Abstract
CeLSIUS is a research support unit that enables research using the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Longitudinal Study for England and Wales- the largest nationally representative longitudinal dataset in the UK.
Longitudinal studies follow the lives of individuals over a long period of time, showing us how people are affected by changes in society. The ONS Longitudinal Study contains the linked census data and some life events data of approximately one million sample members, collected over 40 years. This service is free to the user.
The sample comprises people born on one of four selected dates of birth and therefore makes up about 1% of the total population. The sample was initiated at the time of the 1971 Census, and the five dates were used to update the sample at the 1981,1991 2001 and 2011 Censuses and in vital event registrations and registration of cancer. Thus, the ONS LS represents a continuous sample of the population of England and Wales, rather than a sample taken at one time point only.
Information is also included for all people living in the same household as the ONS LS member whilst they live in the same household with the sample member. Full ONS LS members enter the study through birth on one of the four dates and immigration and existing members leave through death and emigration. The four dates are known only to a very small number of researchers based in ONS and the data is analysed in anonymised form and all results are published so that no one could be identified from them. To use the data the user must have an approved project and be an approved researcher. All research carried out must have public benefit.
What type of research does CeLSIUS support:
Associations between census data and event data
For example: studies of associations between employment status and mortality, between economic status and cancer registrations, or between socio-economic factors and fertility; and survival analysis of mortality by area deprivation.
Changes over time between censuses
For example: analysis of patterns of retirement migration; studies of the effects of divorce and remarriage on housing tenure; or comparison of changes in education, employment and migration between different decades.
Changes over time between event data sets
Studies of changes in birth spacing or associations between fertility and cancer survival.
Changes over time in population and sub groups
This is especially useful for studies of ethnic or geographical factors.
This project will continue to provide users with support in using the data and enable research to be carried out between 2020 and 2025.
The 2021 census data when added will extend the data set to cover 50 years.

| Description | We provide dedicated, expert support to users of the ONS Longitudinal Study, including research design, data extraction, data analysis and output clearance; advisory support to ONS in multiple capacities; and sit on several advisory boards. The majority of findings associated with this award therefore result from the support we provide to research projects, ONS and census research in general rather than from research we carry out ourselves. Since 2012 we have extended the ONS LS user base - many new CeLSIUS-supported projects have begun, despite this being in the post-2011/pre-2021 intercensal period and the delay to the availability of the 2021 Census data, when project numbers would be expected to fall, and the challenges to accessing the data during the pandemic. To do this, we have employed outreach, publicity and promotional activities within the economic and social sciences and policy communities, including providing resources such as thematic guides, webinars and a 'Linking Our Lives' blog and podcast series. Notable podcasts involve Prof Amanda Sacker, UCL, in conversation about her work on care with UK National Statistician Sir Ian Diamond, and Dr Catherine Bromley, then ESRC's Deputy Director of Data Strategy, on what's needed to create a digital research infrastructure that underpins ambitious and creative research. A strong social media campaign has increased our number of followers including non-academics which has extended the user base to policy-influencing groups such as the Sutton Trust. We have developed international collaborations, to share innovations/compare research with other linked census datasets around the world. Staff have presented at national and international conferences that have attendance from non-academic audiences such as BSPS to widen awareness and increase research potential and impact of the ONS LS. We have assisted in running UKCenLS training workshops and hosted a UKCenLS conference in Cardiff in 2022 (postponed from 2020) plus an online alternative. Our methodological development work includes trialling synthetic data with users and a project with CLOSER to input LS metadata into their 'Discovery' platform. We have contributed to discussions about planning the 2021 Census and its outputs including the LS and any future census replacement beyond 2021. We have submitted responses to several consultations including: the 2024 Sudlow review and the 2023 ONS consultation on the future of population and migration statistics in England and Wales, the 2024 UK Statistics Assembly. CeLSIUS was extensively involved in ONS' implementation to close full/move pre-2020 projects from MRP- to DEA-approval. NS volunteered to be one of 6 pilot projects nationally across all MRP data sets from all data sources. NS and AS piloted the application forms and process and provided written and interview feedback at several stages with the ONS team leading this work. CeLSIUS raised concerns repeatedly with ONS and involved ESRC early in the conversations and process regarding the transition from SRS to the Integrated Data Service (IDS) which led to plans for transfer being postponed until further notice and we are now collaborating with ONS on the use of the pilot platform TryDS. Examples of findings of research supported by CeLSIUS include that of Amanda Sacker et al who studied cared for children, finding in 2020 that decades after children and young people are placed in care, they are still more likely to report worse health than children who grew up in a parental household, and in 2022 that minority ethnicity affects non-parental care in positive and negative ways. These findings attracted media interest such that the researchers were invited to present their evidence at the DoE's Children's Social Care Analysis and Research Group, Sept 2021. In May 2022, its findings played a key role in providing evidence to the review and were reflected in its report and the Government's Response. Josh MacAlister, Chair of the Review, tagged @celsiusnews when he tweeted "the work of the UCL team on this research provided such important evidence to the @reviewCSC and its recommendations. Thank you!" CeLSIUS staff have also produced several publications in the period, details of which are held in the CALLS-Hub outputs repository (https://calls.ac.uk/outputs/), along with those of all research outcomes produced by the projects that CeLSIUS supports. Our work has also received media coverage: Oliver Duke-Williams' interview on talkRADIO with Darryl Morris to discuss the 2021 Census and being interview by David Cox for article in Wired about the 2021 Census (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/coronavirus-pandemic-census); CeLSIUS being referred to in a 2020 news article (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/16/our-personal-health-history-is-too-valuable-to-be-harvested-by-tech-giants). |

| Impact | We are still in the process of finalising the metadata but it has led to the ONS LS joining the CLOSER study family |
| Title | Synthetic LS datasets using Synthpop and SYLLS |
| Description | The sensitive nature of the information contained in the UKCenLSs means that access to the microdata is restricted to approved researchers and LS support staff, who can only view and work with the data in safe settings controlled by the national statistical agencies. Consequently, compared to other census data products such as the aggregate statistics or interaction data, the LSs are used by a relatively small number of researchers.The SYLLS project (Synthetic Data Estimation for UK Longitudinal Studies) was set up to develop techniques to produce synthetic data which mimics the real data and preserves the relationships between variables and transitions of individuals over time, but is more freely accessible. The project is a collaboration between the UK LS RSUs and makes use of two complementary methods for generating synthetic data products: SYLLS, a small open synthetic data set with a limited number of variables for 2001 and 2011; and Synthpop. Researchers are enabled to familiarise themselves with UKCenLS data away from the Secure Research Settings. Bespoke synthetic ONS LS data extracts were beta tested by CeLSIUS from March 2021 and the first data sets were released to users later in the year. |

| PI Contribution | CeLSIUS was granted ESRC funding to add CeLSIUS metadata to the CLOSER Discovery online resource (https://discovery.closer.ac.uk/). Work began in June 2019 and CeLSIUS will include a longitudinal data set for a restricted set of variables rather than a cross sectional data set for a wider set of variables, which is what we had originally focused on. Also, the ONS LS joined the CLOSER group of studies in September 2020, which led to a more formal three-part relationship between CeLSIUS, ONS and CLOSER. This has involved CeLSIUS joining CLOSER's Data Managers and Longitudinal Communications communities of practice, attending regular meetings, presenting to these networks on the ONS LS/CeLSIUS and contributing a blog to the CLOSER website (https://www.closer.ac.uk/news-opinion/blog/50-years-of-linking-our-lives/, published in March 2021). |
| Collaborator Contribution | CLOSER is contributing the software and processes required to add CeLSIUS metadata to Discovery. CLOSER also helps promote the ONS LS and CeLSIUS through social media and has provided communities of practice and a mailing list to enable CeLSIUS to share information with the other CLOSER-affiliated longitudinal studies. |
| Impact | A closer working relationship with a relatable group which serves to promote awareness of the ONS LS and CeLSIUS service. Also: a CeLSIUS blog (https://www.closer.ac.uk/news-opinion/blog/50-years-of-linking-our-lives/, published in March 2021); and a blog from an ONS LS user about research that CeLSIUS supported (https://www.closer.ac.uk/news-opinion/blog/have-cultural-occupations-always-been-socially-exclusive-evidence/, published in March 2021) have been published on the CLOSER website. |

| PI Contribution | CeLSIUS works closely with the NILS RSU to promote cross-LS work and raise the profile of UK Census data and longitudinal data generally. Where it's possible, we promote harmony in the presentation of information specific to our data sets. In 2012 we produced a logo in liaison with the NILS RSU and the Scottish LS DSU, which provides a uniform visual identity for all three UK LS support units. CeLSIUS, NILS RSU and SLS DSU have also worked together on a process which produces synthetic datasets based on the ONS LS, SLS and NILS which mimic but do not contain real data. This is to enable researchers to familiarise themselves with UKCenLS data away from the Secure Research Settings. Since August 2012 we have attended/participated in many joint UK LS meetings/events including training sessions and symposia. We collaborated with NILS RSU and SLS DSU on a chapter, 'Longitudinal Studies in the United Kingdom', in 'The Routledge Handbook of Census: Resources, Methods and Applications', published in 2018. In 2018 CeLSIUS also arranged and hosted a joint UKLS jiscmail list and the three UKLSs began working collectively as 'UKCenLS'. We jointly-host an annual UKCenLS conference, with the three support units taking turns to hold these events. The 2019 UKCenLS Conference, held by NILS RSU in Belfast, launched NILS RSU's funding of Small Grant Scheme cross-LS projects. Cross-LS projects have been made possible by eDatashield, a joint UKCenLS initiative (https://calls.ac.uk/guides-resources/using-more-than-one-ls-for-your-research/.) Unfortunately the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic curtailed the small grants scheme, however several of the researchers who were approved for the funding will still be applying to use cross-LS data. Since March 2021, CeLSIUS has collaborated with SLS DSU, and NILS-RSU, in the development, piloting and implementation of a joint UKCenLS Communications strategy and Impact strategy, to increase awareness and use of existing and forthcoming research. In 2023, CeLSIUS liaised with SLS and NILS to produce an annual survey of UKCenLS users. |

| PI Contribution | CeLSIUS provides expert user support for data specification, extraction and analysis of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Longitudinal Study (LS), enabling vital research to be carried out. We have supported 175 research projects since August 2012 and the number of CeLSIUS-supported projects has increased rather than declined during this period between the 2011 and 2021 Censuses. Many of these projects have been highly complex and labour-intensive and would not be possible with any other data for England and Wales. We have supported user systems updates at ONS and more stringent and time-consuming output clearance procedures during this funding phase due to changes in law. CeLSIUS staff have an expert role in explaining policies and practice on disclosure control to users and checking outputs for compliance before they are released to approved researchers. We also support users significantly in the completion of application approval paperwork for research using the LS, based on our knowledge of the data. Maintaining confidentiality and security of the data is paramount and microdata (individual level records) from the LS dataset can only be accessed within a safe setting on the Public Sector Network. This is via the ONS Secure Research Settings in Titchfield and Newport and safepods within government buildings and universities around the UK. CeLSIUS staff can run syntax and clear outputs remotely to users who cannot attend a safe setting, so we have provide user support remotely. Also, approved researchers have been able to access their existing projects from home subject to an ONS Assured Organisation Connectivity agreement. CeLSIUS supports ONS in sharing knowledge of the data with new members of their team and members of the CeLSIUS team have participated in a great many ONS-liaison meetings and events since August 2012, including LS Steering Group, LS Research Development Board, User Support Officers group and many ad hoc meetings/other events. Through this collaboration we represent LS users' interests and are able to influence LS/user support developments. We continue to extend the ONS LS user base by providing a richly-resourced website (www.ucl.ac.uk/celsius), through social media outreach and through training, publicity and promotional activities. CeLSIUS has also produced, in collaboration with the other UK LS RSUs, a synthetic dataset process to enable researchers to familiarise themselves with UKCenLS data away from the Secure Research Settings, which has been approved by our ONS partners. |
| Collaborator Contribution | ONS provides the ONS LS dataset and work space and administrative support around our use of it. |
| Impact | CeLSIUS has been notified of hundreds of outcomes of LS research that we have supported since 2012. Many of these have been published in journals or as book chapters (those published during this 2020-2025 phase will be included in the Publications section). We list ONS LS research outcomes in the 'Search outputs' database on the CALLS-Hub website: https://calls.ac.uk/outputs/. Also included are research outcomes resulting from CeLSIUS' own LS research or promotional activities. CeLSIUS outputs/outcomes that have resulted from this collaboration with ONS include: the CeLSIUS data dictionary, detailing the different variables in the ONS LS; the CALLS-Hub data dictionary, in collaboration with the other LS RSUs, which details variables from all three UK LSs; a synthetic dataset process to enable researchers to familiarise themselves with ONS LS data away from the Secure Research Settings; the Linking our Lives blog series, which showcases outstanding research using the LS (https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/linking-our-lives/); the Linking our Lives podcast series featuring conversations about LS research (https://linking-our-lives.libsyn.com/); research and policy briefs (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/epidemiology-health-care/research/epidemiology-and-public-health/research/health-and-social-surveys-research-group/studies-55); thematic guides to using ONS LS data (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/epidemiology-health-care/research/epidemiology-and-public-health/research/health-and-social-surveys-research-group/studies-20); several webinars focusing on LS/census data; 'Cohort Profile: the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study (the LS)' by Nicola Shelton and others, published in International Journal of Epidemiology, vol. 48, issue 2, 2019; 'Are 'health cohorts' real-world relevant?

| PI Contribution | CeLSIUS works closely with the SLS DSU to promote cross-LS work and raise the profile of UK Census data and longitudinal data generally. Where it's possible, we promote harmony in the presentation of information specific to our data sets. In 2012 we produced a logo in liaison with the SLS DSU and the Northern Ireland RSU, which provides a uniform visual identity for all three UK LS support units. CeLSIUS, NILS RSU and SLS DSU have worked together on a process which produces synthetic datasets based on the ONS LS, SLS and NILS which mimic but do not contain real data. This is to enable researchers to familiarise themselves with UKCenLS data away from the Secure Research Settings. Since August 2012 we have attended/participated in many joint UK LS meetings/events including training sessions and symposia. For example, in November 2019, CeLSIUS hosted two training workshops, held jointly with SLS DSU, on 'An Introduction to using the UK Census Longitudinal Studies' and 'An Introduction to using Survival Analysis Training'. We collaborated with SLS DSU and NILS RSU on a chapter, 'Longitudinal Studies in the United Kingdom', in 'The Routledge Handbook of Census:Resources, Methods and Applications', published in 2018. In 2018 CeLSIUS also arranged and hosted a joint UKLS jiscmail list and the three UKLSs began working collectively as 'UKCenLS'. We participated in the joint UKCenLS 2019 Conference, hosted by NILS RSU in Belfast, which launched NILS RSU's funding of Small Grant Scheme cross-LS projects. Cross-LS projects have been made possible by eDatashield, a joint UKCenLS initiative (https://calls.ac.uk/guides-resources/using-more-than-one-ls-for-your-research/.)
