Use and disclosure of information for research purposes

Information about you and your health is personal and private and generally cannot be used in a research study without your authorization. 

If you agree to participate in the project, you will provide that authorization. But if you do not, you will not be able to participate in this research study.

Please note that researchers will not be able to access any of your identifiable data.  They will only be able to use a research dataset where your name and other identifiable information has been removed - known as de-identified or anonymised data.
