REDCap: Best practices for Fields/Variables Field Names and Field Labels.

Eventbrite - NESSIE MUPFEKI presents SMART Variables (REDCap)- ONLY for Baker staff and their associates - Thursday, 10 September 2020 | Thursday, 10 December 2020 at Baker Level 3 meeting room, Melbourne, VIC. endobj Takeaway: Variable names should describe the data they collect and are ideally 26 characters or less (though longer is fine if your stats program can handle it). As you develop your project, the bulk of your work will probably be the creation of all these fields. The underscore will appear as a space in REDCap. endobj

c. All variables in a form must be in adjacent rows in the data dictionary. Remember to specify the version or the date in the title. As you develop your project, the bulk of your work will probably be the creation of all these fields. The ongoing formation of biomedical researchers in the fields of statistics, data manipulation, computation, and reproducible research methods is a focus of the NIH as well as the CHOP Research Institute. Things to do in Melbourne, Australia Events are social. Conversely, we often like to keep the variable name on the shorter side (e.g. Create a date variable E.g.
