The Social Genome Model (SGM) is a lifecycle model that uses data from three longitudinal surveys to track a matched panel of individuals from birth to age 30. The goal is to understand how private sector and public policy interventions could improve lifetime outcomes of children and young adults. The model also allows researchers to track patterns of development across different gender and race/ethnicity groups. This technical document outlines the process of creating the model and how to use it.
This technical document and user’s guide is an update to the previous edition, Social Genome Model 2.0 Technical Documentation and User’s Guide. This version describes the new model and includes sample results and summary statistics that reflect it; this version incorporates new variables and removes old ones. This version supersedes and replaces the 2.0 edition.
