 Quality control is an integral part of the NJSCR. We review and evaluate the quality of our data through edit programs, and re-abstracting studies. We strive to improve data collection activities through targeted training programs. NAACCR has awarded the NJSCR the Gold Standard, the highest standard possible, for the quality of data since the incep0tion of this award several years ago. The criteria used to judge the quality of the data are timeliness, completeness of cancer case ascertainment, completeness of specific information on the cancer cases, percent of death certificate only cases, percent of duplicate cases, in addition to passing the data through a stringent edit program.
The NJSCR has been awarded the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) Gold Standard since 1995, the highest standard possible, based on completeness of cancer case ascertainment, completeness of certain information on the cancer cases, percent of death certificate only cases, passing an editing program, and timeliness.
