Chunk #132 — III. Selected Methodological Issues — D. Ethical issues in high density genotyping of individuals who are selected due to self-reported illegal behaviors
Our laboratory, along with most other laboratories that work in this field, has established elaborate means of coding, providing physical protections and providing electronic protections for the electronic and paper records that might identify our research volunteers. Subjects are protected by confidentiality certificates obtained through the Department of Health and Human Services. Data from these studies is analyzed and reported in ways that do not identify individual subjects.
