Any information obtained in connection with this research project that can identify you will remain confidential and will only be used for the purpose of providing you with your swab result. Your questionnaires will be labelled with a code, date of collection and date of birth only. A listing connecting your name with this code will be stored in a locked cupboard, available only to research staff in the research unit.
Data will be stored indefinitely in accordance with the Melbourne University policy on the management of research data and records. We plan to publish the findings of this study in a medical journal and present them at medical conferences, so that other doctors will understand the results. This will be done in a manner that pools all the results – no individual could be identified
