Health data linkage

We have linked a range of NHS administrative health data to the survey data we have collected from our study participants. Researchers can use these linked datasets to answer many different questions about the factors that influence health and how our health interacts with other aspects of our lives.

In this section you can find out which linked health data are currently available by study, read our user guides and follow links to apply for access via the UK Data Service, SAIL Databank in Wales or the UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration.
