HDR UK South-West Seminar Series - UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration: an interdisciplinary platform integrating longitudinal study data with participants' health, administrative and environmental data (42:05)

Abstract: The UK has a wonderful tradition of collecting rich longitudinal data from participant volunteers through longitudinal studies - these can include life-long follow-up, occupational studies and biobanks. UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration (UK LLC) has been established as the national Trusted Research Environment for record linkage in longitudinal research. We host data from over 20 partner studies, including many of the UK's premier longitudinal studies. We have systematically linked >400,000 participants to comprehensive health records and are now linking HMRC and DWP tax, employment and benefit records. Environmental and neighbourhood/property data are linked to participants residence. All these data are available in a single environment, accessible through a single application form and are currently free to access for public benefit research.

In this talk, Andy will outline the UK LLC resource, its potential and summarise how to access the data.
