Add Health is a national study conducted by the Carolina Population Center (CPC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and funded by the National Institute of Aging (NIA), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), and the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health (OD/NIH). Add Health has been gathering data about a group of young people who were first interviewed as teenagers in 1994 and 1995 and have been followed for nearly 30 years. The project is attempting to contact sample members who participated in 1994 and 1995 to interview them again. The full name of the study is the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Add Health Wave VI is being conducted to understand the life course exposures for health disparities and health among early midlife Americans, including cognitive, physical, and sensory functioning, substance use/abuse, mental health, and cardiometabolic health and well-being. 

Field Interviewers (FI) will be responsible for traveling frequently to selected locations to recruit study participants and answer questions. The FI will make in-person contact with selected respondents to discuss the study, answer questions, and obtain participation. They are tasked with collecting confidential information and administering standardized questionnaires, while independently managing administrative duties (including participating in conference calls and completing online trainings). The data collection period is expected to be February 2024 through December 2024. On average, you will be needed part-time (approximately 20 hours per week when work is available). On average, you should be available to work in the field 5 days each week.
