By using geospatial information such as participants' residential history along with external datasets of environmental exposures, ongoing studies can enrich their cohorts to investigate the role of the environment on brain-behavior health outcomes. However, challenges may arise if clear guidance and key quality control steps are not taken at the outset of data collection of residential information. Here, we detail the protocol development aimed at improving the collection of lifetime residential address information from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. This protocol generates a workflow for minimizing gaps in residential information, improving data collection processes, and reducing misclassification error in exposure estimates.
通过使用地理空间信息（如参与者的居住历史）以及环境暴露的外部数据集，正在进行的研究可以丰富他们的队列，以调查环境对大脑-行为健康结果的影响。然而，如果在收集居住信息的一开始没有明确的指导和关键的质量控制步骤，就可能会出现挑战。在这里，我们详细介绍了旨在改进青少年大脑认知发育研究（ABCD 研究）中终生居住地址信息收集的方案制定。该方案生成了一个工作流程，以最大限度地减少居住信息中的空白，改进数据收集过程，并减少暴露估计中的分类错误。
