Data linking: reflections
Huge potential benefits:
• Creation of retrospective baselines and control groups
• Ability to research hard to reach groups
• Potential to research rare groups or small areas
• Long-term follow-up without expensive ‘keeping in touch’
• Potential to replace, reduce or better target surveys
• With routine data flows can deliver ongoing routine outputs
But plenty of challenges….

leading academic research practitioners

practices for downstream application in government
