[ICPSR] From ICPSR: Summer Workshop on Disclosure Risk

[Linda Detterman]

Please help spread the word about this great educational opportunity!

The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following short
workshop:

*How to Identify and Remediate Disclosure Risk*

*Dates and Location:* July 11-13, 2018 at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby,
British Columbia)
*Instructor:* John Marcotte (ICPSR)

Disclosure risk is the possibility of respondents or subjects being
identified in data and is of concern to all people involved in collecting,
analyzing, and distributing research data. As data for research includes
more detailed information, disclosure risk increases.

First, this course will show the importance of public-use data. Public-use
data has very low disclosure risk and is often readily available for
download. A public-use version of the data provides the widest access for
secondary analysis.

Second, the course will demonstrate how respondent confidentiality can be
protected in research data. This segment will show how to assess and
mitigate disclosure risk; examine elements of a disclosure analysis and
disclosure protection such as statistical disclosure control; and
demonstrate measures commonly used to create public-use data files. This
segment will also cover examples of public-use files created from
restricted-use data, steps that can be taken early in the research process
to optimize distribution options, and methods of distributing
restricted-use data when public-use files cannot be created. Examples of
disclosure work from ICPSR will be used to illustrate disclosure risk and
protection methods.

A third segment will show how to provide access to non-public-use data.
These types of data require security protections and procedures. Although
these data are not public-use, summary results must be public-use if
published. This segment will discuss how to review summary results such as
crosstabs and regression coefficients for disclosure risk.

The workshop will be a combination of lectures and lab exercises.
