    Welcome to the course “Ensuring Statistical Reliability & Privacy Compliance in Public Health Reporting.”

    This training is the implementation arm of the Rhode Island Department of Health’s

    Small Numbers guideline since it became its official reporting policy in 2016.
  • 1:08 - 1:21
    The initial course emphasis on the development and testing of the policy’s statistical model gave way
    00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:36,000
    in subsequent versions to a more applied approach with hands-on illustrations of its main principles.
  • 1:37 - 1:50
    The course was initially intended for the Department of Health’s surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation
    00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:05,000
    Staff.
  • 2:06 - 2:19
    Students and staff from Rhode Island universities and organizations have been participating since the
    00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:34,000
    second training as part of ongoing data cooperation agreements with these organizations.
  • 2:35 - 2:48
    This course holds no claim on the transferability of any of its guidelines or strategies to the reporting
    00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:03,000
    policies of these organizations.
  • 3:04 - 3:17
    The course is organized in eleven sections that cover the most important aspects of the policy
    00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:32,000
    starting with a brief description of its development and main objectives.
  • 3:33 - 3:46
    The sections on confidentiality protection and statistical reliability use case studies
    00:03:47,000 --> 00:04:01,000
    from a wide range of reporting scenarios.
  • 4:02 - 4:15
    These step-by-step demonstrations identify and remove privacy threats
    00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:30,000
    to ensure the credibility of estimates in public health reports.
  • 4:31 - 4:44
