The Harmony team is working on Harmony Discovery, which will allow social scientists to find datasets about Schizophrenia and Psychosis across data platforms. Harmony Discovery is due in 2025 and will extend the functionality of Harmony.
There is a wealth of information available to researchers in the field of mental health but finding the right dataset to match their specific needs can be challenging. That’s where Harmony Discovery, a tool which catalogues datasets from multiple sources, comes in. This blog post explains how researchers can use this tool to find valuable datasets on Schizophrenia and Psychosis.
Harmony Discovery aids researchers in discovering datasets about longitudinal studies by various topics. With the help of advanced language models, it matches questionnaire items and variable names to user queries, enabling an easy and quick dataset discovery. Harmony is connected to multiple data sources, including UKLLC, Closer, the Catalogue of Mental Health Measures, HDR UK and ADR UK, to offer a broad and comprehensive range of datasets.
For those studying Schizophrenia and Psychosis, Harmony Discovery proves to be an exceptional resource. Multiple datasets related to these areas of study have been catalogued from various sources. For example:
National Audit of Psychosis - Audit on Early Intervention in Psychosis services - patient experience survey: This dataset delves into the patient experience survey. It was last updated on 2024-02-29.
National Audit of Psychosis - Audit on Early Intervention in Psychosis services - case note audit: This dataset contains information about patients attending Early Intervention Psychosis (EIP) services, sampled over one year. It includes whether individuals received interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp) or physical health screening. It was last updated on 2024-02-29.
National Audit of Psychosis - Audit on Early Intervention in Psychosis services - contextual data: This dataset contains organizational survey data on the organization of EIP services, staffing, caseload, and the types of data collected. This dataset was last updated on 2023-07-27.
The quest for data doesn’t have to be daunting. With the help of Harmony Discovery, researchers can now locate the relevant datasets they need, specifically targeted for their area of expertise. If you’re a researcher focused on Schizophrenia and Psychosis, Harmony Discovery could be a pivotal tool in assisting your work and propelling your studies forward.
