Title: Access to Confidential Data for Statistical Analysis

1
Access to Confidential Data for Statistical
Analysis
Kenneth Harris, Director of Research Data Center
2
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)

Despite the wide dissemination of its data
through publications, CD-ROMs, etc., the
inability to release files with, for instance,
lower levels of geography, severely limits the
utility of some data for research, policy, and
programmatic purposes and sets a boundary on one
of the Centers goals to increase its capacity to
provide state and local area estimates.

3
NCHS (cont.)

In pursuit of this goal and in response to the
research communitys interest in restricted data,
NCHS established the Research Data Center (RDC),
a mechanism whereby researchers can access
detailed data files in a secure environment,
without jeopardizing the confidentiality of the
respondents.

4
Research Data Center

The NCHS Research Data Center, established in
1998, is a facility at the NCHS headquarters in
Hyattsville, Maryland, where researchers are
granted access to restricted data files needed to
complete approved projects. Restricted data
files may contain information, such as lower
levels of geography, but do not contain direct
identifiers (e.g., name or social security
number).

5
Data Restrictions

Section 308 (d) of the Public Health Service Act
and the NCHS Staff Confidentiality Manual do not
permit the release of data that are either
identified or identifiable to persons outside of
NCHS.

6
Data Restrictions (cont.)

Identifiable data include not only direct
identifiers such as name, social security number,
etc., but also data that can serve to allow
inferential identification of either individual
or institutional respondents by a number of means.

7
Data Restrictions (cont.)

Research indicates that identifiability is
greatly enhanced if geographic identifiers for
state, county, census tract, block-group or block
are released on public use files.

8
Key Issues for Research Data Availability

CONFIDENTIALITY
The dissemination of data in a manner that would
allow public identification of the respondent or
would in any way be harmful to him/her is
prohibited and the data are immune from legal
process.

9
Key Issues for Research Data Availability (cont.)

DISCLOSURE
Disclosure relates to inappropriate attribution
of information to a data subject, whether an
individual or an organization. Disclosure occurs
when a data subject is identified from a released
file (identity disclosure), sensitive information
about a data subject is revealed through the
released file (attribute disclosure), or the
released data make it possible to determine the
value of some characteristic of an individual
more accurately than otherwise would have been
possible (inferential disclosure).

10
Appendix I Rules for the Release of Micro Data
Files

The data file must not contain any detailed
information about the subject that could
facilitate identification and that is not
essential for research purposes (e.g., exact date
of the subjects birth).
Geographic places that have fewer than 100,000
people are not to be identified on the data file.
Characteristics of an area are not to appear on
the data file if they would uniquely identify an
area of less than 100,000 people.

11
Appendix I Rules for the Release of Micro Data
Files (cont.)

Information on the drawing of the sample which
might assist in identifying a data subject must
not be released outside the Center. Thus, the
identities of primary sampling units are not to
be made available outside the Center.
Before any new or revised micro data files are
published, they, together with their full
documentation, must be approved for publication
by the NCHS Director or Deputy Director.
A micro data file containing confidential data on
unidentified individuals or facilities may not be
released to any person or organization outside
NCHS until that person, or a responsible
representative of that organization, has first
signed the statement on the Order Form, whereby
he gives assurance that the data provided will be
used only for statistical reporting or research
purposes.

12
Why NCHS Does Not Release Files With Lower Levels
of Geography

Research suggests that in the case of personal
surveys nine commonly collected variables result
in the table below.

Population of Geopolitical Area Percent of Sample Identifiable
25,000 24
50,000 20
100,000 14
200,000 8
300,000 5
400,000 4
500,000 3
13
Why NCHS Does Not Release Files With Lower Levels
of Geography (cont.)

Notes A geopolitical area may be a county,
city, town, or other place with well- defined
boundaries.
In this case, identification refers to
certainty identification.

14
How Does RDC Operate?

On-Site Access
Remote Access
Staff Assisted Analytical Session

15
User Procedures

To gain access to NCHS restricted data through
either method, user must
Submit a research proposal.
An advisory and proposal review committee
receives, reviews, and approves researcher
proposals
Proposals are evaluated primarily on the
confidentiality disclosure risk.
Scientific merit is not an evaluation criteria.
Sign an affidavit of confidentiality and promise
not to use any method to attempt to identify
respondents.

16
User Procedures (cont.)

Not take any materials or equipment into RDC
unless approved by RDC staff.
Submit data files to be merged onto NCHS data
ahead of time all merging is done by RDC staff.
Subject all output and/or materials removed from
the RDC to a disclosure limitation review.
May not remove any NCHS restricted data files nor
linked data files.

17
Researcher Affidavit of Confidentiality

I certify that no confidential data or
information viewed or otherwise obtained while I
am a researcher in the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Research Data Center
(RDC) will be removed from NCHS. Further, I
understand that NCHS will perform a disclosure
review and must provide approval to me before I
remove any data from the RDC, whether it be in
electronic or paper form. I acknowledge NCHS
Confidentiality Statute, 308(d) of the Public
Health Service Act stated below and fully
understand my legal obligations to NCHS to
protect all confidential data. Further I
understand any violation I may perform is
punishable under 18 United States Code (USC),
1001 which carries a fine of up to 10,000 or up
to 5 years in prison.

18
Researcher Affidavit of Confidentiality (cont.)

NCHS 308(d) Confidentiality Statute - No
information, if an establishment or person
supplying the information or described in it is
identified, obtained in the course of activities
undertaken or supported under section 304, 305,
306, 307, or 309 may be used for any purpose
other than the purpose for which it was supplied
unless such establishment or person has consented
to its use for such other purpose and in the case
of information obtained in the course of health
statistical or epidemiological activities under
section 304 or 306, such information may not be
published or released in other form if the
particular establishment or person supplying the
information or described in it is identifiable
unless such establishment or person has consented
to its publication or release in other form.

19
Researcher Affidavit of Confidentiality (cont.)

18 United States Code, 1001 - Deliberately making
a false statement in any matter within the
jurisdiction of any Department or Agency of the
Federal Government violates 18 USC 1001 and is
punishable by a fine of up to 10,000 or up to 5
years in prison.

Can Researcher Merge his/her Data with NCHS ?

Must Interact with RDC staff to ensure
that their data can be merged with the
NCHS data.
User-supplied data will be merged with
NCHS data by RDC staff only.
The NCHS RDC policy states that merged
and user-supplied data will not be made
available for analysis to anyone without
the written consent of the user.

data
on-site - use local computing resources in the
NCHS RDC, Hyattsville, MD
remote submit programs electronically to be
executed in the RDC with output returned by email
staff assisted RDC staff provide on-site
programming for off-site approved researchers
For all methods of access, restricted data files
remain in RDC and output is inspected for
disclosure violations

48
On-Site Access

RDC staff constructs necessary data files,
including merged user data
Most statistical packages available with
sufficient lead time
Output subject to disclosure review
Open only during normal working hours

49
Remote Access Method

RDC staff constructs necessary data files,
including merged user data
SAS programs only (certain procedures and
functions not allowed) additional software
options expected
Both submitted programs and output undergo a
programmed disclosure limitation review

50

Fetal Death Data portion. Given 1989-1999.
Linked to county level contextual data.
Goal to model fetal death with emphasis on ground
water quality. Estimates death rates for each
county.

61
Geo-Coded NHIS

National Health Interview Survey. RDC has access
to files from 1963 to present. Previously
geo-coded households for 1986-1994. Recently
geo-coded by RDC from 1995-2003. 2004-2005
coding in progress.
State (2 digits), County (3 digits), Tract (6
digits), Block Group (1 digit), and Block (3-4
digits) levels. Households coded to 1990 and
2000 Censuses.

62
Geo-Coded NHANES III

NHANES III is also linked to NDI Mortality data.
NHANES III has been geo-coded twice. The RDC has
done it at the same level of detail as NHIS.
Continuous NHANES has not been geo-coded yet.
Example Large project with neighborhood,
economic, ethnic, and individual medical and
behavioral variables. Multi-level models.

63
NSFG Contextual Data

Contextual variables available with Cycles 4, 5,
and 6. Supplied for each individual in sample.
Cycle 6 1054 contextual variables at the state,
county, tract, and block group levels. For
respondent addresses in 2000 and 2002.
Contextual data include both economic and
demographic characteristics of locations. Easily
merged by case ID to individual characteristics,
behaviors, and histories.

64
Simple NSFG Example

A simple example relating economics on state
level, ethnicity, and behavior, but not using
contextual variables.
Treatment States given waiver to offer more
family planning services (FPS).
Questions
FPS effects on behavior
FPS effect on pregnancy rates
Differential impacts across demographic subgroups?

65
Change of Topic Accessing Data

On-site access to data at the RDC in Hyattsville.
Staff-assisted remote access to data via e-mail.
Researchers often use both types of access.
Potential Designated Agent status. (CIPSEA)
The RDC has put many resources into automated
remote access.

66
On-Site Access

Rules in 24 page file GuidelinesRDC11-8-05.pdf
available on-line.
The RDC and NCHS surveys have knowledgeable
professional staffs that review proposals
carefully. Clients can only remove what has been
approved. Checked by staff.
Exploratory Data Analysis. If needed, ask.
Recent example Checking general shapes of
variables for model validity. OKed by survey.
Modeling needs. Recent example Nested
randomized geo-codes.
Estimation problems. Example Single PSU in a
Stratum.

67
Staff-Assisted Remote Access

Analysis done through a particular staff member.
Usually efficient, but could be very busy.
Staff member determines costs based on time.
Staff usually not asked to do much programming.
Staff creates data, runs e-mailed programs,
checks, and returns output to researcher.
Staff can do exploratory analysis, if needed.
Staff can help check modeling problems.
Commonly done after on-site visit.
