Ethical Use of Administrative Data for Research Purposes

  • Chapter
Actionable Intelligence

Abstract

The use of administrative or integrated data systems to provide actionable intelligence (AI) generates a number of ethical concerns from the confidentiality of the individuals whose information is contained in the data to the appropriate use and interpretation of the findings from analyzed data by researchers and executive leadership. Data are everywhere, and with current technologies, those data are more accessible and analyzable. So how can we promote the appropriate and ethical use of integrated data to inform effective social policy? That is the focus of this chapter.
