Abstract:
|
The U.S. Census Bureau's Data Stewardship Program provides the legal and ethical framework for ensuring confidentiality is maintained and respondent privacy is respected. The Data Stewardship Program is centered on four privacy principles. Data stewardship policies have been developed to support those principles and ensure current practice is compatible with them. This session will demonstrate how data stewardship is applied for a specific data production effort at the bureau---the National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS). This paper focuses on two data stewardship policies that relate to the NLMS - Reimbursable Project Acceptance and Controlling Nonemployee Access to Title 13 Data. Both policies are critical components in the bureau's efforts to ensure respondent privacy and confidentiality are maintained.
