Research with Health Data: Ethical Issues, Risk Mitigation, and Data Management Practices

Health data offers immense potential for advancing medical research, but it also raises pressing ethical questions. This lecture and the following workshop explore the complex landscape of working with health-related data, from informed consent and data anonymization to governance challenges and cross-border sharing. Participants will gain practical insights into identifying ethical risks, applying mitigation strategies, and implementing responsible data management practices. Designed for researchers and data stewards, this session bridges theory and practice to foster ethically sound research with health data.
