For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Self-management Need | SM-need (i.e. need for bipolar education or resourcefulness training or HRV-focused biofeedback training or no need for any) Resourcefulness Training: A cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered through iPad technology that consists of teaching and reinforcing personal (self-help) and social (help-seeking) resourcefulness skills. Biofeedback training: Use of a heart-rate variability (HRV) tracking device to enable one to learn to alter physiology to improve health. Devices are used to measure physiological activity, e.g., breathing and heart function, and provide rapid, accurate "feedback" to the user, thereby enabling desired physiological changes that can endure over time without continued use of the device and continue to influence behavior. Bipolar Education: An educational program designed to teach family caregivers of about the types, causes, symptoms, episodes, warning signs, and treatments for individuals with bipolar disorder, as well as available resources for assisting a family member with bipolar disorder. The content to be presented within an audiovisual format using iPad technology follows the recommendations and guidelines developed through research and by the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance and the National Institute of Mental Health. | 1 | None | 0 | 86 | 0 | 86 | View |
| Self-management Preference | SM-preference (i.e. preference for bipolar education or resourcefulness training or HRV-focused biofeedback training or no intervention) Resourcefulness Training: A cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered through iPad technology that consists of teaching and reinforcing personal (self-help) and social (help-seeking) resourcefulness skills.
