Data availability statement
Many journals ask for a ”data availability statement” upon publication. The following text suggestion can be used regarding the availability of individual-level data.
"Access to individual-level data can be provided for research purposes but is restricted by laws regarding the privacy of research participants and are therefore not made publicly available. Requests for data can be sent to the Biobank Research Unit at Umeå University (contact:ebf@umu.se )."
