LPHI Food Is Medicine Privacy Policy
In all research, there is a possible risk of the loss of confidentiality, but we will do our best to keep your information secure. 

We will keep your personal information secure in the data system. You will be assigned a unique code that will be the link between you and your study information. This process keeps your health information and study results separate from your other personal information. Your personal information will be kept securely and will not be made available to anyone except for reasons described in this consent form.

Your privacy is very important to us. Here are just a few of the steps we will take to protect it:

1. We will have your name so we can reach you in the event you forget to complete a survey. We will share components of your personally identifiable information such as phone number and/or email address with the vendor of the intervention group that you are assigned to – either Instacart or Rouses. The vendors need this contact information to make sure you get your shopping funds each month. 

2. We will store study information on computers with controls to protect data confidentiality. We will limit and keep track of who sees this information.

3. Researchers who analyze the data to answer study research questions will not know who you are. The information that they get will be deidentified and not contain your name or other personally identifiable information. You will only be identified in the analytic dataset by a ParticipantID.

By providing my phone number to “Louisiana Public Health Institute”, I agree and acknowledge that “Louisiana Public Health Institute” may send text messages to my wireless phone number for any purpose.
