Project: BADO

Evaluating the support system for drug addicts in the City of Hamburg

The BADO ("Basisdatendokumentation im Suchtbereich") project statistically evaluates the usage and effectiveness of the city's support system for drug addicts in the City of Hamburg, Germany. More information on the BADO project can be found at the project's home page.

For privacy protection the BADO project uses a well-defined and strict procedure. This procedure ensures that personal data of drug addicts who seek help in the city's support system is made anonymous before being transferred to the BADO evaluating institute. In addition to protecting the data of clients also the participating institutions (which provide aid for drug abusers) are made anonymous to the BADO project. The Security in Distributed Systems group (SVS) at the Department of Computer science, University of Hamburg, assists in the accomplishment of this (twofold) privacy protection as part of the BADO Project.
