Strengthening Science to Inform Public Health Policy: Overcoming Barriers to Sharing Research Data in Africa: A Workshop

Completed

Sharing research data on public health issues can promote expanded scientific inquiry and has the potential to advance improvements in public health. Although sharing data is the norm in some research fields, such as the social sciences, sharing of data in public health is not as firmly established. This workshop brought together public health researchers and epidemiologists primarily from the African continent, along with selected international experts, to talk about the benefits and challenges of sharing data to improve public health, and to discuss potential actions to guide future work related to public health research data sharing.
