Data Use Agreement

ThreadMed-QA contains multi-turn medical question-and-answer threads collected
from the public r/AskDocs subreddit. Although all Reddit usernames, post/comment
identifiers, and timestamps have been removed and replaced with anonymized
THREAD_XXX identifiers, the underlying free text can still contain sensitive
personal health information. By requesting access you agree to the following:

1. Research use only. You will use the dataset solely for non-commercial
   academic research or education.
2. No re-identification. You will not attempt to link records back to any
   individual, account, or original Reddit post, including via search engines
   or scraping.
3. No clinical use. You will not use this dataset (or models trained on it)
   to provide, augment, or automate clinical decision-making, diagnosis, or
   treatment for real patients.
4. No redistribution. You will not redistribute the raw data. You may share
   derived artifacts (e.g. model outputs, aggregate statistics, filtered
   subsets substantially transformed for a downstream study) under the same
   terms.
5. Ethics approval. You confirm that your intended use has been reviewed
   by your institution's IRB / ethics board or is exempt under its policies.
6. Removal on request. If a specific thread is flagged for removal by the
   original poster, the maintainers may remove it from future releases; you
   will delete any local copies of removed threads within 30 days of being
   notified.

Requests are reviewed manually; please allow up to 7 days.
