Through qualitative research including in-depth interviews and systematic analysis, the project is characterizing the privacy risks and management strategies experienced by vulnerable populations. The project is also developing and evaluating a privacy toolkit to support service providers, such as librarians, social workers, teachers, and healthcare professionals, in helping vulnerable individuals mitigate privacy harms. The award period is from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
