intergenerational support and health services utilization Publications: ， Krochalk, P. C., Li, YW., Chi, I.

for full text Datasets I am working on: ， SSAPUR: I am working on the data from
2000 Sample Survey of Aged Population in Urban and Rural (SSAPUR), a national
survey conducted by China Research Center on Aging in 2000. The second wave
of data collected in 2006 will be ready for use in the near future. I look
specifically on health and health care access among the Chinese elders. The
key question I would like to ask is how the health inequality is among the
Chinese elderly population and which factors contribute to that situation. ， CHNS: China Health and Nutrition
Survey is a 9-province survey conducted by the Population Center in the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill from 1989 to 2006 . I use this
longitudinal data to examine the ecological effects of local community on
health status change among the Chinese elders. One key question I would like
to get answer from this dataset is if where the elder lives has an impact on
their health in the long run. CV: Click here for my cv. (2008.01.05) Personal life: Click here for my personal
