Description: |
The Demonstration of Administrative Records Improving Surveys
(DARIS) research project will show the value of administrative records to Census Bureau demographic
surveys. Initially, the project will focus on the two test states of Illinois and Texas.
Later, the project may expand to other states. The objective of the project is to
demonstrate methods of integrating data from surveys and administrative records,
produce data sets that more accurately represent the target population's characteristics
than survey data alone, conduct experiments in disclosure-proofing hybrid data sets, and
document feasibility. Results of the analysis will also be used to improve Census
surveys, which many program adininistrators and researchers use to estimate the shares
of eligible populations that actually participate in the government programs.
