News
8/3/2010: We are currently in the process of collecting MAYSIWARE data from sites in order to conduct the first MAYSI research studies, using MAYSIWARE data. We have approval to do so through the research office at UMass Medical School. We will be asking sites to send us their exported MAYSIWARE data in SPSS files (MAYSIWARE strips identifiers when the data is exported). If your site is willing to share data with us, please contact us at nysap@umassmed.edu. We appreciate your participation in our effort to continue researching the MAYSI!
