Workshop: Programmatic Data De-identification with R

Thi s practical workshop\, delivered by the UBC Library Resear ch Data Management team\, introduces programmatic approaches to de-ide ntifying sensitive research data in R. Through hands-on exercises using a realistic survey dataset\, participants will apply a structured workflow\, from assessing privacy risks to exporting a shareable\, de-identified dat aset.

Participants will learn how to:

Identify privacy ri sks in research data\, including direct identifiers\, dates\, geographic v ariables\, and free-text fields.
Apply de-identification methods i n R using dplyr\, including removal\, generalization\, suppression\, anony mization\, and pseudonymization.
Run quality assurance checks to c onfirm a dataset is sufficiently de-identified before sharing.
Exp ort a de-identified dataset and a data key file\, and understand best prac tices for securely storing each.

To participate fully\, yo u will need to install the latest versions of R and RStudio on your comput er before the workshop:

Install R from https://cran.rstudio.com/
Install RStudio from https://rstudio.com/ products/rstudio/download/#download

Note: This workshop pr ovides a practical introduction to programmatic data de-identification. Pa rticipants are encouraged to consult their institutional privacy\, legal\, or compliance experts for guidance on specific datasets.

Location: ONLINE

(A Zoom link will be sent to registrants 3 hours b efore the event starts.)
