DATA ELEMENTS AND DATA ELEMENT CONCEPTS




INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the statistical standards for each of the data elements and data element concepts included in the data dictionary. As noted in Chapter 1, the data elements and concepts are presented in the data dictionary by 'Characteristic Type' rather than alphabetically. This type of presentation allows data elements with interrelationships to be grouped together.
