• 54 local people were recruited to write weekly diaries over 18 months to describe their lives
and the recovery they observed around the area
• The study was supplemented with interviews and focus group discussions that included other
stakeholders
• The study obtained consent from participants before the research but did not get consent for
sharing and archiving data
• The research team and the Department of Health wanted to share and archive the data after
the completion of the research.
• Had to get consent retrospectively and needed expert advice from copyright specialists
