Because this research data was collected through confidentiality agreements with our subjects, access to this data set is restricted.

We do give access to selected researchers as long as they agree to the following conditions.

• Read, copy and edit the letter below and email it to me.
• If you are a student or research assistant, I also need a copy of this note forwarded by your supervisor saying that they understand these conditions as well.

After I receive these, I will send you a URL for the data set.
