Harmonization Study Design
A harmonised dataset can be created for each wave and population according to the ATHLOS DataSchema and the harmonisation codes located on Github:
DataSchema: https://athlos.pssjd.org/ws/file-dl/network/athlos/DataSchema_ATHLOS.xlsx
Harmonisation codes: https://github.com/athlosproject/athlos-project.github.io/tree/master/HAPIEE
Please contact us if anyone is interested in harmonising HAPIEE study data via the ATHLOS DataSchema.
An electronic copy of all accepted manuscripts or details of confirmed conference presentations are to be provided to the HAPIEE centres.
