The Model State Vital Statistics Act is a document designed to be used by State Registrars of Vital Statistics and State Legislators when considering revision of the Vital Statistics laws. The main objectives of the 1977 Revision of the Model Act are: (1) To incorporate current social customs and practices and current technology into the policies and Procedures of the vital statistics system in the various States; (2) to promote the uniformity of these policies and procedures to the end that all vital records will be readily acceptable in all places as prima facie evidence of the facts therein recorded: (3) to enhance the level of comparability of vital statistics data among the various States; and (4) to minimize duplication within the vital statistics system and thereby achieve maximum administrative economy. The historical philosophy of the vital statistics systems in the United States is that vital events be registered only in the State in which they occur. This concept is maintained in this Revision of the Model Act. The jurisdiction of the State Registrar extends only to boundaries of his State and standards for registration may be set and enforced only for those events occurring within those boundaries. This is a very important concept in maintaining the validity of vital records in their use for legal purposes. If it is to be respected, the appropriate procedures for recording birth and death information for United States citizens born or dying in foreign countries and certification of birth information for aliens adopted by United States citizens must continue to be the responsibility of those Federal Agencies which retain jurisdiction over recording these events. While this revision of the Model Act does not constitute an abrupt departure from earlier Model Vital Statistics Acts, there are several modifications that should be noted. The most significant change relates to the establishment of a centralized system for the collection, processing, registration and certification of vital records in each State, whereby all vital events are reported directly to the State Office of Vital Statistics. However, the Model Act contains authorization for local offices to perform those functions the State Registrar may direct, including the receipt and processing of vital records and the issuance of certified copies, when such offices can be shown to be an aid to efficient and effective operation of the system. The Model Act further provides for the options of allowing such local offices to work with records only for their designated geographic area or to be given access to the entire State file and allowing them to issue certified copies with- out regard to where the event occurred within the State. The important concept, however, is that these offices are part of the State Office of Vital Statistics and are under the direct control of the State Registrar. ; "May 1978." ; These revisions replace the 1959 Revision of the Model State Vital Statistics Act (PHS:794) and the1973 Revision of the Model State Vital Statistics Regulations (PHCRS Dec. #616.6).

The article concerns ethical rules compiled by both public statistics and users of public statistics. Ethical rules in statistics are partly codified in the European Statistics Code of Practice published by Eurostat, the statistical bureau of the European Union. The implementation of this code is subject to periodical reviews. The second part of the paper deals with various manipulations of statistical data performed by their users. The thesis of the paper states that if non-ethical practices appear, either in public statistics or in manipulations by users, they are relatively quickly denounced. This thesis is supported by some empirical facts.

The teaching of statistics in the U.S. and Japanese universities is briefly reviewed. It is found that H. Hotelling's articles and subsequent relevant publications on the teaching of statistics have contributed to a considerable extent to the establishment of excellent departments of statistics in U.S. universities and colleges. Today the U.S. may be proud of many well-staffed and well-organized departments of theoretical and applied statistics with excellent undergraduate and graduate programs. On the contrary, no Japanese universities have an independent department of statistics at present, and the teaching of statistics has been spread among a heterogeneous group of departments of application. This was mainly due to the Japanese government regulation concerning the establishment of a university. However, it has recently been revised so that an independent department of statistics may be started in a Japanese university with undergraduate and graduate programs. It is hoped that discussions will be started among those concerned on the question of organization of the teaching of statistics in Japanese universities as soon as possible.

The early history of the vital statistics system was presented in detail in Vital Statistics of the United States, Volume I, 1950. This earlier document is reprinted in this publication in appendix II. That report begins with the early collection and preservation of registration records as legal evidence of the occurrence of the event, primarily for use in protecting individual rights. It then describes the era in which death records by cause became recognized as essential for control of epidemics and for other public health interests. The report goes on to cover how welfare legislation of the 1930's and emergency World War II legislation of the 1940's brought about an unprecedented demand by individuals for their birth certificates. Included in the earlier report is a description of the long, hard-fought, and often discouraging campaign of individuals, associations, and State and Federal agencies to bring about uniform registration laws and reporting forms that could not only serve the increasing needs of individuals for their records but also provide data for statistical analysis at all levels of government. The establishment, development, and completion of the registration areas designed to provide national birth and death statistics and the early efforts that ultimately led to establishment of similar registration areas for providing marriage and divorce data are described. The report traces the Federal function in vital statistics from its origin in the Bureau of the Census to its placement in the National Office of Vital Statistics in the Public Health Service in 1946. The purpose of this report is to pick up where the 1950 report ended and describe further developments and major activities and accomplishments that occurred from 1950 through 1995. Most of the information included was obtained from or based upon material contained in government reports. Material from the 1950 report is repeated in certain instances to provide an informative context for understanding the more recent developments. Reference is also made to some pre-1950 activities and achievements that were not discussed in the earlier report. All publications that were reviewed by the author in preparing this report are referred to in the text or cited as sources. Because the publications reviewed are in the public domain, much of the material in them is widely used, appears in numerous publications, and consequently, is likely to appear in publications not cited in this report. ; Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Introduction -- -- Organizational changes -- Transfer to the Public Health Service -- National Center for Health Statistics -- -- Supporting activities -- Public Health Conference on Records and Statistics -- National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems -- -- Developmental activities -- Model Vital Statistics Act – U.S. standard certificates and reports -- Registration areas -- -- Improvement of data -- Tests of birth registration completeness -- Query programs for improving birth and death data -- Current Mortality Sample -- Cause-of-death classification -- Comparability studies -- Ranking causes of death -- Automated mortality data system Electronic registration -- Multiple causes-of-death statistics -- Race and ethnicity data -- Fetal death and induced termination of pregnancy data -- Linked birth/infant death data -- Training -- -- Special projects -- Vital statistics rates in the United States: 1940–60 -- Vital and health statistics monographs, 1959–61 -- -- Cooperative developments -- Vital statistics component of the Cooperative Health Statistics System -- State centers for health statistics -- Supplemental data sources -- Follow-back surveys -- National Survey of Family Growth -- National Death Index -- -- Availability of vital statistics data -- Publications -- Public-use data tapes -- CD-ROM with SETS -- Vital statistics in the 21st century: A vision for the future -- -- References -- Appendix I.
