“…Biological sample collection varies in respondent burden, is sometimes invasive and has data storage implications (International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories, 2008). More importantly, there is some evidence from the UK that including a nurse visit for biological data collection in longitudinal studies has a negative effect on cooperation in the wave directly after the visit, although the effect is mostly short‐term and these visits did not have a longer‐term impact on subsequent wave participation (Pashazadeh, et al., 2021). Some cognitive tests, observational and interviewer assessments require the presence of a human interviewer or assessor requiring resources beyond those needed for an online or computer‐administered survey.…”

IntroductionLongitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population (herein study) investigate trends in prevalence, incidence, risk/protective factors, and sequelae for disorders. They are time and resource intensive but offer life‐course perspectives and examination of causal mechanisms. Comprehensive syntheses of the methods of existing studies will provide an understanding of studies conducted to date, inventory studies, and inform the planning of new longitudinal studies.MethodsA systematic review of the research literature in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO was conducted in December 2022 for longitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population. Records were grouped by study and assessed for eligibility. Data were extracted from one of four sources: a record reporting study methodology, a record documenting child mental disorder prevalence, study websites, or user guides. Narrative and tabular syntheses of the scope and design features of studies were generated.ResultsThere were 18,133 unique records for 487 studies—159 of these were eligible for inclusion. Studies occurred from 1934 to 2019 worldwide, with data collection across 1 to 68 time points, with 70% of studies ongoing. Baseline sample sizes ranged from n = 151 to 64,136. Studies were most frequently conducted in the United States and at the city/town level. Internalizing disorders and disruptive, impulse control, and conduct disorders were the most frequently assessed mental disorders. Of studies reporting methods of disorder assessment, almost all used measurement scales. Individual, familial and environmental risk and protective factors and sequelae were examined.ConclusionsThese results summarize characteristics of existing longitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population, provide an understanding of studies conducted to date, encourage comprehensive and consistent reporting of study methodology to facilitate meta‐analytic syntheses of longitudinal evidence, and offer recommendations and suggestions for the design of future studies.

Interviewer Effects on the Measurement of Physical Performance in a Cross-National Biosocial Survey

Biosocial surveys increasingly use interviewers to collect objective physical health measures (or “biomeasures”) in respondents’ homes. While interviewers play an important role, their high involvement can lead to unintended interviewer effects on the collected measurements. Such interviewer effects add uncertainty to population estimates and have the potential to lead to erroneous inferences. This study examines interviewer effects on the measurement of physical performance in a cross-national and longitudinal setting using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. The analyzed biomeasures exhibited moderate-to-large interviewer effects on the measurements, which varied across biomeasure types and across countries. Our findings demonstrate the necessity to better understand the origin of interviewer-related measurement errors in biomeasure collection and account for these errors in statistical analyses of biomeasure data.
