The data contained in the adjoining file are derived from the Pittsburgh Cold Study 1 (PCS1), a prospective viral challenge study conducted from 1993-1996 among healthy volunteers ages 18-55 (mean 29.1; SD 9.1). PCS1 received primary funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH R01 MH50429, Stress and Susceptibility to Infectious Disease) and secondary funding from a National Institutes of Health grant awarded to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center General Clinical Research Center (NIH 5M01 RR00056). These data are being made available as part of the Common Cold Project, a data aggregation project supported by a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH R01 AT006694-01, Social Ties and Health: Aggregating Data from Five Viral-Challenge Trials). PCS1 study documentation including details of measures used to collect the data and how variables were created can be obtained from the Common Cold Project website (www.cmu.edu/common-cold-project).
