Description: Clinical exam, questionnaire, and image-derived data will be made available to other researchers who request it formally. The data will be de-identified and linked only by code numbers. To further minimize the risk of breaches of confidentiality, we will establish data-use sharing agreements, and consider employment of electronic firewalls, locked storage facilities, password authentication of users, audit trails, and disaster prevention/recovery plans. We will stipulate that data are used only for research purposes, that proposed research using the data will be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board, and data will not be transferred to other users. The data would be available upon completion of necessary data management and statistical analyses. At that time, data could be provided on appropriate storage media via mail. Data files would be provided in SAS format, with PDF documentation files. We also will provide copies of questionnaires and images from which our data are derived.
