Protecting Confidentiality in Microdata Files - Continuing Ed
ASA, Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Laura Voshell Zayatz, U.S. Census Bureau
This half-day course will provide an introduction to confidentiality protection for microdata files and will outline various approaches used for microdata files. People taking the course will not become disclosure limitation experts, but they will learn some specific methods they can use to protect the confidentiality of microdata files. Topics will include disclosure risks associated with microdata files, built-in confidentiality protections, statistical disclosure limitation techniques, software, reidentification studies, the role of Disclosure Review Boards, restricted access alternatives, and resources such as web sites, books, and committees that can offer further information and help on the confidentiality protection of microdata files. This course is intended for all data disseminators. There are no specific prerequisites for this course, though some familiarity with microdata files (or survey data) would be helpful. Fees: M-$200 ($270 after July 18), NM-$260 ($330 after July 18), SM- $125 ($200 after July 18)
