Registration Page
Registration is required to download data or to perform
on-line bivariate or multivariate analysis. Registration is free.
The information you provide as part of the registration process is
not shared with any one else. We have made every effort to remove
information from the data files that would permit the identification
of individual respondents. However, because of the extensive and,
in some cases, sensitive content of these data sets, and because we
have promised to preserve the confidentiality of our information,
we are asking researchers who receive data to agree to specific conditions
of use. Failure to abide by the below stated restrictions will result
in a prohibition against future receipt of any CDHA data. By completing
this registration you are agreeing that:
No attempt will be made by users of the files to identify
individual respondents.
No fees may be charged for use or distribution of the data.
No files may be duplicated (excepting backup copies), distributed,
or made available to any third party other than staff or students
for whom you are directly responsible. Please direct those interested
to this site for registration and download.
Others will not be allowed to use your username or password to access
this site.
Any downloaded public release data files as well as any data files
derived from the downloaded files will be destroyed when requested
to do so.
Federal rule 45 CFR 46.101(b)(1-6) exempts research using existing
secondary data from human subjects review. However, the University of
Wisconsin - Madison may require that faculty, staff and students who
anticipate using these data for research purposes submit a human subjects
protocol. Other universities and institutions that receive federal research
funds may have similar requirements. Additional information on federal
human subjects regulations and on UW requirements, please consult
www.ls.wisc.edu/oros/HumanSubjects/HumSub_Guides.htm
and

Any disclosure of study participant identity as well as any flaws
or errors in the data or documentation files will be reported immediately
to cdhadata@ssc.wisc.edu
