Meeting Summary
EPA contacted Jennifer Madans at the CDC to discuss HIPAA and data de-identification issues as it relates to the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health Study.  Dr. Madans indicated there are some datasets that cannot be deidentified given the nature of the data and specified that geographic location is one of the variables that makes something highly identifiable.  Dr. Madans noted that for those cases, there is the possibility of allowing the data to be viewed in a secure data center.
