Research

Connecticut permits data from the  “registry of infants exposed to AIDs medication” 1 and birth defect surveillance program to be used for research purposes. 2 Information maintained by the Department of Public Health pursuant to morbidity and mortality studies is confidential and may also be disclosed for research purposes.3

Connecticut allows Insurers to release personal information for research purposes so long as the researcher does not publish identifying information.4
