PRI Brown Bag Lecture Series co-sponsored with the Department of Sociology and Criminology Dr. Sarah Burgard, Professor of Sociology, and Director of the Population Studies Center, University of Michigan "Remembrance of Things Past? Measuring Life Course Exposures Retrospectively" Major ongoing longitudinal studies of aging start interviewing respondents in later life and have added retrospective life history (RLH) interviews or retrospective questions to fill in information about earlier exposures and experiences of theoretical interest. These RLH interviews are relatively quick and cost-effective, but how good are RLH data? Are there measurement issues that have implications for how we understand life course exposures or the way they link to later life outcomes? If there are such issues, do they affect all individuals, or influence some groups more than others? This talk will present results that speak to these questions from an adaptation of the SHARELIFE RLH interview – the ACLLIFE interview – that was collected in 2021 from respondents of the long running American's Changing Lives (ACL) prospective study, who were 25 and older at baseline in 1986.
