Registration has closed.

Prerequisite: De-identifying Human Subject Data for Sharing or reviewing our online resources. 

This class builds upon the introduction to privacy protection class, as a next step toward applying techniques for de-identifying several types of personal and health identifiers. We work through case examples and anonymization methods at an "intermediate" level suitable for preparing data for external collaborations and restricted access research databases. We also discuss the more common advanced statistical techniques for anonymization and risk assessment and their use cases, as well as current software options. Note: if you attended our de-identification webinar in prior years, reviewing our online module and guide can prepare you for this session.
