Abstract:

As part of its data stewardship program, the U.S. Census Bureau requires adherence to specific policies and procedures for the acquisition, use, and linkage of administrative records. Central to these policies and procedures is a formal project review and approval process that includes a specific policy for record linkage activities. The National Longitudinal Mortality Study utilizes administrative records, and is, therefore, subject to the requirements above. This paper provides an overview of the bureau's project review and approval process with a discussion of its Record Linkage Policy and the specific tools developed for ensuring compliance with the administrative records policies and procedures.
