Our Terms of Use

Please read the Terms of Use below. By continuing to use this data, you signify your agreement and intent to follow them.

Promise of Confidentiality

This is a promise to a respondent or research participant that the information they provide will remain confidential. By this, we mean specifically that: 

  • It will not be disseminated in identifiable form without the permission of the respondent. 
  • The fact that the respondent participated in the study will not be disclosed. 
  • Disseminated information will not include linkages to the identity of the respondent.

Such a promise encompasses traditional notions of both confidentiality and anonymity. In most cases, federal law protects the confidentiality of the respondent’s identity. This is referenced in the Promise of Confidentiality. Under this condition, names and other identifying information about respondents would be confidential. 

Research Subjects

A research subject is a person or organization that participates in a research study. A research subject may also be called a respondent. A respondent is generally:

  • A survey respondent or informant
  • An experimental or observational subject 
  • A focus group participant 
  • Any other person providing information to a study 
Privacy of Research Subjects

Any intentional identification of a research subject violates the Promise of Confidentiality. This is true whether an individual or an organization. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information from a subject also violates the Promise. Disclosure of confidential information may also be punishable under federal law. Users of data agree

  • To not use it for re-identification of specific research subjects.
  • To make no use of the identity of any research subject discovered inadvertently.
  • Any such discovery like this should be reported to the point of contact for this dataset
