Variables
-
The objective of the Baseline Mental Health Harmonization Protocol was to generate harmonized datasets across the population-based cohorts to address the research objective of the CanPath Harmonization Initiative.
- Version
- 3.4
- Number of Participants
- 66,224
- Approach
- Prospective
- Type
- Quantitative
- Procedures
- Harmonized data is generated by a central harmonization team (with the collaboration of studies).
- Participant Inclusion
- All CanPath participants from cohorts collecting data on mental health are eligible.
- Infrastructure
- Harmonized data can be transferred to external servers, and pooled data analysis can be achieved.
Information Content
The Baseline Mental Health Harmonization Protocol includes measures collected at baseline by two of the six CanPath population-based cohorts. The current dataset is the third release and includes 19 core variables.
The harmonized dataset covers information on participants':
* Anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7))
* Depression (Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9))

Initiatives Included
Harmonization
- Complete - study-specific variable is the same as DataSchema variable (status detail = identical) or needs transformation to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = compatible)
- Partial - categorical study-specific variable (status detail = proximate) or other types (status detail = tentative) could generate DataSchema variable but with loss of information
- Impossible - study does not collect DataSchema variable (status detail = unavailable) or cannot be used to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = incompatible)
- Undetermined - harmonization status not determined
- Not Applicable - harmonization status is not relevant
