Hi,
We received an alert regarding the legal basis for the public sharing of this dataset, as it appears to involve information from human research participants, potentially including vulnerable individuals.
Sharing human subjects research data is subject to strict federal regulations (including the Common Rule, 45 CFR Part 46) and potentially health privacy laws like HIPAA.
To ensure adherence to these regulations, we have temporarily disabled access to these datasets pending clarification.
Please provide documentation demonstrating that you have the necessary legal permissions to publicly distribute this data. This should include evidence of:
- Appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval explicitly permitting public sharing of this specific data.
- Valid participant informed consent and/or HIPAA Authorization that specifically allows for this type of public data redistribution.
- If applicable, confirmation that the data meets legal standards for de-identification (e.g., HIPAA standards).
Thank you for your understanding
