Pooling data from studies on prolonged grief: the Multi-region Archive of Research data on Bereavement and Loss from Empirical Studies (MARBLES) project
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The MARBLES archive demonstrates that it is feasible to build a FAIR archive of PGD symptom data. Although the archive can already be used to study the prevalence, pathogenesis, and predictors of PGD symptoms and associated emotional problems, it is intended as an evolving resource. Its potential will expand as additional datasets are added and use of the archive grows. Future extensions should prioritize the inclusion of underrepresented groups (e.g. migrants) and currently missing social, cognitive, and neurobiological variables.
