Collaborate with Us

We would love to help make these data useful for purposes beyond our initial aims. If you'd like to collaborate with us, please complete our data request form.

Final research data, with all identity-related information deleted and in consultation with the relevant IRBs, will be made available to the scientific community for collaborative research with members of the study team, upon request. The data will be shared in spreadsheet format for all non-imaging data and in NIFTI format for fMRI data.

Data will be shared upon request in consultation with relevant IRBs for further analysis, once the study's primary results have been published. Qualified investigators who wish to access the study materials can complete a form on the main project website on GitHub, which describes the study and delineates the specifics of data use.

The requests will be reviewed and approved by the investigators and by the relevant IRBs. To protect participant privacy, data that may be difficult to de-identify (including geolocation data) will be shared at an aggregate level, with restrictions as developed in consultation with the IRB at the University of Pennsylvania. The requested research data files will be accompanied by a description of variables and how they were collected. The study will also share protocols relevant to data collection procedures as needed, and in consultation with other interested researchers.
