Dying in Darkness: Deviations From Data Sharing Ethics in the US Public Health System and the Data Genocide of American Indian and Alaska Native Communities

Dying in Darkness: Deviations From Data Sharing Ethics in the US Public Health System and the Data Genocide of American Indian and Alaska Native Communities

In this paper we explore how these barriers perpetuate health inequities, examine the ethical dimensions of data sharing, and argue for a “share by default” model that aligns with public health ethics, respects Tribal sovereignty, and ensures the provision of timely, actionable information for American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

Ethical Considerations for Wastewater Surveillance Conducted by the US Department of Defense

Further, there is a public health ethics principle, which argues that a public health program should use the least invasive or minimally burdensome (to the population being targeted by the program) methods to accomplish its goals [16,34]. Service members already forgo significant autonomy afforded to civilians; therefore, any public health program that might additionally strip away their autonomy must be seriously deliberated before implementation.
