Session: Administrative Data Research, Part 1

Time: Wednesday 6th July, 09:15 - 10:45

Convenor:

Professor Peter Smith (University of Southampton)

Abstract Details

Administrative data are collected by government departments and other organisations for the purposes of registration, transaction and record keeping, usually during the delivery of a service. As they contain a wealth of information, there has recently been much interest in making use of administrative data for research purposes, particularly by linking different datasets.

This session will start with an introduction to what the Administrative Data Research Network has to offer in terms of support and infrastructure. Then using various examples, how the methodological challenges when using administrative data to undertake research were overcome will be described.
