Spanish term or phrase: Consultas anónimas
Hi everyone! I'm translating material for an online education platform and even though this seems simple, I'm struggling with how to translate the title of the project which is "Consultas anónimas". The idea is that the students write questions on health and the body and then answer others' questions, without knowning who wrote the questions. Would 'Anonymous Advice' work? That just seems like it could be any kind of advice. Or 'Anonymous Medical Advice?'. The only thing about that is that it doesn't seem right for questions that are just on how the body works and not problems as such. Or maybe 'confidential' is better? or 'Q & As'? Thanks for your help!

Consultas anónimas
Biología y geología: 3º ESO. El cuerpo humano.
Presentación
Texto
Aunque nos acompaña cada día de nuestra vida, todos tenemos dudas sobre nuestro cuerpo. ¿Cómo funciona? ¿Por qué enferma? ¿Cómo podemos evitar lesionarnos? ¿Cómo podemos evitar caer enfermos? ¿Cómo nos podemos curar? ¿Por qué siento lo que siento? Muchas preguntas que, quizá, ya tienen respuestas. Solo hay que consultar y preguntar a las fuentes correctas.
En este proyecto os proponemos que resolváis las dudas que podáis tener y compartáis las respuestas que encontréis con otra gente. Bienvenidos al consultorio anónimo.

Individualmente, redactad cinco preguntas sobre el funcionamiento del cuerpo humano. Procurad expresar las dudas que tengáis de forma que se entiendan: seguramente os las van a resolver y entenderéis un poco mejor como funciona vuestro cuerpo (y el de los demás, obviamente).
Las respuestas serán totalmente anónimas, así que no tenéis que preocuparos.
Las cinco preguntas tendrán que ser:
• Una sobre lesiones (vuestras o de alguien que conozcáis)
• Una sobre alguna enfermedad infecciosa
• Una sobre una enfermedad no infecciosa
• Una sobre reproducción y sexualidad
• La última es de temática libre

I went with 'Anonymous Q&A'. Thanks for your help!

agree  Danik 2014: ANONYMOUS Q & A
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Danik :)

agree  patinba
2 hrs
  -> Thanks, Pat :)

disagree  Sian Cooper: The instance quoted, 'anonymous asking of...' does not use 'asking' in the same grammatical sense. I am not familiar with 'the asking' as a noun, I am not at alll convinced it exists. Also it does not include the response aspect.
1 day 13 hrs
  -> It's just the name of an activity, Sian, and they talk about '"Anonymous Asking sites' so why not an 'anonymous asking activity'? 'Questioning' is used as a noun, so.... Anyway, my preferred choice would be "Anoymous Q & A".

agree  ormiston: yes to 'Anonymous Q&A'

Anonymous exchange


Explanation:
I feel an 'exchange' may be good for a service that provides a Q&A, response process.

You could get creative, though, and go for something like 'Body Talk - anonymous Q&A'
