I very much doubt that the datasets requested will contain useful and representative data on adverse effects of withdrawal. Adherence rates are typically poor in populations with psychotic illness and when participants are lost to follow-up they are generally not traced or traceable.
Further clarification from data holder and/or applicant is needed.
Recommendation for this data request:
Not Approve
