Data for: "Effect of malaria intermittent preventive treatment on SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and response to COVID-19 vaccination: longitudinal study nested within a randomised controlled trial"
This dataset contains longitudinal serological data from a study nested within the POPVAC B randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted among school-aged children in Uganda. It includes participant demographics, malaria infection status, and SARS-CoV-2 antibody measurements (spike and nucleocapsid IgG) collected at multiple timepoints before and after COVID-19 vaccination. Data capture exposure to intermittent preventive treatment with dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine or placebo, as well as COVID-19 vaccination status and timing. The dataset supports analyses of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence, antibody responses, and fold changes in relation to malaria chemoprevention and vaccination in a malaria-endemic setting.
Additional Information
Data access is restricted due to ethical conditions associated with the original study. Data will be made available for use in ethically-approved research, subject to a Data Transfer Agreement being arranged with the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit. Applications are assessed by the PI (Professor Alison Elliott) with the POPVAC investigator team, in consultation with the POPVAC steering committee.
