Abstract

The objectives of the Measurement and Analysis Core are to provide across-project assessment of coreconstructs and data management services and statistical expertise to Program Project investigators. Integralto the goals of each project is the measurement of key constructs and the management and analysis ofbehavioral measures of vocalization, behavioral observations, interview, and questionnaire data and oxytocinand other endocrine assays. Data management and analysis activities draw on the considerable resourcesof the Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) at the Frank Porter Graham Child DevelopmentInstitute (FPG) at UNC-CH.
Specific Aims of the Measurement and Analysis Core are to:1) Ensure reliable determinations of complicated behavioral assessments of vocalizations, core'questionnaires and oxytocin and other endocrine hormone levels.2) Develop and maintain data management strategies that process data collected in the common protocoland the individual projects efficiently and accurately;3) Design and maintain integrated databases of project and common protocol data.4) Develop and implement data analysis plans in collaboration with project investigators.
