Confidentiality Toolkit
This toolkit provides guidance to protect participant confidentiality in human services research and evaluation, including legal frameworks, risk assessment strategies, and best practices.
Comprehensive guidance for safeguarding participant confidentiality in human services research and evaluation, particularly for projects funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
It covers applicable legal and ethical frameworks (FERPA, HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2), outlines key steps for identifying and mitigating disclosure risks, and provides tools such as checklists, flowcharts, and real-world scenarios. The toolkit is designed to help federal staff, contractors, and evaluators implement consistent, privacy-conscious data handling practices across the evaluation lifecycle.
