Rochester Youth Development Study: The Next Generation of Research(ers)

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel is intended to highlight the measurement space and breadth of research objectives that can be achieved with the Rochester Youth Development Study. The Rochester Youth Development Study is a prospective, longitudinal study that began in 1988. It is currently in Phase 4 of data collection, spanning nearly 40 years. This panel also highlights the study's intergenerational extension, the Rochester Intergenerational Study, which centers around the firstborn child of the original Rochester Youth Development Study participants. Various researchers will present studies aligning with their individual research agendas using Rochester Youth Development Study and Rochester Intergenerational Study data. The discussant is the original principal investigator, Dr. Terence Thornberry, who will speak to the life course of the studies and provide thoughts on the next generation of research(ers) from the Rochester Youth Development Study.
