How do I deposit data in the SAMHDA collection?

SAMHDA considers archiving data that meets the standards established with our funder, the Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. When making a determination to archive data, SAMHDA considers the quality of the research design and methods, the completeness of the data and documentation files, the scope of the study, and the significance of the study to the field.

Prior to a public release, SAMHDA processes the data and documentation files in order to ensure the quality of the public-use file(s), enhances their user friendliness, and resolves any confidentiality issues that may be present.

For New Depositors:

If you would like SAMHDA to consider archiving your data, please send us an inquiry at samhda-support@icpsr.umich.edu. Also, please visit ICPSR's Deposit Data site to view guidelines, instructions, and answers to frequently asked questions about the data deposit process.
