N2  - This paper provides insight into how restricted data can be incorporated in an open-be-default-by-design digital infrastructure for scientific data. We focus, in particular, on the ethical component of FAIRER (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Ethical, and Reproducible) data, and the pseudo-anonymization and anonymization of COVID-19 datasets to protect personally identifiable information (PII). First we consider the need for the customisation of the existing privacy preservation techniques in the context of rapid production, integration, sharing and analysis of COVID-19 data. Second, the methods for the pseudo-anonymization of direct identification variables are discussed. We also discuss different pseudo-IDs of the same person for multi-domain and multi-organization. Essentially, pseudo-anonymization and its encrypted domain specific IDs are used to successfully match data later, if required and permitted, as well as to restore the true ID (and authenticity) in individual cases of a patient's clarification.Third, we discuss application of statistical disclosure control (SDC) techniques to COVID-19 disease data. To assess and limit the risk of re-identification of individual persons in COVID-19 datasets (that are often enriched with other covariates like age, gender, nationality, etc.) to acceptable levels, the risk of successful re-identification by a combination of attribute values must be assessed and controlled. This is done using statistical disclosure control for anonymization of data. Lastly, we discuss the limitations of the proposed techniques and provide general guidelines on using disclosure risks to decide on appropriate modes for data sharing to preserve the privacy of the individuals in the datasets.

T1  - COVID-19 Questionnaires, Surveys, and Item-Banks: Overview of Clinical- and Population-Based Instruments
JF  - SSRN
N2  - New COVID-19 related instruments are being rapidly developed around the world to collect patient- and population-based information. Heterogeneity between instruments limits comparability of results. The present study provides an overview of instruments and resources. We scoped the content domain on a selection of instruments using the Maelstrom taxonomy. Content of the instruments varied widely, from proximal measures (e.g., clinical symptoms, comorbidities, etc.) to distal measures such as political attitudes. We recommend that researchers reuse existing instruments to the greatest extent possible, and that they make results openly available in machine-readable format to facilitate reuse and maximize comparability of results across studies and countries.
