Publisher's Note This volume explores the seeming conflicts between privacy and data access, an issue of concern to federal statistical agencies collecting the data, research organizations using the data, and individuals providing the data. A panel of experts offers principles and specific recommendations for managing data and improving the balance between needed government use of data and the privacy of respondents.
Industry Reviews A panel formed by the National Research Council explores the apparent conflict between people's desire to keep their personal data confidential, and the need of governments for information on which to base public policy. They look at the current situation and make specific recommendations on such matters as the responsibility of data users, and how much should data providers know about what the data is to be used for.
