BR30.0 Data Release Script Refactor & Issues - Please Read Carefully🔗

As the Data Release script has been refactored from the ground up, there are a few general features yet to be fine-tuned and some known caveats for this first 3.0 BR release that will be addressed for the upcoming BR30.1 run. A non-exhaustive list is provided below and we encourage any additional feedback or observations. Please reach out if there any questions.

  • Shadow Matrix:

    • Shadow Matrix notes for blank fields to be further fine-tuned for proper display of hierarchical missingnness reasons
    • Gestational age and candidate age notes need to be updated so that the appropriate note is displayed when values are not available
  • Static & Dynamic tables (replaces Basic Demographics and Visit Data tables):

    • No forward override implemented for values on dynamic table (i.e. carrying the last known value forward to subsequent visits)
    • Rollover SU flags cumulative feature not present in BR30.0
  • Anthropometrics

    • ‘Weight for Length’ Z-score fields include notes (to be moved to separate field for BR30.1)
    • Notes on Shadow Matrix for SGA flags to be updated
  • MRI Data Summary form

    • Scan sequence (mri_ra_chkl_data_scn_002) not included due to issue with associated Levels configuration (to be addressed and included for BR30.1)

BR30.0 Resolved Issues & Updates🔗

= Known Issue     = Pending Update    

Table/Topic Summary
Behavior & Child-Caregiver Interaction
ECHO Addition of the Early Child Care and Education
ERICA Remove locomotor_ability fields from both tables
MAPS-EASI Addition of the MAPS-EASI- Toddler
MAPS-TL (Tod) Pro-rated scoring for mh_cg_mapdb__tod not yet implemented; N=16 participants missing scores.
MCHAT Addition of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers
Demographics
Basic Demo The screen_race_multi__* variables are almost entirely coded as '0' and should not be used for analysis. Users interested in race and ethnicity information should instead use the corresponding derived ACS race and ethnicity variable. Values will be corrected in a future release.
Static & Dynamic Tables The Demographics domain includes 2 tables with derived information grouped into visit-specific data (Visit Info) and general demographics (Basic Demographics). In a future release, these tables will be restructured to instead organize variables as either longitudinal (dynamic measures that change over time) or global (static measures, such as sex assigned at birth and race/ethnicity).
EEG
MADE v1.7.0 HBCD-MADE derivatives processed through updated version v1.7.0
General
Implausible GA A small subset of participants have implausible gestational_age (V01 only) values for one or more instrument. Until corrected, review GA distribution to exclude outliers from analysis (should be positive and generally < 45 weeks).
Blank Fields for Siblings Family-level (i.e., non-child-specific) instrument fields are currently populated only for the Main Child and not sibling records (e.g., HBCD Multiple Birth – Sibling). Until resolved, users should obtain family-level values for sibling participants by referencing the corresponding Main Child values (see mapping between Multibirth participants IDs in the HBCD Private Release Notes).
Neurocognition & Language
CDI-2 Addition of the MacArthur-Bates CDI-2 Language
Deferred Imitation Addition of instrument: Deferred Imitation Task: Gong and Berry-Go-Round
Novel Tech & Wearable Sensors
GABI Addition of raw BIDS data for GABI (infant heart rate).
Physical Health
Anthropometrics Add sex-specific birth weight to ph_ch_anthro (see Sex-Specific Birthweight for GA).
Child Nutrition Addition of the Child Nutrition Questionnaire.
Med History V1 Addition of V06
PEDsQL Addition of the PEDsQL
Social & Environmental Determinants
Demo Addition of V6 Adult
Demo Addition of V6 Child
Incarceration Addition of the Incarceration Questionnaire
