Data

The SIAA project has collected data of interest to investigators from many disciplines and data will be available for study in January 2010. SIAA data will be available in a restricted-use contractual dataset. It is a central concern of the SIAA project that the confidentiality of participants be strictly protected. Deductive disclosure concerns prevent full access to all data sources. For this reason, the distribution of data will be limited.

  1. Restricted-use data will be distributed only to certified researchers who commit themselves to maintaining limited access.
  2. In no case will geocodes be available to outside researchers.

The rationale for this release structure is to protect the identities of SIAA project participants while allowing access to the data to a wide range of researchers.
