This paper reviews the confidentiality policies of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It relates these both to the 1974 Privacy Act and to the needs of users of health statistics. The four major issues considered in the paper are: (1) the implications of present confidentiality laws with respect to NCHS, (2) the issue of gaining informed consent in telephone interviews, (3) questions concerning the release of NCHS information on public use data tapes, (4) the implications for NCHS policies of the recently proposed legislation on the confidentiality of federal statistical records.
本文回顾了美国国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）的保密政策。它将这些政策与1974年的《隐私法》以及卫生统计数据用户的需求联系起来。本文所考虑的四个主要问题是：（1）现行保密法律对NCHS的影响，（2）电话访谈中获得知情同意的问题，（3）关于在公共使用数据磁带上发布NCHS信息的问题，（4）最近提出的关于联邦统计记录保密的立法对NCHS政策的影响。
