How to Request MWCCS Data
To request a MWCCS data set, please follow the instructions on this page.
Please, note that data sets will only be provided upon receipt of an approved Concept Sheet. Instructions for MWCCS Collaboration Concept Sheet development and submission can be found via the link: Concept Sheet Development and Submission.
Email the following documents to the Data Manager, Anna Rubtsova, PhD, MSc
- Approved concept sheet;
- A completed data request form MWCCS Data Request Form.
Additionally, please, note:
- Your data request should be based on the approved concept sheet and be within its scope. You may be able to request additional variables that were not explicitly mentioned in your approved Concept Sheets only if these variables are not connected to new research questions or hypotheses. In most cases, the additional data may be limited to control variables.
- MWCCS data exists in the form of numerous but separate data tables each corresponding to related study forms. As these forms change it is important to note that one variable, longitudinally, may be located in multiple tables. Given the volume and complexity of the data, it may take considerable time and effort to find specific variables of interest and extract them from data tables. Please, allow at least two weeks from the date of submission for receipt of the data.
