Dear All,
As some of you will know, this study involves face-to-face interviews with a representative sample of just under 3,000 adults with intellectual disabilities in England covering a very wide range of life experiences. The results will be published in July (by the new Health & Social Care Information Centre) and the raw data will be deposited in the UK Data Archive sometime in the summer. These data will be freely available to researchers (and students) for the purposes of secondary analysis and teaching.
I was thinking of organising a small low-cost seminar/conference (max 30 people) in September at Lancaster for people who may be interested in accessing and using these data. The idea would be to give people an overview of the survey and explore the possibility of some kind of low-level co-ordination of its use (there are so few of us, it seems rather a waste for different people/groups to be working in isolation on similar issues).
All I need to know at the moment is whether you may be interested in attending such a seminar? If there is sufficient interest, I'll try to set something up.
Eric Emerson
