Data supporting "Does schistosome or malaria exposure contribute to urban-rural differences in vaccine responses in Uganda? A causal mediation analysis using data from three linked randomised controlled trials."

This dataset comprises individual-level data from participants in the POPVAC series of three randomised controlled trials. POPVAC A was conducted among schoolchildren from Koome islands, Uganda (a schistosomiasis-endemic setting), POPVAC B was conducted among schoolchildren from Jinja district, Uganda (a malaria-endemic setting), POPVAC C was conducted among schoolchildren from Entebbe, Uganda (a lower infection prevalence setting).

Additional Information

To access the data, requests must be made to the PI (Professor Alison Elliott). The request will be reviewed by the PI together with the POPVAC investigator team, in consultation with the POPVAC steering committee. The request will be reviewed based on scientific value and to ensure there is no overlap with existing work. If the request is approved, before data is shared, ethics approval will need to be obtained in your host institution and a Data Transfer Agreement with the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit must be completed.
