目标。评估美国人口普查局数字识别文件（Numident）中人口水平的美国死亡率数据的质量，并描述死亡率信息的细节，以及使用人口普查局数字识别方法时可用的新的个人水平联系。我们将人口普查数据中的全因死亡率与疾病控制与预防中心公布的重要统计数据进行了比较。我们提供有关人口普查数据与其他人口普查局调查、行政和经济数据联系的详细信息。人口普查数字中的死亡人数与公布的死亡率人口动态统计数字相似。年度比较表明，自1997年以来，人口普查局捕获的死亡人数更多，而过去的覆盖率略低。两组数据的每周估计显示出相似的趋势。人口普查数据是研究全因死亡率的高质量和及时的数据来源。人口普查局为研究人员提供了一套庞大而丰富的与人口普查数据相关联的限制使用的个人数据。公共卫生影响。与人口普查局提供的数据相关联的人口普查数据为开展基于证据的死亡率公共卫生政策研究提供了基础设施。
Objectives. To assess the quality of population-level US mortality data in the US Census Bureau Numerical Identification file (Numident) and describe the details of the mortality information as well as the novel person-level linkages available when using the Census Numident.Methods. We compared all-cause mortality in the Census Numident to published vital statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We provide detailed information on the linkage of the Census Numident to other Census Bureau survey, administrative, and economic data.Results. Death counts in the Census Numident are similar to those from published mortality vital statistics. Yearly comparisons show that the Census Numident captures more deaths since 1997, and coverage is slightly lower going back in time. Weekly estimates show similar trends from both data sets.Conclusions. The Census Numident is a high-quality and timely source of data to study all-cause mortality. The Census Bureau makes available a vast and rich set of restricted-use, individual-level data linked to the Census Numident for researchers to use.Public Health Implications. The Census Numident linked to data available from the Census Bureau provides infrastructure for doing evidence-based public health policy research on mortality.
