C-TOR Study Data Availability

A key factor in gaining the participation of 272 sites and the approval of 73 independent ethics committees was a commitment to make the full data set available to those who would use it appropriately.

In order to protect the privacy of the individuals who participated in the study, an anonymised data set was created. This anonymisation was completed in such a manner as to minimise the impact on the detail and reproducibility of the available data set compared to the original data set.

Notwithstanding the anonymisation process, the data set is only made available via an application process. If you wish to use the data set as mentioned above, please fill in the Data Request Form below to confirm that you agree with the conditions of use of the data set and submit it. Authorised applicants will be given a single use key that enables them to download the data set.

By ticking the box below and submitting the Data Request Form, you agree in particular (i) not to share the data set with parties other than those directly involved in the research purposes declared in the Data Request Form and (ii) to cite the source of the data.
