    1. Introduction
      • 1.1 Data
        • ACCMIS data
        • National Death Index data
         
      • 1.2 Report structure
       
    2. Linkage Strategies
      • 2.1 Types of data linkage
      • 2.2 SLK-based linkage
        • The strategy
          • Step 1: Defining the structure of the match keys
          • Step 2: Incorporating cross-program use
          • Step 3: Identification of keys to use in matching
          • Step 4: Stepwise matching using selected match keys
           
        • Results
         
      • 2.3 Name-based linkage strategy
        • The strategy
          • Step 1: Run pass
          • Step 2: Output pairs of matches with weights
          • Step 3: Clerical review
          • Step 4: Enact clerical review decisions
           
        • Results
       
    3. A comparison of two linkage strategies
      • 3.1 Type of link comparisons
        • Perspective
         
      • 3.2 Comparing links
        • NDI perspective
        • ACCMIS perspective
        • Two-way ACCMIS–NDI link comparison
         
      • 3.3 Analysis of SLK-based contested, missed and false links
        • Contested (mixed) links
          • ACCMIS perspective
          • NDI perspective
           
        • SLK missed links
          • Identifying additional keys
            • Possible additional keys to use
            • Keys that would incorporate too many false links
             
          • Data quality – missing postcode on the NDI
           
        • SLK false links
         
      • 3.4 Overall link quality
        • Direct estimates
        • Refined estimates
         
      • 3.5 Summary
       
    4. Analysis comparisons
