T1 - Protecting Privacy of Pregnant and LGBTQ+ Research Participants PY - 2024 Y1 - 2024/05/14 DO - 10.1001/jama.2024.4837 JO - JAMA JA - JAMA VL - 331 IS - 18 SP - 1527 EP - 1528 SN - 0098-7484 AB - Research using data from large numbers of people aggregated from numerous institutions is essential to understand and address the causes of health disparities affecting pregnant and LGBTQ+ individuals. Yet some people in politically vulnerable groups like these worry that data about them used for research can subject them to prosecution. Pregnant women have long been both excluded from research and prosecuted for their behavior during pregnancy, the latter risk now magnified for those living in abortion-restrictive states. Laws limiting and even criminalizing the actions of LGBTQ+ individuals and their access to health care may increase personal risk from use of data about them in research.
