Abstract
Despite growing policy interest in medical privacy, few empirical data reveal patients' views concerning use of medical records for research. Based on the authors' data and those of others, this article suggests guidelines regarding obtaining consent for the use of medical records in research that attempt to respect patient autonomy and promote scientific and medical uses of this information for the public good.
