John Allotey
Data Assistant

Thank you for your outstanding contribution and for all your hard work on
the PREP study. We have had the involvement of 51 hospitals and their research teams who recruited more than one thousand women to the study.
We had very little losses to follow up and are extremely pleased to announce
that data entry and data cleaning for the PREP study is now complete! It
would not have been possible without your much appreciated hard work and
co-operation. Thank you especially for helping us with the final stages of data
querying for the PREP follow-up forms and close-out calls.
