Abstract
This chapter discusses record linkage in small-area studies. Record linkage refers to the combination of data items, often from different files, for a certain unit of observation. In epidemiology, record linkage is often used to connect data for a particular individual. It is used for causal research and applied when the data on causes (treatment, exposure, etc) are to be related to the effect (survival/risk of the disease). Examples of record linkage to individual health area are presented.
