Crossroads ClientCare Longitudinal (CCL) Database is our prototype of a successful community engaged data collection effort. The data is collected by Crossroads volunteers, owned and maintained by Crossroads. CARE serves in a consultative role and provides training about important issues such as protection of human subjects, data integrity, and use of validated scales and questionaires. CARE also provides data monitoring to help insure data reliability and integrity.
