General information
| Question text: | STUDY PROCEDURES
If you decide to take part, this is what will happen: Your Medicare and/or Medicaid numbers will be used to locate your Medicare and/or Medicaid data. Your numbers or other identifiers will then be replaced with a study code, to protect your privacy. This is called “anonymizing” the data. We will use the study code to combine the data with your survey data. These combined files (which will not include any names or other personal identifiers) will be kept in what is known as a “secure enclave” which means a computer that can only be accessed by a few researchers, and only for very specific purposes. Your anonymized data, combined with all other participants, will be used by researchers to create statistics, charts, and publications. If you do not know your Medicare number, we can use the last four digits of your social security number, and/or your name, address, sex, and date of birth, to locate the records. |
