• Explore the types and volumes of data available on the platform using the regularly updated WWARN Malaria Data Inventory (clicking on this link will commence download of an inventory excel file)
• Follow the detailed directions on how to access data.

Malaria data is available in two different formats, depending on when the data was shared with WWARN. This is identified as either Mapper format (legacy pre-2018 data format) or SDTM format in the Data Inventory. Mapper data is described by the WWARN Data Dictionary  and SDTM data is described by the IDDO SDTM Implementation Manual, both of which are freely available to use as a reference guide for understanding the data variables listed in data files stored in the WWARN Malaria Data Inventory. This file is subject to change, please check back closer to the time of your analysis to ensure you’ve downloaded the latest version of the file.  

Please keep in mind the following important considerations when reviewing the WWARN Data Dictionary and the IDDO SDTM Implementation Manual:

• Not every study contributed to WWARN collected all the variables described in these documents;
• In a publication, Data Contributors may have reported collecting data listed in these documents, but may not have shared those variables with WWARN;
• We will let you know after receiving your request if your selected data requires curation and the time this is expected to take.
