This webinar showcased how you can get the most out of standardised scales and lists functionality in our Discovery research tool. Videos and slides from the session are available below.
About the webinar
Earlier this summer, we added a new standardised scales section to our Discovery research tool for UK longitudinal population studies.
This exciting update means it is now much easier to determine if questions from 11 CLOSER studies’ questionnaires belong to a standardised scale and identify where these scales are used across the studies and waves of data collection.
In this Metadata management in the real world webinar, our data discoverability team walked through this new functionality, showcasing how you can now easily identify which scales are included and download study data with the confidence that it includes valid measures of the concepts you’re investigating.
We also demonstrated the different ways you can use lists in CLOSER Discovery to enhance your use of the research tool.
