Dear SP list member,
The 1st ALSPAC Social Science User Group Workshop (funded by ESRC) will be
held on Wednesday 21st May at CMPO, University of Bristol.
This is part of a programme to open up the ALSPAC resource to researchers
working in social sciences and related fields. The Avon Longitudinal Study
of Parents and Children originally recruited around 14,000 pregnant mothers
in 1991/2 and has followed the children born and their families since, with
annual sweeps for data including social, health, child development,
psychology, education and other data. Full details on the ALSPAC data
resource will be given at the Workshop and will shortly be available on line.
A final programme is attached, briefly it includes:
· 3 sessions on ALSPAC resource, including details of current data
availability and access procedures,
o David Herrick on the ALSPAC Resource
o Andy Boyd on Matching to External Data Sets
o Paul Snell on Current Data Availability & Access
