Common Data Elements (β-version)
The Common Data Elements were initially developed by the Working Group 'Demographics
and Clinical Assessment' as part of the interagency initiative towards 'an integrated
approach to Research in Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury'. (NIH-NINDS;
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research; the department of
Veterans Affairs; the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center and the Defense Centers
of Excellence). The development of CDEs was further supported by a supplemental grant
from NIH-NINDS (NS 042691).
International input has been incorporated in this version.
Refining and validation of Common Data Elements is a continuing proces. Any kind of feedback or comments are very welcome and will be highly appreciated.
