There's nothing to be conflicted about. Science absolutely requires replication studies which obviously can't be done if you keep how you did your study Secret



I'd need to look into it more but on the surface I tend to agree with you

The scientific method isn't "proprietary" IMO

Of course, take the names off. Done.


Names aren't the only protected PHI per HIPAA. It's sometimes impossible to create a truly de-identified or partially de-identified dataset, given the characteristics of a community and specifics around how widespread a disease/condition may be.

I guess I need to look into what specifically they want to make more public. The articles I read weren't specific. What exactly is protected by HIPPA?

There's only one question. Is any evidence that the EPA will require identifying information in violation of hipaa to comply with this policy?

My guess is there isn't and this is your typical histrionics

Under the proposed policy, the agency would no longer consider scientific research unless the underlying raw data can be made public for other scientists and industry groups to examine


As usual, reality conflicts with your bias.

Yes - the underlying policy requires the release of raw data.

If you are against something it is an excellent barometer to know that the policy is probably great and an absolute necessity.

If academics were to turn over the raw data to be made available for public review, the agency would have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, according to a federal estimate, to redact private information.


Even the NYT article doesn’t jive with her argument here.

It's not always possible to fully de-identify (or even partially de-identify) a dataset in such a way that study participants could not be identified. Think small affected populations, or studies where specific geographic locations are important for analysis.

So, again, yes.

Pruitt has an agenda, though, and it’s not to protect the environment, although that’s pretty much his job description.

False. Even in N=1 studies you can achieve this. You are simply lying because you're a liberal shill and you don't like Pruitt.

Privately funded research and data should remain private.

"The proposed new policy — the details of which are still being worked out "

So once again you have no clue what you're talking about. You are making claims without any basis. Shocker.

Not and fulfill the requirements that the data be preserved in such a way as to allow for replication - as the order directs re: accepting studies as 'valid'.

That's why we have IRB boards and data use agreements and so many other things to safeguard subjects' data.
