, providing information about socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, sexual behaviours, marriage, household/family structure, risk perceptions, social networks and social capital, intergenerational relations, HIV/AIDS and other dimensions of health. The MLSFH public use data can be requested on the project website: http://www.malawi.pop.upenn.edu/.
马拉维家庭与健康纵向研究(MLSFH)是撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)地区为数不多的长期公开的纵向队列研究之一。它提供了世界上最贫穷国家之一十多年来人口、社会经济和健康状况的罕见记录。MLSFH最初于1998年设立,旨在研究社会网络对生育行为和艾滋病毒风险认知的影响,随着时间的推移,研究重点扩大到包括健康、性行为、代际关系以及家庭/家庭动态。目前可用的数据包括1998年、2001年、2004年、2006年、2008年、2010年和2012年收集的MLSFH轮次数据,涉及多达4000人,提供了有关社会经济和人口特征、性行为、婚姻、家庭/家庭结构、风险认知、社会网络和社会资本、代际关系、艾滋病毒/艾滋病以及健康其他方面的信息。可在项目网站http://www.malawi.pop.upenn.edu/上索取MLSFH公共使用数据。
