Item Analysis of Questionnaires in Healthy Brain Network

Question

  • How semantically similar are clinical questionnaires used to diagnose developmental disorders?

Preliminary Results

Dataset

  • Healthy brains

  • The Child Mind Institute has launched the Healthy Brain Network, an ongoing initiative focused on creating and sharing a biobank comprised of data from 10,000 New York City area children and adolescents (ages 5-21).

  • Population: ages 5-21, children who likely have one or more psychiatric symptoms

  • Data collected:

    • MRI + fMRI: movies (~10 min), predictive eye estimation regression - 3444 participants
    • Phenotypic assessment - 4080 participants
    • Physical activity
    • Behavioral measures (questionnaires)
    • Family structures (stress, trauma)
    • Substance use/addiction
    • Cognition and language tasks
    • Disorder-specific questionnaires
    • Electroencephalography
    • Digital Voice and Video Recordings
    • Genetics
    • Actigraphy
    • Cognitive Tasks (e.g., sequence learning), naturalistic stimuli
    • Eyetracking: pupil dilation and eye position
