Fast Track Project Data Center

Measures and Administration History

The Measures and Administration History section contains a searchable catalog of the datasets collected and compiled as part of the Fast Track Project. The measures are listed alphabetically, and arrayed according to the years that each measure was administered to each cohort. The title of each measure links directly to an abstract describing the instrument in terms of its source, variable definitions and response values, scaling procedures, and the characteristics of the resulting scales. The abstract also summarizes the Fast Track Data Center's recommendations for use of these scales in analyzing datasets derived from the measure.

Technical Reports

The measure's abstract page provides a link to the corresponding technical report, which contains a description of the study sample administered this instrument during each year of the study. The technical report also provides a summary analysis comparing the high-risk control group with the normative (low-risk) group. Missing data are also broken down by high-risk control group with the normative (low-risk) group. The analysis includes evaluation of differences between groups, item and scale means and standard deviations, and item and scale correlations.

Data Center
	General Purpose The Fast Track Data Center, serving the entire multi-site Fast Track Project, is located at the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University. The Data Center is responsible for the following: Processing, archiving, and distributing all data collected for the project; creating and archiving aggregate and scored SAS datasets; providing datasets to project researchers; and processing requests from the wider research community for use of Fast Track data. Creating and updating all the necessary documentation for the data, including technical reports for all datasets. Archiving all measures used in the project, as well as the codebooks, manuals, technical reports, and outcome reports created by the project. Disseminating information to national and international researchers via the Fast Track Project website.(continued) Data Collection Conceptual Framework and Measures Sample Description Using the Fast Track Data Catalog Citing Information from the Fast Track Project Requesting and Using Fast Track Data Funding for the Fast Track Project	Measures and Administration History The Measures and Administration History section contains a searchable catalog of the datasets collected and compiled as part of the Fast Track Project.
