Abstract

Zelina Pose*

Researchers and practitioners in biostatistics must adhere to strict guidelines and regulations to maintain data privacy. This involves implementing various measures, such as data anonymization, encryption, and access controls, to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Additionally, obtaining informed consent from study participants and ensuring secure data storage and transmission are crucial components of maintaining data privacy in biostatistics research.
