About the webinar series
This ongoing webinar series aims to showcase a number of longitudinal population studies to biomedical science researchers who may be otherwise unfamiliar with the study data, what it can offer for biomedical research, and data access arrangements. The series is designed to introduce researchers to new studies that could be of use to them in their longitudinal research and investigations.
Each study presentation covers an overview of the study, what data has been collected, how to access the data, and research case studies.
Watch the introduction to the ONS Longitudinal Study
Oliver Duke-Williams & Jim Newman introduce the ONS Longitudinal Study which contains linked census and life events data for 1% of the population of England and Wales. The study has records on over 500,000 people usually resident in either England or Wales at each point in time and is largely representative of the whole population.
