Our studies
Held at the Cardiff University, this workshop gave both first-time and more experienced data users an insight into four of the UK’s internationally-renowned cohort studies run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS). The slides from this workshop are available to download from this page.
Longitudinal data are a powerful resource for addressing a wide range of scientific questions in various social, health, political and geographical sciences.
For example, what determines health across life? How has social mobility changed? What determines voting preferences?
This workshop gave both first-time and more experienced data users an insight into four of the UK’s internationally-renowned cohort studies run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS):
Delegates were given an introduction to each of the cohort studies as well as further information on how to access and use them. The session also featured updates on recent developments in each of the studies, including upcoming new data releases.
The session featured guest speakers who discussed their use of cohort data across a range of topics such as the role of grandparents, social participation in adulthood, and children’s wellbeing.
