Creating Groups

Creating groups is the first step in setting up data collection. There are two group structure pathways to choose from based on data collection and/or participant recruitment methodology (Cohort OR School/Class). The top level designation is “Site” which is assigned to research teams by the Data Coordinating Center (DCC). Please contact the DCC to obtain a “Site” designation.

Decide on group structure

cohort - grouping classification for non-school based data collection

school - grouping classification for school-based data collection

class - sub-group used with school-based data collection (must create a school first) and teacher survey assignments
