Hard copies of data documents will be securely stored in locked cabinets in the university and will contain participant IDs but no identifying information. A document linking participant IDs with participants’ identifying information will be stored on a password-protected computer file on the host university’s computer server. The project data will be stored securely for 10 years, in line with the data management policy at the university; only members of the research team will be able to access the paper data. A fully anonymised data set, statistical code and all study materials will be made publicly available on the Open Science Framework.
