Importantly, BMC is an open-access journal, meaning researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders around the world – including those already collaborating with GenV or seeking to – can freely access and cite the publication.

GenV was the only major longitudinal cohort globally to recruit during a period marked by bushfires, COVID-19, and economic uncertainty. Documenting these conditions offers essential context for interpreting data, understanding participant engagement during that time, and planning for future shocks. As GenV enters its next phase of data access and collaboration, this publication becomes an important resource – laying the groundwork for national and international research partnerships.
