WIHS Manual of Operations

The WIHS Manual of Operations (MOO) describes the scientific aims of the study; the structure of the WIHS and its operating policies; the roles and responsibilities of entities and individuals; standardized study operation procedures; and data and specimen collection and processing procedures. The WIHS MOO is to be used as a reference document for current and former WIHS policies and procedures. All study procedures within the WIHS must be conducted in accordance with the MOO.
