Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
Yes
What data in particular will be shared?
No individual participant data will be shared. The results of the project will be presented at scientific meetings, and published in peer reviewed scientific literature. Sharing of data generated by this project is an essential part of our proposed activities and will be carried out in several different ways. We plan to make our results available to the community of scientists interested in recently acquired hepatitis C, community organisations representing the affected communities and participants. We also welcome collaboration with others who could make use of data and samples.
