When is a participant "identifiable?"
1/27/2022
A participant is identifiable when the identity of the subject is known or may be readily ascertained by the investigator or associated with the information. In general, information is considered identifiable when it can be linked to specific individuals by the investigator either directly or indirectly through coding systems or when the characteristics of the information gathered are such that a reasonably knowledgeable person could determine the identity of the person.
