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.

Current CDRs

The current CDR list includes all the CDRs currently accessible on the Researcher Workbench.

Per the Data and Research Center's (DRC) data management and retention policy, only the three most recent CDR versions will be available in the Researcher Workbench at any given time. As each new CDR is released, the oldest version will be deprecated.

All of Us Data in the Researcher Workbench

The All of Us CDR is listed as a 'data collection' in the Researcher Workbench. There are currently two All of Us data collections available in the new Researcher Workbench - “All of Us Registered Tier” and “All of Us Controlled Tier.” Reference resources are the file path location of the CDRs as listed in the workbench, and the reference you should use when attempting to query the CDR in your workspace. 

For known issues related to the Data Explorer, please see release notes here

Below is a list of resources available under each All of Us Data Collection for researcher use.
