Confidentiality and Data Access: A User’s Perspective
Presentation
Presentation by Molly Dahl, Chief of the Long-Term Analysis Unit in CBO’s Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis Division, to the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology and the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics.
Key models used to produce estimates at CBO rely critically on restricted-access data. When making arrangements to use restricted-access data, CBO generally aims for:
Continual and long-running access;
Secure access from CBO’s offices (or from home, in the work-from-home environment); and
Clear and well-understood processes that are similar among agencies.
