Ditching the Double Database - REDCap as a Software Framework for the College Toolbox Project
(2014-09-23) Arenson, Andy
Indiana University has been selected by Glenn Close and her non-profit organization, Bring Change 2 Mind, to be the national site to create a toolbox of activities and events, designed by students for students to end the stigma that people with mental illness often face, and to make college campuses safer and more welcoming places. At the end of the 4-year project, Bring Change 2 Mind will package and market the final toolbox to colleges and universities free of charge. When building a software system that already uses REDCap for data entry or surveys, one can also store any additional data in REDCap, too, instead of having to maintain a separate database. We built the College Toolbox Project (CTP) software system using REDCap as a software framework, leveraging both REDCap's survey capability and REDCap's Application Programming Interface (API). The CTP software system consists of two web applications that integrate with four REDCap projects to enable participating students to give consent, take surveys, and use their student ID card to pick up swag bags.
