Abstract:

This report is about techniques for avoiding disclosure of confidential information about individuals (natural and legal persons) in connection with the release of statistical tabulations and microdata files (computerized records pertaining to individual statistical units). The report culminates more than a year's study of potentials for statistical disclosure of confidential information about identifiable (but not identified) units in tabulations and microdata files. The major questions addressed during the year and reported here are as follows: What is the nature of statistical disclosure? -How pervasive a problem is it? -How can agency requirements be translated into specific disclosure-avoidance techniques? How can agency requirements be met without unduly restricting data releases? How do agency disclosure-avoidance practices affect data subjects and data users? In summary, protection of the confidentiality of information about individuals must be balanced against the legitimate needs of society for information.
