Data Dictionaries

  • Updated

The All of Us Curated Data Repository (CDR) Data Dictionaries provide a detailed description of all metadata for the data tables that are used to populate the Registered Tier and Controlled Tier datasets in the All of Us Researcher Workbench.

The data dictionaries include the standard Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) tables for participant provided information (PPI) via surveys, physical measurements, and electronic health records (EHRs) as well as the custom created tables for wearables and genomics.

All of Us Data Collections in Researcher Workbench 2.0

The All of Us CDR is listed as a 'data collection' in the new Researcher Workbench 2.0. There are currently two All of Us data collections available in the new Researcher Workbench 2.0: CDRv8 “All of Us Registered Tier” and “All of Us Controlled Tier.” Below is a list of resources available under each All of Us Data Collection for researcher use.

R_V8_R2_offcycle_mhwb Registered Tier Mental Health and Well-Being v8 Off-Cycle This is the reference resource to the v8 Registered Tier Emotional Health History and Well-Being and Behavioral Health and Personality survey data.

*Note: An incremental data release was deployed to the legacy Workbench to update the v8 CDR from 2024Q3R8 to 2024Q3R9. This update fixes an issue affecting two Fitbit tables: activity_summary and sleep_daily_summary. However, the updated CDR version is not yet ready for release in Researcher Workbench 2.0. If you are using the new workbench, please add either R2024Q3R8 or C2024Q3R8, to your workspace. We will update the v8 CDR version in Researcher Workbench 2.0 soon. 

Past CDRs

The past CDR list includes previous versions of current CDRs replaced because of incremental data releases (IDRs) by our curation team. For information about past IDRs, read “Announcements.”
