MINDMAP Harmonization Protocol
The objective of the MINDMAP Harmonization Protocol was to generate harmonized datasets across participating longitudinal cohort studies to address the research objectives of the MINDMAP Harmonization Initiative.

Information Content
The MINDMAP Harmonization Protocol includes participant data on individual-level determinants and outcomes collected by 7 longitudinal cohort studies, with 1 to 7 data collection events per study, and area-level information on environmental exposures from publicly available databases. The harmonization protocol includes a total of 2,890 core variables, generated across 11 study-specific datasets.
The harmonized dataset covers information on:
Individual-level determinants and outcomes
* Participants' socio-demographic and economic characteristics
* Participants' lifestyle and behaviours
* Participants' perception of health, quality of life, development, and functional limitations
* Participants' personal and family history of diseases
* Participants' use of prescription medications
* Participants' physical measures and assessments
* Participants' cognition, personality, and psychological measures and assessments
* Participants' life events, life plans, beliefs and values
* Participants' laboratory measures
Area-level environmental exposures
* Physical environment
* Social environment

Harmonization
Scroll over each status icon to get more details on the corresponding harmonization results:
- Complete - study-specific variable is the same as DataSchema variable (status detail = identical) or needs transformation to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = compatible) or unknown (status detail = unknown)
- Partial - categorical study-specific variable (status detail = proximate) or other types (status detail = tentative) could generate DataSchema variable but with loss of information or unknown (status detail = unknown)
- Impossible - study does not collect DataSchema variable (status detail = unavailable) or cannot be used to generate DataSchema variable (status detail = incompatible) or unknown (status detail = unknown)
- Not Applicable - harmonization status is not relevant
- Undetermined - harmonization status not determined
