- Participant ID: this field is required. This field allows for alphanumeric entries. It is recommended that new CAMH studies on-boarded through LabKey follow the KCNI and NIP formats for proper integration with other NIP platforms. A full guide for Participant IDs (LabKey Participant IDs) can be found here.
- It is recommended users name their Participant Codes numerically (starting at 00000001 and incrementing as necessary).
- Any Participant ID that does not following the NIP naming convention will be assigned a new Study Participant ID that conforms to the NIP naming convention. The non-NIP ID entered will be listed as the Study Participant ID. See the Edit Participants section for further details on Study Participant IDs. Both IDs will be stored in LabKey for cross-referencing purposes.
- Clinic: this field is required. Users will select the proper KCNI site code where the participants were recruited (for human participants) or collected (for animal participants) from a dropdown list. An external link to shows the full name and location of the three-letter site code for reference.
- Sex: this field is recommended as it can be used for quality control purposes in genetic studies. However, study teams must ensure they have REB approval to collect and share this information with research personnel involved in the collection and analysis of the samples. Users will select the proper sex designation as outlined in the CAMH patient intake form from a dropdown list. For participants where sex was not entered or is irrelevant for the study’s purpose, it is recommended to mark the field as Unknown/Prefer not to answer.
