Impact Sarah Bath - University of Surrey- able to look back in time to maternal iodine status in early pregnancy so that we could explore the relationship with child cognition. Using ALSPAC was cost-effective as cognitive measures were available in the child, and samples were available from the mother which we could use for the measurement of maternal iodine status. ALSPAC, unlike many other biobanks had urine samples from very early in pregnancy - which was the time that we were interested in. Iodine and thyroid hormones are required from conception and during the first half of pregnancy the mother is the sole source of thyroid hormone and so adequate iodine is critical; we therefore wanted to measure iodine status as early as possible. ALSPAC also had dietary information, via the food frequency questionnaire completed in pregnancy, which we have been able to use in our follow-on project (EUthyroid - a Horizon 2020 project). Published our research paper in the Lancet in May 2013. Work cited as an example in Medical Research Council document "Outputs, outcomes and impact of MRC research: 2013/14 report". Publication of a fact sheet on iodine for the general public/health practitioners via the British Dietetic Association. Iodine now included in fact sheets for pregnant women by the Infant and Toddler Forum. Work cited in Dairy Council's new publication on iodine.

Title A Privacy-Preserving Data Management system for MRI and other Large Image Data 
Description ALSPAC are collecting large volumes of image data through scanning individuals at assessment clinics and also work underway as part of ALSPAC's MRC MH Pathfinder award, through linkage to images held in social media accounts. These images are individually relatively small size, but are being accessed in huge volumes - e.g. a single participants MRI scan can comprise ~12,000 separate image files. Furthermore, many images have embedded identifier values (e.g. NHS ID or name embedded in an MRI scan) or have inherently identifiable components (e.g. an individuals MRI head scan can be used to show a 3D topographic map of a persons face). This leaves study databanks with a challenge to archive large volumes of data, efficiently process them for reuse, and to de-identify them in complex ways. Through MRC MH Pathfinder, the ALSPAC Data Team and Data Linkage Team have developed an image management server with capabilities for archiving, processing and de-identification. This is built on a suite of 'open source' software packages and tuned to the needs of a longitudinal study. This new infrastructure is now operational and facilitating new research in ALSPAC. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2019 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The tool has enabled ALSPAC to lower the charges for the processing of data for reuse from £750 per project to £300 per project. The use of the tool is supporting multiple grant applications, both in the UK and USA. The tool reduces the cost of the grant compared to previous approaches as it impacts on collection and archiving as well as reuse. E.g. Elanor Hinton application to support assessment of the impact of parenthood on maternal and paternal neurobiology and subsequent child development (ALSPAC Reference: B3386, https://proposals.epi.bristol.ac.uk/?q=node/129988). The tool is supporting the MRC funded grant led by Professor Anthony David (UCL) (ALSPAC Reference: B3035, https://proposals.epi.bristol.ac.uk/?q=node/127353).

Description The ALSPAC data linkage team have worked with the UK Secure eResearch Platform team (University of Swansea) to establish an 'ALSPAC UKSeRP' secure research server and for the secure analysis of sensitive data, particularly linked routine records accessed under contract. The ALSPAC UKSeRP has been embedded in ALSPAC's linkage ethics and data sharing agreements. It has also been embedded in the study's ISO27001 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS). This is now providing the infrastructure for sharing data with bona fide users, subject to ALSPAC's project approvals process. The management of the system is governed by Standard Operating Procedures and is subject to internal and external audit assessments. We are currently in a 'Beta User' phase, once the mechanisms are fully established the resource will be promoted more widely.

Title Bristol region NOx modelled Air Pollution Dataset 
Description NOx air pollution data was modelled for the ALSPAC catchment area from 1990 to 2018. In conjunction with ALSPAC participant residential and school geocoding database this enables air pollution data exposure to be estimated and linked to participants. Using the ALGAE software ALSPAC can estimate the exposure with critical development periods (e.g. pregnancy trimesters). Directly measured air pollution records have been collected (from local authority deployed air pollution sensors) and these sensor data will be used to calibrate the modelled data. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2018

Title The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children - A resource for COVID-19 research: Antibody testing results, April - June 2021 
Description The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) is a prospective population-based cohort which recruited pregnant women in 1990-1992 and has followed these women, their partners (Generation 0; G0) and their offspring (Generation 1; G1) ever since. The study reacted rapidly and repeatedly to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, deploying multiple online questionnaires and a previous home-based antibody test in October 2020. A second antibody test, in collaboration with ten other longitudinal population studies, was completed by 4,622 ALSPAC participants between April and June 2021. Of 4,241 participants with a valid spike protein antibody test result (8.2% were void), indicating antibody response to either COVID-19 vaccination or natural infection, 3,172 were positive (74.8%). Generational differences were substantial, with 2,463/2,555 G0 participants classified positive (96.4%) compared to 709/1,686 G1 participants (42.1%). Of 4,199 participants with a valid nucleocapsid antibody test result (9.2% were void), suggesting potential and recent natural infection, 493 were positive (11.7%); 248/2,526 G0 participants (9.8%) and 245/1,673 G1 participants (14.6%) tested positive, respectively. We also compare results for this round of testing to that undertaken in October 2020. Future work will combine these test results with additional sources of data to identify participants' COVID-19 infection and vaccination status. These ALSPAC COVID-19 serology data are being complemented with linkage to health records and Public Health England pillar testing results as they become available, in addition to four previous questionnaire waves and a prior antibody test. Data have been released as an update to the previous COVID-19 datasets. These comprise: 1) a standard dataset containing all participant responses to all four previous questionnaires with key sociodemographic factors; and 2) individual participant-specific release files enabling bespoke research across all areas supported by the study. This data note describes the second ALSPAC antibody test and the data obtained from it.

Title The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children - A resource for COVID-19 research: Questionnaire data capture November 2020 - March 2021 
Description The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) is a prospective population-based cohort study which recruited pregnant women in 1990-1992 and has followed these women, their partners (Generation 0; G0) and their offspring (Generation 1; G1) ever since. The study has reacted rapidly and repeatedly to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, deploying online questionnaires throughout the pandemic. In November/December 2020, a fourth questionnaire was deployed asking about physical and mental health, lifestyle and behaviours, employment and finances. G0 participants were offered an online questionnaire between 17th November 2020 and 7th February 2021, while G1 participants were offered both online and paper questionnaires between 1st December 2020 and 19th March 2021. Of 15,844 invitations, 8,643 (55%) participants returned the questionnaire (3,101 original mothers [mean age 58.6 years], 1,172 original fathers/partners [mean age 61.5 years] and 4,370 offspring [mean age 28.4 years]). Of these 8,643 participants, 2,012 (23%) had not returned a previous COVID-19 questionnaire, while 3,575 (41%) had returned all three previous questionnaires. In this questionnaire, 300 participants (3.5%) reported a previous positive COVID-19 test, 110 (1.3%) had been told by a doctor they likely had COVID-19, and 759 (8.8%) suspected that they had had COVID-19. Based on self-reported symptoms, between October 2020 and February 2021 359 participants (4.2%) were predicted COVID-19 cases. COVID data is being complemented with linkage to health records and Public Health England pillar testing results as they become available. Data has been released as an update to the previous COVID-19 datasets. It comprises: 1) a standard dataset containing all participant responses to both questionnaires with key sociodemographic factors; and 2) as a composite release coordinating data from the existing resource, thus enabling bespoke research across all areas supported by the study. This data note describes the fourth questionnaire and the data obtained from it.

PI Contribution Since 2018/19, the CRN has invested in the ALSPAC team via development bids. CRN portfolio recruitment more than quadrupled from 2018/19 to 2019/20 and has increased again in 2020/21 due to addition of Covid-19 studies (see Table 1). In 2019/2020, the CRN nationally supported more than 6,000 studies and recruited over 732,000 participants, of which ALSPAC alone contributed 11 studies and over 18,000 participants. This contribution helped CRN WE recruit the most participants to public health studies nationally.
Collaborator Contribution CRN WE will be rolling over its budget and allocations from 2020/21 to 2021/22. Therefore, ALSPAC will receive the same financial support as 2020/21, allowing them to extend existing CRN-supported posts. Funds will be allocated to supporting activity such as the: • Development and set-up of REDCap/Teleform data collection systems and consent forms. • Day to day response to REDCap/Teleform issues. • Oversight of contact management system and scheduling of invite and reminder correspondence. ALSPAC has contributed significant and consistently increasing levels of recruitment towards West of England CRN targets in 18/19, 19/20, and 20/21. Four suggested posts to be supported by the ALSPAC allocation in 2021/22.
Impact Study recruitment metrics and output (listed here https://www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac/researchers/publications/) reflect contributions made to engagement and recruitment to the ALSPAC study.

PI Contribution I have contributed results from the analysis of ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) data to the meta-analysis. I have acted as a central analyst which has involved conducting quality control checks and reformatting of data contributed by other analysts. I have a led a side project looking at the variance explained by new markers for glycaemic traits. I have contributed to the drafting of the manuscript that will hopefully be submitted shortly.
Collaborator Contribution The other investigators in the collaboration have also contributed results from analyses run within their own cohorts and similarly although variable contributed to side projects and manuscript writing.
