It governs such matters as subject rights, informed consent, Institutional Review Boards, disclosure policy, recordkeeping, and a variety of other matters.

Privacy and Health Research. Reasons for Retaining Identifiability

For many purposes researchers must keep the ability to trace back, even if through intermediaries, to the data-subjects. Irreversible anonymization is not necessarily desirable. There are a number of important reasons why retaining personal identifiability—either openly labelled or via key-coding—may be essential:

Privacy and Health Research. Research to Make Effective Innovations

A prime example of innovation is the elaborate work of developing and improving the use of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic instruments and tests, vaccines, and other "tools" of health care. 53 After much preliminary screening, an experimental entity or procedure is subjected to a long series of clinical trials , perhaps on tens of

Privacy and Health Research. Research to Reduce Public-Health Threats

Whether or not they are to be considered "research," a classic category of investigations have to do with coping with disease outbreaks and epidemics, and with other emerging or emergency threats.

Privacy and Health Research. The Universe of Health Data

So many kinds of health data are collected that it would be distracting and soporific to do more here than take note of the major categories. But it is essential to recognize: (a) that great research power resides in a diversity of health data, and (b) that privacy issues surround many kinds of data beyond those in primary medical records.

Moving People from Welfare to Work. Lessons from the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies.. Costs Relative to Benefits: What is the government's financial return on its investment in welfare-to-work programs?

The programs' five-year benefits were also calculated in NEWWS. Benefits included the increases in earnings and decreases in welfare and food stamp payments discussed earlier, as well as dollar valuations of the programs' estimated effects on Medicaid, job fringe benefits, taxes paid, and the costs of administering transfer programs such as food s

Toward Understanding Homelessness: The 2007 National Symposium on Homelessness Research. Homeless Youth in the United States: Recent Research Findings and Intervention Approaches. Theoretical Developments

Haber and Toro (2004) provide a thorough review of various theories that have been applied in recent research on homeless children and youth. The theories most relevant to homeless youth include variants based on social learning theory (Bandura, 1977; Patterson, 1982).

Many homeless youth report a history of out-of-home care placement. The percentage who report being placed in foster care or an institutional setting varies across studies, but estimates range between 21 and 53 percent (Cauce et al., 1998; Robertson, 1989, 1991; Toro & Goldstein, 2000). A similar pattern has been observed among homeless adults

A number of studies have found not only that many homeless youth are sexually active, but also that they engage in sexual behaviors that put them at high risk for both sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy (Cauce et al., 1994; Kipke et al., 1995; Lombardo & Toro, 2004; Rotheram-Borus, 1991; Rotheram-Borus et al., 1992a, 1992b; Staller &a

Income: How can welfare-to-work programs increase

Moving People from Welfare to Work. Lessons from the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies.. Income: How can welfare-to-work programs increase family resources?

The administrators of all the welfare-to-work programs studied in NEWWS hoped that their programs' preemployment services, mandates, and messages would enable welfare recipients eventually to increase their income and move out of poverty, but their relative emphasis on and methods of achieving this goal differed. The education-focused programs emp
