NCT00745056

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, observational study of the cohort of older post-menopausal participants in the WHI Memory Study, a sub-cohort of participants in the WHI Hormone Trials. Annual cognitive assessments and ascertainment of cognitive impairment enable the continued monitoring of long-term effects of randomization to HT on cognition and identification of predictors of cognitive vulnerability and resilience in older women.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

WHIMS-ECHO will follow guidelines, methods and processes as set forth in the WHI 2015-2020 Data Sharing Plan. Limited data sets will be archived on the WHIMS-ECHO website. Accompanying the limited data sets, substantial electronic documentation will be provided in a standard format that is readable on a variety of platforms. Documentation will include data collection forms, a description of study protocol and procedures, description of all variable re-coding and a list of major study publications. These data will be available to users only under a data-sharing agreement that provides for: a commitment to using the data only for research purposes and not to identify any individual participant; a commitment to securing the data using appropriate computer technology; and a commitment to destroying or returning the data after analyses are completed. Data will be made available for timely release no later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the final dataset.
