Description

The Rare & Developmental (R&D) Disorder toolkit can be used to collect essential phenotypes associated with R&D related research, including: Birth History, Neurodevelopmental History, Epilepsy and System Anomalies. 

Administration

The phenotype protocols contained in the toolkit range from Interviewer/Self-administered questionnaires and clinically-administered assessments. The toolkit is applicable to human participants of all life stages, though some phenotype protocols are age-specific. For more information on administration of the toolkit, see the toolkit guideline.

Resources

The toolkit consists of both existing and novel data collection standards, and was based on several existing resources. These resources are listed below:

  1. H3Africa DDD-Africa Case Report Forms
