: Data sharing enables researchers to conduct novel research with previously collected datasets, thus maximising scientific findings and cost effectiveness, reducing waste. The value of sharing, even de-identified, quantitative data from clinical trials is well recognised a moderated access approach recommended. While substantial challenges remain, there are additional for qualitative in trials. Incorporating the necessary information about how will be shared into already complex trial...
