This one-hour webinar recording introduces users to the Age 62 Sweep – the most comprehensive data collection in adulthood in the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS), and the first to feature objective health measures in nearly 20 years. Join us to explore this major new research resource.
In this webinar recording, discover new harmonised asthma and diabetes measures available to researchers, find out how you could use these to compare generations, and learn about other future health data releases.
Help shape the next sweeps of NCDS and BCS70. This session will focus on how these studies can support the specific data and evidence needs in Scotland. It is intended for Scottish delegates or those investigating the Scottish context.
