Depending on study progress, these bodies may recommend a trial to continue as is, be modified or stopped. Six such reviews were conducted during the implementation of the VOICE study. We describe the impact of Data & Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommendations on continued study participation in Kampala, Uganda, including retention, researchers’ motivation to continue the study, and community perceptions and attitudes about the study.enDSMB OutcomesParticipationHIVUgandaArticle
