Feedback:
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service, investigated the effects of syphilis among 400 poor African-American men. Medical treatment was deliberately withheld to study the course of the untreated disease and violated the ethical principles of freedom from harm, right to self-determination, and the right to fair treatment. The Privacy Rule refers to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which articulates federal standards to protect patients' medical records and health information.
