Public Acceptability of Data Sharing Between the Public, Private and Third Sectors for Research Purposes

It focuses particularly on a) the public's opinion about data sharing with the private and third sector; b) the acceptability of different methods for sharing benefits gained from the use of their data; and c) the appeal of different methods for empowering citizens in decision making about the use of their data.
