The DOSMED STUDY - data

These data files were analysed for the 13-year follow-up paper, and have not been edited in any way since then. They are the data entered from the rating schedules, in SPSS .SAV format. 

N.B. This data must NOT be analysed without careful consideration of the schedules used to obtain the data (available on this website). Specifically, the wording and context of the questions asked, both within the schedules, within the setting of the study, and the position of psychiatric clinical science and broader society at the time of the study. Interpretation of this data without considering these factors will probably lack any validity.
