Statistical disclosure control method is applied to the outputs to ensure no individual information will be released. SCAD applied rounding as an effective tabular data disclosure control method: all statistics are rounded to a multiple of 5. The rounding process helps in preserving individuals' privacy while having no effect on the accuracy. As a result of rounding, some table totals may not match the aggregate of their constituent parts.
