Contributing data
Members of the schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases (STHs) research community are invited to contribute data. By standardising and aggregating this we can maximise the use of available data, increase the statistical power of analyses and optimise the efficiency of research-driven responses to improve patient outcomes.
