Seattle ALS Patient Profile Database (SALSPPD)
Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository
The Seattle Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Patient Profile Database is a rich longitudinal dataset of ALS patients (n = 143) and their partners (spouses, significant others, or caregivers; n = 123) from clinics in Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA; and Philadelphia, PA.
Description
The purpose of the study was to characterize the psychosocial and physical natural history of ALS and the interactions between them. Participants were interviewed in their homes every 3 months for up to 18 months between March 1987 and August 1989.
Follow-up phone calls were completed in 1990, 1994, and 2008, primarily to ascertain patient outcomes. See ReadMe file for information on usage of the database. Data include information on both exposures and outcomes.
