The purpose of the HRS ATW U24 network meeting held from 29 to 30 October 20205 (Aguascalientes, Mexico) is to facilitate ex-ante and continuous harmonization of research design among all international Health and Retirement Study (HRS) surveys. By harmonizing sampling, questionnaire content, and data collection, the resulting data can be used for international comparative analyses that examine how different political, institutional, environmental, social, and cultural factors influence outcomes related to aging and the life course. This information provides important insights for shaping policies and programs that promote healthy aging. Pročitajte Više
