Sensitive Data Toolkit for Researchers Part 2: Human Participant Research Data Risk Matrix

The Sensitive Data Expert Group of the Portage Network has create a suite of tools for Canadian researchers. These tools have been created to help researchers understand how research data is involved in the research ethics process, and to address the evolution of research data management (RDM) practices such as data sharing and deposit in the context of existing research ethics frameworks. This tool, the Human Participant Research Data Risk Matrix, is intended to help researchers determine risk level for human participant research data, and make decisions with respect to its management, deposit, and appropriate access/future use.
