The Center extends its resources to path-breaking work across the US and in more than 50 other countries and makes its findings available to a global audience. A nationally recognized training program that educates the next generation of population scholars.
The Add Health Parent Study (AHPS) is housed at the Carolina Population Center (CPC). The Add Health Parent Study (AHPS) is an innovative project in which a multiethnic/racial and interdisciplinary team of scientists will collect longitudinal cognitive, social, behavioral, and biological data on parents of the members of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). The proposed Phase 2 of AHPS will increase the samples of Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic parents in AHPS, consent and administer an Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Assessment, collect DNA, link longitudinal AHPS data to longitudinal Add Health data, harmonize cognitive measures across the two generations, assemble a multigenerational genomic database, and make these new data available to the scientific community of 50,000+ Add Health and AHPS users. This project will facilitate the study of racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive aging, caregiving, and AD/ADRD risk across two generations with longitudinal, nationally representative data collected from adult children and their parents.
The Research Assistant will work under the supervision of one of the Add Health Parent Study Project Manager. The research assistant will help with overall daily tasks that include replying to emails, phone calls and following up participant requests, especially those that pertain to the AD/ADRD assessment protocols. The research assistant will work closely with the AD/ADRD Assessment project manager and programmer to assist them in close monitoring of the assessment data, trouble shoot data issues and prepare any updates to the protocols to the IRB for approval. The research assistant will also provide help in variable construction and descriptive analyses of AD/ADRD data for validity checks by comparing prevalence estimates of the various cognitive assessments to data from other comparable national studies.About the company
