SUMMARY:Expanding Access, Protecting Trust: Modern Approaches to Sensitive Policy Data
DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n		\n			\n\n	\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Sponsored by The American Evaluation Association (AEA)\nAnswers to important policy questions about health, education, economic well‑being, and public program performance often require access to data that is restricted to protect privacy. At the same time, data stewards, policymakers, and researchers face growing pressure for timely, transparent, and credible evidence. How can we expand access to sensitive data without compromising privacy, confidentiality, or public trust?\nJoin APPAM & Westat as we examine practical, real‑world techniques for using sensitive data in policy research. This panel explores how techniques such as synthetic data, small cell suppression, and privacy-preserving linkage expand access to evidence while protecting subjects and maintaining trust. Topics covered will include:\n\nWhen and how artificially generated datasets can support policy analysis while protecting individual privacy\nHow disclosure control techniques are used when reporting on small populations or small cell counts in general, and why they matter for both privacy and data quality\nHow these methods enable deeper insights into program outcomes and population‑level impacts while protecting privacy\n\nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how modern approaches can increase the usability of sensitive data, and what that means for the future of evidence‑based policymaking.\nCost: \nAPPAM Members: FreeNon-Members: $10\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n    Register\n\n\n		\n	\n\n
