SHARE in the Czech Republic
Survey of Health, Ageing and
Retirement in Europe
Welcome to the
official website of the SHARE project in the Czech
Republic. SHARE is a multi-disciplinary
international time-collection database of
microdata on health, socioeconomic status and
social and family networks of approximately
150,000 individuals (over 530,000 interviews) aged
50+ from all EU countries, Switzerland and Israel.All information on the project can be found at its official website at https://share-eric.eu/.
This English language website has its mirror website in Czech language.
The data collection is carried out by the SCaC agency. More information on the project can be found on their website.
Wave 10 Data Collection of the SHARE project started
The 10th wave of SHARE-ERIC data collection has begun in October and will continue till March 2025. In Wave 10 contains an innovative project neuroSHARE focusing on early detection of Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. The neuroSHARE project is prepared in cooperation with researchers from the First Faculty of Medicine at the Charles University and the Czech Technical University. The project consists of a speech, sleep and smell tests collected immediately after the main interview. We are very thankful to all respondents and interviewers for their cooperation. More information can be found at websites of SCaC survey agency.neuroSHARE Project in
Wave 10 of the SHARE project
In the
10th wave of the SHARE project in the Czech Republic
we introduce a collection of neuromarkers consisting
of three tests: a test of
smell, speech and a questionnaire on REM sleep
quality in cooperation with the 1st Medical
Faculty of Charles University and the Czech
Technical University in Prague. For the first
time, these tests will be fielded on a large
population sample. The goal of the project is
early detection of neurodegenerative diseases such
as Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases as well as
depression, their timely detection and treatment.
We are planning even more extensive
collection of objective data, so-called biomarkers in
Wave 11. This project will be carried out in
collaboration with the large RECETOX research
infrastructure at Masaryk University in Brno. Data from Wave 9 of the SHARE project are available for download
Data from all countries participating in the 9th wave of the SHARE-ERIC are available for download at https://share-eric.eu/data/data-access, with full documentation https://share-eric.eu/data/data-documentation and other information at https://share-eric.eu/ and http://share.cerge-ei.cz/. Data are in open access in STATA and SPSS formats, with data from national dropoff questionnaire (dropoff, module sharew9_rel9-0-0_dropoff) put together by external researchers cooperating with SHARE-CZ. Data from the HCAP questionnaire will be available in a few weeks.Field Rehearsal for
wave 10 under way in April and May
In April
and May 2024 the survey agency SCaC is conducting the
Field Rehearsal for wave 10. NeuroSHARE, a unique
project focusing on the early detection of the
Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases is also tested. The
neuroSHARE project is prepared in cooperation with
researchers from the First Faculty of Medicine at the
Charles University and the Czech Technical University.
The project consists of a speech, sleep and smell
tests collected immediately after the main interview.
News and innovations
in the SHARE project
In the
10th wave of the SHARE project in the Czech Republic
we are planning several important innovations. The
Czech team in cooperation with the SCaC survey agency
has successfully completed the collection of HCAP
(Human Cognitive Ability Protocol) data on cognition
in wave 9 and the collection of accelerometry data in
wave 8. Wave 10 will focus on the collection of
neuromarkers in the neuroSHARE project. It
will consist of a test of smell, speech and a
questionnaire on REM sleep quality in cooperation
with the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University
and the Czech Technical University in
Prague. We are planning even
more extensive collection of objective data, so-called
biomarkers in Wave 11. This project will be carried
out in collaboration with the large RECETOX research
infrastructure at Masaryk University in Brno.
Fieldwork in Wave 9 Data Collection of the SHARE project successfully completed
In September 2022, the survey agency SCaC successfully completed the 9th wave of SHARE-ERIC data collection. Two important innovations were a part of the 9th wave: the extensive test of cognitive abilities (the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol) and the interviewer survey. As always, external researchers placed their own questions in the dropoff questionnaire. We are again very thankful to all respondents and interviewers for their cooperation. More information can be found at websites of SCaC survey agency and here.Wave 9 Data Collection of the SHARE project has started
The 9th wave of SHARE-ERIC data collection continues till the end of summer 2022. The interview is again supplemented by the national dropoff questionnaire and in this wave also by a test of cognitive abilities for some respondents (the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol). Besides the Czech Republic, HCAP is also collected in four other SHARE countries. The fieldwork is done by the SCaC survey agency. All interviewers have completed their vaccination against Covid-19. We are very thankful to all respondents and interviewers for their cooperation. More information can be found at websites of SCaC survey agency and here.
