If the site requires javascript in order to submit the answers (of course there is no reason that it should) you could at least show me something so that I can make an informed decision about whether there is a good reason for me to enable it in my browser. How about this Federal Certificate of Confidentiality: We will do everything we can to keep others from learning about your participation in this study. To further help us protect your privacy, we have obtained a Certificate of Confidentiality from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). With this Certificate, we cannot be forced (for example by court order or subpoena) to disclose information that may identify you in any federal, state, local, civil, criminal, legislative, administrative, or other proceedings. The researchers will use the Certificate to resist any demands for information that would identify you, except to prevent serious harm to you or others, and as explained below. You should understand that a Certificate of Confidentiality does not prevent you, or a member of your family, from voluntarily releasing information about yourself or your involvement in this study. If an insurer or employer learns about your participation, and obtains your consent to receive research information, then we may not use the Certificate of Confidentiality to withhold this information. This means that you and your family must also actively protect your own privacy. You should understand that we will in all cases, take the necessary action, including reporting to authorities, to prevent serious harm to yourself, children, or others. For example, in the case of current or imminent child abuse or neglect. Note: We are NOT mandated to report PAST sexual abuse of children and we will not do so, but we cannot protect information of ongoing, current or imminent sexual abuse of children from subpoena. A Certificate of Confidentiality does not represent an endorsement of the research study by the Department of Health and Human Services or the National Institutes of Health. I hope that helps.
