Developing a National Data Sharing Statement with CT:IQ InFORMed

About the Event

We’re pleased to announce the 25th meeting of the Australian Sensitive Data Interest Group (AUSDIG). AUSDIG provides an opportunity for anyone interested in discussing the challenges and strategies for managing sensitive data.

This presentation will introduce attendees to the CT:IQ InFORMed project, which is developing a concise, consumer-centred Participant Information Sheet and Consent Form for participation in health and medical research. As part of this project, CT:IQ partnered with the ARDC Health Studies Australian National Data Asset (HeSANDA) program to develop a National Data Sharing Statement. The presentation will canvas some of the key issues that arose in developing this statement, the positions adopted in the beta-testing version, and opportunities to provide feedback.
