✦ Synopsis

The goal of this paper is to explore benefits and costs for the analyses of data from collaborative studies, using the Maternal Phenylketonuria (PKU) Collaborative Study as a backdrop. The benefits discussed included the augmented theoretical context for the research, the complementary skills and knowledge of the investigators, the nature of the variables included in the study, aspects of the samples of participants, and the comparability of procedures across study sites. Costs identified concerned both money and time as well as costs that arise as a result of conflict between factions in the study. One set of analyses of data from the Maternal PKU Collaborative Study was presented, and the utility of collaborative studies for scientific advance was considered.
