Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement: | |
Plan to Share IPD: | Yes |
Plan Description: | Two years after completion of the data collection, the individual participant data (IPD) data sets will become publicly available to other investigators who have specific research questions that can be addressed by the data and that are not already under analysis by the core research team. Researchers who desire to have access to the clinical specimens will be requested to apply for the specimens and to describe the research question(s) they plan to address. |
Supporting Materials: |
Study Protocol Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) Informed Consent Form (ICF) Clinical Study Report (CSR) |
Time Frame: | The study protocol will be submitted for publication prior to initiation of Phase 2. The statistical analysis plans for Phases 1 and 2 will be publicly available prior to the start of the respective analyses. The informed consent documents will be available (in English and Afaan Oromo) after approval by the respective institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at the University of California Davis (UC Davis) and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI). The clinical study report will become available once accepted for publication. |
