Neurological Outcomes of Sexual Strangulation in Young Adults, 200 Participants

A prospective cohort study of 200 young adult females and a pilot cohort of 40 males investigating the acute and longitudinal neurological effects of sexual strangulation. The dataset includes multimodal assessments such as blood biomarkers, MRI scans, cognitive tests, and mental health evaluations collected over a 30-month period. The study was authored by Keisuke Kawata and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between strangulation frequency and blood-based biomarkers of neural injury and inflammation mentioned in the description
• Model longitudinal changes in brain structure and connectivity over a 30-month follow-up period
• Examine correlations between sexual strangulation exposure and mental health symptom scores
• Characterize contextual factors and consent dynamics through analysis of semi-structured interview data

Strengths

• Prospective longitudinal design with follow-ups every six months over 30 months
• Multimodal assessment strategy including biomarkers, MRI, cognitive testing, and interviews
• Clear group comparison structure with 100 exposed participants and 100 controls

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope or summary-level data
