How to... (for data requesters):

Q: Find out what data BrainMAPD has been collecting/has collected?

A: Check out Data Summary page. First tab indicates a list of self-report data at each time point. The second tab indicates a list of other types of data (e.g., behavioral, MRI) data at each time point.

Q: Find out the status of the data collection/ database set up progress?

A: Go to Data Access page, and refer to the Status column. If the status indicates "Available," the corresponding datasets can be provided upon request.

Q: Acquire permission to use your data

A: Complete the data request form (see the link in the navigation bar). Upon submission, the PIs will receive an automated message and a copy of your completed form. They will then be in touch with you after evaluation.

Q: Now that I have received approval from the PIs, how can I access the database?

A: Please send the BrainMAPD research coordinators your Google email address, so they can grant you access to the specific data. To download the files, you may visit the "Data Access" page.

Q: I have received a permission to use the data from the PIs, but still cannot access the data using the above link.

A: The data access is limited to the Google email address you provide for the research coordinators who give you the access. Please try again using your Google email address. If issues persist, please contact the research coordinators directly.
