New publications on data linkage
Published on the 09 February 2024
The Yuwaya Ngarra-li Partnership has recently published two items detailing its use of data linkage.
The first, a Yuwaya Ngarra-li Briefing Paper by Rebecca Reeve, Ruth McCausland, Peta MacGillivray and Virginia Robinson, details the process of how YN, led by the Dharriwaa Elders Group in Walgett, is developing a linked data study for holistic community-led research and evaluation that serves community priorities and operationalises Indigenous Data Governance through facilitating access to government-held data for community purposes.
The paper also details how the actual linkage process works, including the safeguards employed to ensure data security and confidentiality. This includes how data are transferred, stored, accessed and reported.
The second piece, ‘Community-led diversion of Indigenous young people from the justice system: The role of government administrative data’, published in the International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice, is by the same authors and details the use of administrative data in the partnership.
