The first five studies in the new Child Trauma Data Collection Series are now accessible through DSDR:

The Child Trauma Data Collection Series represents the work of the Child Trauma Data Archives (CTDA) project at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This international collaborative project is bringing together data from studies of children exposed to many types of trauma, including disaster, injury, violence, and maltreatment. The collection provides a growing research resource that facilitates cross-study analyses of individual-participant-level data, with a goal of making the data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) through use of common data elements (CDE) and metadata across these and future child trauma studies. 

The Series currently includes prospective studies that follow children after an exposure to a specific acute trauma. Future releases will include additional prospective studies and intervention studies that evaluate prevention or treatment of traumatic stress in children. Variables in the data relate to children’s psychological health and recovery, coping and social support, cognitive processes, and health or functional outcomes as well as some derived data from health and treatment records.
