Deserves careful study.

BD’s Rema LaPouse Lecture

A quibble: This “three generation” model requires us to ignore the pioneering field surveys of early Norway, which pre-dated the work of Jarvis cited here as ‘first generation’ work. (They are dismissed as key informant surveys.) As well as the work of A.J. Rosenau (1916-17), which was not just a key informant survey. It had a two-stage design of the type we laid out for Mini-Mental and DIS studies of the 1980-85 era (following clues from Scott Henderson and Paul Duncan-Jones Australia study of life events), but Rosenau had no rigorous random sample of all participants.
