  8. What is Autism? • Neurological disorder that affects children • Onset → before 3 years of age • Characterized by abnormal social, communicative, and behavioral functioning

  9. What is Autism?

  11. Introduction to databases • What is a database? • a collection of data, typically describing the activities of one or more related organizations • Example database • Students → names, student id number, gpa • Enrolled → classes, grade, student id number

  12. Intro to databases (cont.) Students Enrolled

  13. Intro to databases (cont.) • Keys • Primary key → attribute(s) whose value uniquely identifies an entity in the set • Foreign key → a connection between two tables • Example • Primary keys • s_id for students table • class_id and s_id for enrolled table • Foreign key • s_id connects both tables

  14. Intro to databases (cont.) Students foreign key Enrolled

  16. My project • Develop a database with a web-front end to assist in the collection of questionnaire data for researchers dealing with autism

  17. Creation of Database • Used PostgreSQL • 1st step → create tables • 2nd step → establish keys • 3rd step → enter data

  18. Tables • forms → form_id (pk) • questions → question_id (pk) • participant_answers → set_id, question_id, cat_id (pk) • Many others

  19. Preview Table – “forms”

  20. Outline • Where I worked → My project • Purpose of project • Background on Autism • Introduction to databases • Database creation • Web-based • Future direction

  21. Web-page • Used PHP for design • Setup • Login for data entry person • Choose parent, stage, and form • Input answers for each form • Website • http://aatillet.lifeofram.com/index2.php

  22. Outline • Where I worked → My project • Purpose of project • Background on Autism • Introduction to databases • Database creation • Web-based • Future direction

  23. Future direction • Check between two data entry people • Retrieve data from database • Perform statistical analysis on data • Allow parents to take survey online • Use design of website and database for other projects
