Choosing Core NILS data and its impact on Research Rónán Adams Máire Brolly NILS User Forum 11 th December 2009
2
Aims: Understand the structure of the NILS Understand the level/impact of Census Imputation and List Inflation Understand the research implications
3
Identifying the Core NILS data requirement to have a core data source coverage of the data source complete information on dates of birth existing linkages between the data sources
4
Core Data Set Options: Data sets in Research Proposal – Agreement Census Health Card Registrations (CHI) Issues: Census –Census Office only require Age –Any missing day/month Imputed to 1 st – 1st too high, all other dates too low –Person imputation (95%) Health Card registrations –List Inflation (105%)
5
Existing Links between Data Sources NICR Data Central Health Index GRO Births GRO Deaths 2001 Census Records
6
Proposed Links between Data Sources NICR Data Central Health Index GRO Births GRO Deaths 2001 Census Records
7
NILS/NIMS NILS c28% of population Sample members from Health Card Registrations List Inflation an issue Census Imputation NIMS 100% of deaths Census members linked to deaths Only enumerated people can be linked
8
Sample Selection in NI 104 dates – 100 NI, 4 E&W For each download (6 monthly) –Is the DDMM of the DOB a NILS date? If so then they are in the sample NILS sample – a person who has ever been in one of the 6-monthly downloads
9
Contextual DataNILS Core DataEvents Health Card Registrations Key demographic information on NILS members (514,000 live) @ Census Date New members (c40,000) 2001 Census Database 1991 Census Births Data (baby linked to Birth Registration) 1997 births onwards Deaths Births to MothersBirths to Fathers Stillbirths & Infant Deaths Migration (Immigrants, Emigrants, Re-Entrants & Within NI Movers) VLA/Rating Data POINTER Address Database

Health Card Registrations Central Health Index All Live Patients (4 th May 2001) 1,768,473 Published 2001 census population One Number (29 th April 2001) 1,685,267 Enumerated 2001 census population (29 th April 2001) 1,603,641 Imputed Records 81,626 Imputed Records 81,626 Enumerated 2001 census population (29 th April 2001) 1,603,641 List Inflation 83,206 4.6% 90.7% 4.7%

Imputation level – Marital Status

Imputation level – Economic Activity

Imputation level – Community Background
29
Summary Characteristics of List Inflation & Imputation are different from Enumerated –Highest in deprived, urban areas –Affects males more than females –Affects 17-35 year olds most –Unemployed, students, living alone
30
Impact on NILS Imputed people can’t be linked – no names, DOBs etc. List inflation people unlikely to be on other administrative data (births, deaths, …) Can only expect to link a proportion of population
31
‘real’ people on census 9.3% of health card registrations with no census return Don’t know who exactly they are Some will be people who didn’t fill out form Some will be people who shouldn’t be on list
32
Estimate for NILS 28% sample Don’t know who is ‘list inflation’ Don’t know who is ‘imputed’ Assume 28% is representative 4.6% 90.7% 4.7% Health Card Registrations with NILS Date Central Health Index All Live Patients (4 th May 2001) 508,279 Imputation 23,460 Enumerated 460,904 List Inflation 23,914

35
Impacts Simple RatesTOO LOW –% people who move –Crude death rate –Birth Rate, TPFR Rates (census)TOO HIGH –Standardised rates –Models Relative differences?
36
Hypothetical Example General Fertility Rate – –number of births per 1,000 women aged 16-44 8,000 births NILS members (16-44) –130,000 –GFR = 62.1 per 1,000 NILS members with Census link (16-44) –110,000 –GFR = 72.7 per 1,000 ‘true’ estimate –120,000 –GFR = 67.2 per 1,000

Dental Registrations – Relative differences
41
Summary List inflation & imputation are issues Imputation can be measured – lots of information LI cannot be easily measured – limited information Match rates cannot be easily determined Characteristics of imputed and list inflation different from ‘normal’ population Need to consider impact on your research
42
Aim: Understand the structure of the NILS Understand the level/impact of Census Imputation and List Inflation Understand the research implications
