A waiver of authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) and a waiver of informed consent were approved for both protocols based on the criteria that the use or disclosure of PHI involved no more than minimal risk to the privacy of individuals and because the research could not practically be conducted without the waiver and without access to and use of the PHI.
