Data Access Mode
Access to the microdata provided by the RDSC usually takes place at guest research workstations in a secure environment at one of the RDSC locations, after conclusion of a data usage agreement (on-site). This form of access is necessary in order to comply with the legal provisions on maintaining the confidentiality of statistical reports and at the same time to enable access to individual data for independent scientific research purposes. Controlled remote data processing is possible for some data sets and under certain conditions. Scientific Use Files (SUFs) for household data are available for download.
