De-identifying Human Subjects Data for Sharing

With funders and publishers increasingly asking researchers to share data, protecting the privacy of research participants and patients is particularly challenging. Join JHU Data Services for an overview of common privacy disclosure risks from personal and health identifiers in data. We discuss how to comply with IRB and HIPAA guidance for data security within the research team and introduce techniques for de-identifying data shared with external collaborators and public databases.
