Abstract. With technology advances, researchers can now capture data using web-based
applications. One such application, Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap),
allows for data entry from any computer with an Internet connection. As the
use of REDCap has increased in popularity, we have observed the need to easily
create data dictionaries and data collection instruments for REDCap. The
command presented in this article, redcapture, demonstrates one method to
create a REDCap-ready data dictionary using a loaded Stata dataset, illustrated
by examples of starting from an existing dataset or completely starting from
scratch.
