Abstract:

Ongoing efforts among federal agencies to expunge public health data from websites and other media in line with Trump administration directives on "gender ideology" and other themes has led to widespread confusion, angst, and concern among health officials, medical practitioners, and patients. It has also generated legal claims seeking to reverse and stop public health data purges. Framed within statutory or constitutional limits, legal strategies countering these data policies help assure access to core public health information essential to specific services, care, and outcomes.
