CREATING A NEW DATABASE
Project title Purpose
If you choose research, then you need PI name, IRB number, type of research None is required, but helpful to have all information
If you choose other, then give description Type of project
Survey – allows you or participants to enter data (one time/person)
Data entry forms (classic or longitudinal) Survey and data entry forms

CREATING FORMS
Demographics form created automatically Can modify or delete
**1st variable on 1st form is the unique identifier for database**
Add forms/variables as needed Variable names must be unique – not case sensitive Variable labels can be reused (not always recommended) Form must have at least one variable to be saved
![Page 6: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
FIELD TYPES Text box
Used for all “free” entry including strings, numerics, dates Notes box – no default validation, bad for analysis Calculated field
Must provide equation for calculation Use previously defined variables or constants
Multiple choice – only one answer Radio buttons Drop down list
Checkboxes (more than one answer) – REDCap creates dummy variables for you Yes/No True/False Slider/Visual Analog Scale File upload Descriptive text Section header (must have at least one variable after header before section can be
added) *not an option for the first variable on a form
![Page 7: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VALIDATION (TEXT BOX) Date
Validation (date) allows for calendar to pop up and makes sure date is entered in usable format Use pop up calendar to choose date or enter with keyboard Different date format options
If possibility for missing information (e.g., day), consider entering day, month, and year separately instead of date
Number/Integer Add ranges - warns if outside range, but still allows it
Others Date/time Date/time with seconds Email Phone Time Zip
![Page 8: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FIELD OPTIONS
“Identifier” – tags variables with protected health information for exporting de-identified data (dates are automatically tagged)
“Required” – prompts data entry person not to leave something missing, but does not actually “require” it
![Page 9: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BRANCHING LOGIC
For fields that should only be asked at certain times Convenience to data entry person No difference in branching missing vs. left intentionally
blank Advanced vs. Drag-N-Drop Branching can use variables from separate forms (*NEW
feature*)
![Page 10: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TIPS WHEN CREATING FORMS Drag and drop to reorder Copy/edit to make quick copies of similar variables
Note that when “copy” is used, the variable name is generated and may need be changed
Use Data Export Tool to export data dictionary to Excel file to make changes and then upload new data dictionary
Multiple choice options creates numeric values for options “behind the scenes” Always starts at 1 and increases Can force values you want Be consistent!!
Print CRFs after creating database to have a “hard copy”
![Page 11: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BEWARE
Cannot specify significant figures to enter Cannot force entering data in certain units (kgs, lbs)
Add a field note to remind the data entry person Calculations will remain missing if any of the variables
used to create it are missing Creating adverse event forms
![Page 12: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LONGITUDINAL STUDIES
Define events If you use the same # days offset (1,1,1, etc), events will be
alphabetized Create arms if necessary (different schedule of events)
Designate forms for events
![Page 13: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SCHEDULING
Must have checked “Enable Scheduling Module” under “Project Settings” (Control Panel to change)
Scheduling Generate schedule for each patient based on events Modify/add visits as needed Can print for records
Calendar tool Add other events – per patient or in general Agenda (upcoming for all patients)
![Page 14: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DATA EXPORT/IMPORT Export
“Simple” takes all variables “Advanced”
Choose forms/variables to export De-identification options
Citation notice Software – need to download all files provided
Excel, SPSS, SAS , R, STATA
Data import Data must be in same format as REDCap database Won’t create variables – only import data into existing
variables **This is different from the data dictionary upload which will
create variables**
![Page 15: REDC AP R ESEARCH E LECTRONIC D ATA C APTURE Amy Wahlquist February 2, 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071806/56649cfa5503460f949cc194/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OTHER TOOLS
Data comparison tool Logging File repository User rights – be careful with default options (especially
exporting rights) Data access groups – limits access to database records
Graphical view and stats – quick and dirty view Data quality Report builder

PRODUCTION STATUS
Request through “Project Setup” https://sctr.musc.edu/ Request Service through SPARK After in “production” - changes are not “live” until
submitted for approval (use draft mode)
