背景：北爱尔兰行政数据研究(ADR NI)是学术界和当地统计机构之间的伙伴关系，目的是促进北爱尔兰行政数据的获取和使用。目前正在通过开展一系列示范战略影响项目来推进这些目标，这些项目旨在为部门感兴趣的研究领域和当前的政府方案草案提供投入。APPROACH：ADR NI目前不是作为一个数据库运作，但将根据具体和批准的项目的需要与其他部门和机构谈判访问和链接行政数据的子集。然而，预计这一模式将随着大型关联数据集的创建和保留而扩大，这些数据集可用于解决一系列政策领域的问题。目前，经过认证的研究人员只能从贝尔法斯特的安全环境中获取匿名数据，尽管正在考虑使用国家统计局安全研究人员服务在英国境内更广泛地获取数据。ADR NI目前被用于为包括卫生、教育、环境和城市规划在内的广泛领域的政策提供信息。讨论：ADR NI继续发展和变化。在英国新立法的支持下，数据所有者的信心不断增强，这增加了共享和链接行政数据的意愿和能力。然而，获取数据的相关后勤和行政程序将需要进一步精简，以使时间表变得更有效率和更可预测。基于行政数据的研究影响政策的潜在效用的证据继续增加。结论：在过去的十年里，我们已经向数据所有者和不同的公众证明，为了公共利益而将行政数据联系起来是安全和可接受的。ADR NI的发展和成熟进展迅速，我们继续学习我们在整个英国和世界各地姊妹组织的发展。我们期待着在北爱尔兰和整个英国更多地获得和使用行政数据。
BACKGROUND: The Administrative Data Research Northern Ireland (ADR NI), is a partnership between academia and the local statistics agency to advance the access to and use of administrative data in Northern Ireland. These goals are currently being advanced by undertaking a series of demonstrator Strategic Impact Projects developed to provide input to departmental areas of research interest and the current draft Programme for Government.APPROACH: ADR NI does not currently operate as a data repository but will negotiate access to and link subsets of administrative data from other departments and agencies as required for specific and approved projects. It is, however, anticipated that this model will broaden with the creation and retention of large linked datasets that could be used to address questions across a range of policy areas. At present accredited researchers can access the anonymised data only from within the safe setting situated in Belfast, although consideration is being given to using the Office for National Statistics Secure Researcher Service to access data more widely within the UK. ADR NI is currently being used to inform policy in a wide array of areas including health, education, environmental and urban planning.DISCUSSION: ADR NI continues to develop and change. The growing confidence amongst data owners which has been supported by new and facilitating UK legislation has increased the willingness and ability to share and link administrative data. However, the associated logistical and administrative processes for accessing data will need further streamlining so that the timelines become more efficient and predictable. The evidence for the potential utility of research based on administrative data to influence policy continues to grow.CONCLUSION: Over the last decade we have demonstrated to data owners and the different publics that it is safe and acceptable to link administrative data for public benefit. The evolution and maturation of the ADR NI progresses apace and we continue to learn from developments in our sister organisations throughout the UK and throughout the world. We look forward to greater access to and use of administrative data both within Northern Ireland and across the UK.
