This training workshop (collaborators shown above) is aimed at researchers and data analysts who are interested in examining the association between aspects of the physical or social environment and health, economic, education or behavioural outcomes using Centre for Longitudinal Studies’ cohorts or administrative data from the UK.
The workshop will introduce participants to linking small-area level data on the local physical (air quality, greenspace etc) and social (access to services, deprivation) environment to cohort and administrative data. Attendees will learn basic concepts in geo-linkage and be introduced to key local social and environmental datasets. The workshop includes practical sessions to start building geographical information systems (GIS) skills for users of cohort and administrative data. The event is presented in collaboration with the Population, Policy and Practice Research and Teaching Department, UCL Great Ormond St. Institute of Child Health.
