This dataset contains demographic characteristics and laboratory results of 212 study participants who participated in a study on Cervicovaginal immune activation in Zambian women with female genital schistosomiasis. Each row refers to a study participant with a unique study ID number. Data can be shared for the purpose of ethically approved health research, on condition that relevant parties comply with data security conditions and other requirements associated with the research study.
Names and other direct identifiers have been removed prior to submission. Participant age and other information that may be used to identify participants in combination with other data has been placed into broad categories to reduce the disclosure risk. However, there remain a number of unique measurements. Data may only be shared for use in health research, where ethical approval for the work has been obtained.
The following table outlines variables contained within the dataset. However, it may not be feasible to provide access to variables in some circumstances, where there is a recognised disclosure risk. Please list the specific variables that you wish to analyse when requesting data.
