Dear Allstat,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2nd edition of our 5-day course on admin data linkage, Introduction to Using Linked Administrative Data for Social and Health Research<https://www.adrcscotland-training.info/2018-5-day-course.html>.
The course will give an introduction to administrative data, describing what it is, some of the particular problems in working with this type of data and how to deal with this. Theoretical sessions will be backed up by hands-on practical sessions, using R or Stata to write syntax to tidy, clean, and recode data; link datasets; manipulate data; conduct data visualisation; document workflow; identify data quality issues; and fit regression models. The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) synthetic data will be used in the practical exercise.
Our webpage contains the draft programme<https://www.adrcscotland-training.info/2018-programme.html> as well as some resources<https://github.com/benmatthewsed/working-with-admin-data/blob/master/references-reading-list-html.md> for the course.
Please circulate among colleagues and relevant networks.
Best regards,
