Frequently asked questions about study participation and data management
What Happens To My Data?
By using the application as part of your standard clinical care:
Your treatment team (ie. doctor, therapist, clinic administrators) will see your identifiable mental health data (ie. your name and other information that can identify you). This is part of standard Early Psychosis care.
Your treatment team can export your identifiable mental health data from the application. They may do this to support your treatment or provide required reports to groups that oversee and fund your clinic (e.g., county mental health department, private insurance). Your treatment team is responsible to protect your data once it is exported from the application. This is described by HIPAA guidelines and your clinic treatment agreement.
The UC Davis staff who manage Beehive will have access to my de-identified mental health data in order to support application development and management.
They will not see my name or any other information that could directly identify me. They will see my zip code and month/year of birth. All of my data will be linked to a unique identification number (ID). My unique ID will not contain any information that could identify me. My unique ID will not be connected to my name.
This data will only be used as part of Beehive management. For example: to provide technical support to me and my clinic, and/or improve Beehive.
You may also choose to share your data outside of your Early Psychosis Clinic as part of research efforts to improve Early Psychosis care for others in California and across the United States. You can change these permissions at any time. You can also ask researchers to delete your data.
