Example National Dataset Health Surveys for England
• Available from the ESDS• Large-scale (participants * variables)
– 16000 * 1800• Annual survey since 1991• Potential for greater use• Key barrier:– Not knowing it might be of interest– extracting a research-ready subset of data
• MethodBox– Makes searching and extracting data from the ESDS
straightforward– Supports data format standards.
