Session: Tuesday 8th July AM (10.00 - 12.45)

Title: Using Secondary Analysis to Research Health and Wellbeing

Convenors:

Dr Ginny Russell (University of Exeter)
Dr Susan Kelly (University of Exeter)


Abstract Details

Dealing with methods for mapping historical and geographical trends in secondary data analysis, the session will focus first on comparing cohorts over time in order to uncover trends, and second on innovative approaches to mapping trends over geographic regions.

It will begin with an overview of the problem of separating age-period and cohort effects, followed by a discussion whether it is possible to compare 'like-with-like' in different cohorts. Talks will then outline spatial methods to combine environmental and longitudinal cohort/panel data and explain the spatial microsimulation technique for small area data estimation, its benefits and limitations.
