The Informatics Core, in collaboration with the rest of CIFASD, has developed a series of data dictionaries and input tools that can be used by any researcher interested in collecting similar data. They enable the various projects within CIFASD to share data and we encourage other projects interested in sharing data with CIFASD to take advantage of these standards and tools.
These data dictionaries and Input Tools are made freely available at:

Specific Tools include …
Data dictionaries describe the controlled vocabulary of the consortium, providing
variable names, labels, allowable values, and dependencies between variables.
The Input Tools are Microsoft Access databases that provide electronic data entry forms for collecting data that conform to the data dictionaries.
The data dictionaries and Input Tools are organized around a series of types of data:
Dysmorphology: Physical exam data plus a small, select set of variables for prenatal exposure and recruitment group.

Neurobehavior: Neuropsychological results for a battery of tests aimed at assessing academic achievement, behavioral and neurocognitive abilities. Neurobehavior I represents the eighteen exams used during CI-FASD’s first funding period. Neurobehavior II represents the fourteen exams, some of them overlapping with Neurobehavior I, used in CI-FASD’s second funding period, including multiple time tested information.

variables.
