+# {{project_name}}
+
+This is the code and configuration for {{project_name}}
+
+* The paper is [here]()
+* Raw model outputs, including charts, crosstabs, etc, are in `released_outputs/`
+* If you are interested in how we defined our variables, take a look at the [study definition](analysis/study_definition.py); this is written in `python`, but non-programmers should be able to understand what is going on there
+* If you are interested in how we defined our code lists, look in the [codelists folder](./codelists/).
+* Developers and epidemiologists interested in the framework should review [the OpenSAFELY documentation](https://docs.opensafely.org)
+
+# About the OpenSAFELY framework
+
+The OpenSAFELY framework is a secure analytics platform for
+electronic health records research in the NHS.
+
+Instead of requesting access for slices of patient data and
+transporting them elsewhere for analysis, the framework supports
+developing analytics against dummy data, and then running against the
+real data *within the same infrastructure that the data is stored*.
+Read more at [OpenSAFELY.org](https://opensafely.org).
