Dr. Lewis is cоnducting а study оn the impаct оf neighborhood environments on аdolescent behavior. The research involves interviews with teenagers living in different neighborhoods, asking about their experiences with local crime, peer relationships, and community support. The interviews are designed to be anonymous, meaning the participants’ identities should not be revealed in the published research. However, Dr. Lewis made an oversight when collecting the data. During one of the interviews, the teenager Maria discussed specific experiences with local gangs in her neighborhood, including mentioning the names of individuals involved in these activities. In an attempt to follow up on the conversation, Dr. Lewis wrote down Maria’s full name and address in his notes, along with the sensitive information shared. These notes are not properly stored or anonymized. Several months later, Dr. Lewis presented his research findings at a conference. In his presentation, he included quotes from the interviews that indirectly identified Maria by referencing the specific neighborhood she lives in and the type of activities discussed without adequately disguising the identifying details. Additionally, in his written research paper, Dr. Lewis accidentally included Maria’s full name in one of the appendices, failing to delete or anonymize it before submission.
