Researchers rush to save US government data about Trans -Youth – before disappearance
If you think this looks familiar, you are not wrong. When Trump assumed the presidency in 2017, scientists, preserved and library secretaries at the University of Pennsylvania moved to preserve the data published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NOAA. Another group in Michigan lost valuable information for fear of EPA and Noaa sites. Web sites have been supported by the Internet archive. The large data collection is filled for safe maintenance.
At that time, the researchers were not sure that the input government was seeking to erase any information. It was like a chase, which proved that when it led her to appoint Trump and the appointment of Scott Provet, the Environmental Protection Agency began removing climate change information from its website in April 2017, “to reflect the new driving approach.”
Between 2017 and 2021, according to the data provided by EDGI, more than 1400 pages of climate change have been modified or available on government sites. Gritchen Gehrke, which leads the EDGI monitoring program, is not a “full list of changes” because some changes – such as “deleting” climate change “from the Mobility page in EPA.gov – only affects several other pages.
“I think after the Trump administration’s first experience, there is more awareness of federal information,” says Gehrke. “Watching the Trump campaign is really obsessed with the abuses, and knowing the date of the repression of the Trump administration information, people were really concerned that the information would be in danger.”
That is why it is very concerned. A set of data like the elements in YRBS and their loss can be disastrous for those who want to inform health and well about the Trans -Youth in the United States.
However, YRBS is currently shortly for a long time on the air on the air on the air, as well as information about the Food and Drug Administration and the positions of the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services, earlier this year after the staff management order, which was reviewed by Trump’s executive orders.
This information issued a temporary containment order in mid -February when John Bates, the American boycott judge, responded to the American doctors, and the site was re -identified. He said: “Any information about this page enhances the gender ideology is very inaccurate,” this page does not reflect the biological reality, and therefore the government and this section reject it. “
Tazlina Mannix worked on YRBS in Alaska from 2015 to 2023, as a survey coordinator and a data manager. It indicates that even if the center of diseases control keeps data online, deprivation of responsibilities such as the site on the site makes it difficult for researchers to do. Collecting public health data depends on relationships with people in health sectors and educational areas. He says that giving any cause of doubt can “bring you back to scratch.” “When I saw for the first time [that disclaimer]I am very afraid that the language is very severe, and it is also wrong. “
