- Time Frame
- Scientific data included in published manuscripts will be available at the time of publication; all other generated scientific data will be shared with the NDA repository no later than the end of the award.
- Access Criteria
- Publications from this research will be made available to the public through the National Library of Medicine PubMed Central website within one year after the date of publication. The research project team and PRISM/Collaboratory Program Coordinating Center will work together in order to offer deidentified or limited data sets that will be available to the public. Where practicable, Limited Datasets (LDSs) will be created and shared pursuant to a Data Use Agreement (DUA) appropriately limiting use of the dataset and prohibiting the recipient from identifying or reidentifying (or taking steps to identify or re-identify) any individual whose data are included in the dataset. No PHI or VA sensitive data will be shared, unless approved by VA Privacy Officers. Only authorized research personnel as approved by the ACOS in agreement with the MPIs, will have access to individually identifiable data.
The study data will be submitted to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Data Archive (NDA). Demographic and clinical outcome measures will be collected and shared using common data elements (CDEs ) from the NIH / HEAL CDE repository. Variable naming and permissible response values will be harmonized according to CDEs data dictionary specifications. Documentation to be made publicly available to the research community and will include: 1. The study protocol; 2. information sheet (provided per waiver of documentation of informed consent); 3. data collection forms/case report forms; 4. data dictionary.
