Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will not share
De-identified IPD data will not be made available due to the following key reasons. First, the possibility of re-identification of participants if IPD were shared is more than minimal given the small sample size and community-based recruitment. Participants have expressed heightened concerns about data security, and thus the study team will take efforts to protect participants by restricting access to their IPD. Secondly, data-sharing de-identified IPD is not included in the study's consent form, and re-consenting enrolled participants with this added stipulation would not be feasible.
