Abstract

In this paper we share, with workshop participants, our experiences and research areas in meeting our legal and ethical requirements to avoid disclosing information provided by respondents, with a particular focus on public-use microdata. The U.S. Census Bureau methods of Statistical Disclosure Limitation reflect current internationally established practices.
