In the study, data is collected in paper form or by means of a digital or telephone survey. All potential participants receive a personal code, which only enables the allocation of the data to the Dresden districts (e.g. a person living in Striesen receives the code: ST 0001). In addition, the data collected is pseudonymized by this code, which means that neither your name nor any other information that would allow your identity to be determined is contained in the data set. If you participate in the survey in paper form, this code is already noted in the header of the questionnaire.
As part of your consent to the project, personal identifying data (full first and last name) will be collected on the consent form. These will be sent to the survey office of the study (contact: Dr. med. Daniel Kämpf; Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus of the Dresden University of Technology, Polyclinic for Occupational and Social Medicine, Fetscherstraße 74, 01307 Dresden) and stored with your address provided by the Dresden data registration office. This personal data is kept securely there, or stored electronically, strictly separate from the research data - i.e. the information from the questionnaire. Your contact details are not accessible to the staff of the evaluation center and are only used to contact you in the context of a follow-up survey, if necessary.
The research data is stored with the personal code in the evaluation center (contact: Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Seidler, MPH; Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus of the Dresden University of Technology, Institute for Occupational and Social Medicine, Fetscherstrasse 74, 01307 Dresden). All analyses are performed exclusively with encrypted data to prevent identification of participants. The Institute of Occupational and Social Medicine is responsible for data evaluation and processing in the project as the evaluation center.
All data collected in the study will be used exclusively for scientific purposes. Our cooperation partners from the CDD (i.e. Chair of Work and Organizational Psychology and Chair of Social and Health Buildings) and the state capital Dresden receive anonymous research data for scientific evaluations. The collected data will not be passed on to project externals. After completion of the data collection and evaluation, the completely anonymized data will be used within scientific publications. Your personal data will be stored according to "Good Epidemiological Practice" for 10 years and then destroyed. The data are secured against unauthorized access. All members of the study team are bound to secrecy. The provisions of the Data Protection Act as amended are complied with.
