Longitudinal Population Studies
All of our partner Longitudinal Population Studies retain control of their participants’ data and which research projects are approved for data access.
Our Partner Longitudinal Population Studies
We have so far collated data from more than 20 Longitudinal Population Studies (LPS) into our Trusted Research Environment (TRE). Data collected about LPS participants include demographics, education, employment, lifestyle and physical and mental health.
