Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study will improve understanding of C-19 infection risk factors, examine the physical and mental health consequences of asymptomatic to hospitalised cases, and assess the impact of population scale mitigation policy. We will unite distinct, but complementary, longitudinal studies already engaged in C-19 research, including UK representative population and hospitalised cohorts, household panel surveys, and national primary care registries. These will be enriched with health and administrative data linkage. Linkage, self-reporting and repeat serological assessment will allow greater precision in case assignment. This collective resource will be mined by a consortium of experienced analysts linked to these resources to provide rapid answers to existing and emerging priority research questions. For the first 6 months, these include short- and medium-term physical and mental health impacts of those who have had C-19 infection, risks of re-infection and role of risk factors, health effects of interruption to health care services, and the interplay between socioeconomic and health effects of viral suppression policies. Our outputs will include briefing notes as well as scientific reports in order to optimise policy influence.

Impact | On behalf of NHS England, we conducted a population-based cohort study investigating the association between warfarin and COVID-19 outcomes compared with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). We used the OpenSAFELY platform to analyse primary care data and pseudonymously linked SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing data, hospital admissions and death records from England. We found that during lockdown, some individuals were inappropriately switched from warfarin to DOACs, this led to a national alert to GPs. |

Title | 1970 British Cohort Study Response Dataset, 1970-2016 |
Description | The 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) began in 1970 when data were collected about the births and families of babies born in the United Kingdom in one particular week in 1970. Since then, there have been nine further full data collection exercises in order to monitor the cohort members' health, education, social and economic circumstances. These took place when respondents were aged 5 in 1975, aged 10 in 1980, aged 16 in 1986, aged 26 in 1996, aged 30 in 1999-2000 (SN 5558), aged 34 in 2004-2005, aged 42 in 2012 and aged 46 in 2016-18. A range of sub-sample and supplementary surveys have also been conducted, and a separate dataset covering response to BCS70 over all waves is available under SN 5641, 1970 British Cohort Study Response Dataset, 1970-2012. Further information about the BCS70 and may be found on the Centre for Longitudinal Studies website. As well as BCS70, the CLS now also conducts the NCDS series. How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys: A useful overview of the governance routes for applying for genetic and bio-medical sample data, which are not available through the UK Data Service, can be found at Governance of data and sample access on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) website. The BCS70 Response Dataset contains response outcomes for all main sweeps of BCS70 (1970-2016). The fourth edition (March 2021) includes Sweep 10 outcomes and has been streamlined by removing cases which have never participated in any main sweep survey and are no longer being issued. |

Title | Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children |
Description | ALSPAC is a longitudinal birth cohort study which enrolled pregnant women who were resident in one of three Bristol-based health districts in the former County of Avon with an expected delivery date between 1st April 1991 and 31st December 1992. Around 14,000 pregnant women were initially recruited. Detailed information has been collected on these women, their partners and subsequent children using self-completion questionnaires, data extraction from medical notes, linkage to routine information systems and from hands-on research clinics. Additional cohorts of participants have since been enrolled in their own right including fathers, siblings, children of the children and grandparents of the children. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the ALSPAC Ethics and Law Committee (IRB00003312) and Local Research Ethics. |

Title | English Longitudinal Study of Ageing: Waves 0-9, 1998-2019 |
Description | The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) is a longitudinal survey of ageing and quality of life among older people that explores the dynamic relationships between health and functioning, social networks and participation, and economic position as people plan for, move into and progress beyond retirement. The main objectives of ELSA are to: construct waves of accessible and well-documented panel data; provide these data in a convenient and timely fashion to the scientific and policy research community; describe health trajectories, disability and healthy life expectancy in a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and over; examine the relationship between economic position and health; investigate the determinants of economic position in older age; describe the timing of retirement and post-retirement labour market activity; and understand the relationships between social support, household structure and the transfer of assets. Further information may be found on the ELSA project website, the Institute for Fiscal Studies: ELSA and Natcen Social Research: ELSA web pages. Health conditions research with ELSA - June 2021 The ELSA Data team have found some issues with historical data measuring health conditions. If you are intending to do any analysis looking at the following health conditions, then please contact elsadata@natcen.ac.uk for advice on how you should approach your analysis. The affected conditions are: eye conditions (glaucoma; diabetic eye disease; macular degeneration; cataract), CVD conditions (high blood pressure; angina; heart attack; Congestive Heart Failure; heart murmur; abnormal heart rhythm; diabetes; stroke; high cholesterol; other heart trouble) and chronic health conditions (chronic lung disease; asthma; arthritis; osteoporosis; cancer; Parkinson's Disease; emotional, nervous or psychiatric problems; Alzheimer's Disease; dementia; malignant blood disorder; multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease). How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys: A useful overview of the governance routes for applying for genetic and bio-medical sample data, which are not available through the UK Data Service, can be found at Governance of data and sample access on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) web site. Harmonised dataset: The Harmonised dataset is originally compiled in Stata, and contains extra alphabetic missing value codes. An SPSS version is also deposited, but as SPSS does not accommodate alphabetic missing value codes in numeric variables, the codes have transferred as long numeric codes. While the missing values are fully labelled, users should be aware that only the Stata alphabetic codes are described in the documentation. Users who prefer to use the Stata version will need access to Stata SE/MP software, as the file contains over 2,047 variables (the limit for the standard Stata 'Intercooled' version). ELSA COVID-19 study: A separate ad-hoc study conducted with ELSA respondents, measuring the socio-economic effects/psychological impact of the lockdown on the aged 50+ population of England, is also available under SN 8688, English Longitudinal Study of Ageing COVID-19 Study. Wave 1 was first released on 30 September 2020. Latest edition of ELSA: For the 35th edition (July 2021), mortality variables Mortstat, Yrdeath, agedead2 and maincod have been removed from the index file at the depositor's request, due to finalised agreement with NHS Digital. |

Title | MRC NSHD 2013-2018 Data |
Description | The MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD) has informed UK health care, education and social policy for more than 50 years and is the oldest and longest running of the British birth cohort studies. Today, with study members in their seventies, the NSHD offers a unique opportunity to explore the long-term biological and social processes of ageing and how ageing is affected by factors acting across the whole of life. From an initial maternity survey of 5362 births recorded in England, Scotland and Wales during one week of March 1946, a socially stratified sample of singleton babies born to married parents was selected for follow-up. These participants have been studied over twenty times throughout their life. During their childhood, the main aim of the NSHD was to investigate how the environment at home and at school affected physical and mental development and educational attainment. During adulthood, the main aim was to investigate how childhood health and development and lifetime social circumstances affected their adult health and function and their change with age. Now, as participants have reached retirement, the research team is developing the NSHD into a life course study of ageing. Study members were asked to attend a clinic at age 60-64 for a range of assessments (or alternatively have a home visit). They were invited for a home visit at 69 years, updating information on health, lifestyle and life circumstances as well as obtaining repeat physical and cognitive measurements. Postal questionnaires were completed before the clinic and home visits. A subset of 500 study members are also being invited to participate in a Neuroscience sub-study. This publication covers data from the NSHD for the years 2013 to 2018. The cohort study is ongoing and further data collections are being added, while component data sets are separately referable. |

Title | Millennium Cohort Study |
Description | Socio-emotional behaviours in early childhood, including self-regulation, emotional problems, and peer problems, have been shown to individually influence academic achievement in primary and secondary school. Environmental and demographic factors have also been shown to influence a child's academic development. The current study extends previous work to consider - concurrently, using structural equation modelling - a broader array of antecedents and measures of social-emotional development to understand their relative effects on academic outcomes. Parent-report data on a nationally representative sample of children (n = 17,035) at ages 3 and 5 years, and academic assessment at age 7, were drawn from the Millennium Cohort Study for longitudinal modelling. Results indicate the individual and collective contribution of socio-emotional, environmental, and demographic antecedents, expanding the current literature on predictors of child academic achievement in primary school. The results suggest that malleable factors in early childhood are important predictors of later academic success, and thus may be viable targets for intervention. |

Title | National Child Development Study: Activity Histories, 1974-2013 |
Description | The National Child Development Study (NCDS) originated in the Perinatal Mortality Survey (see SN 5565), which examined social and obstetric factors associated with still birth and infant mortality among over 17,000 babies born in Britain in one week in March 1958. Surviving members of this birth cohort have been surveyed on eight further occasions in order to monitor their changing health, education, social and economic circumstances - in 1965 at age 7, 1969 at age 11, 1974 at age 16 (the first three sweeps are also held under SN 5565), 1981 (age 23 - SN 5566), 1991 (age 33 - SN 5567), 1999/2000 (age 41/2 - SN 5578), 2004-2005 (age 46/47 - SN 5579), 2008-2009 (age 50 - SN 6137) and 2013 (age 55 - SN 7669). There have also been surveys of sub-samples of the cohort, the most recent occurring in 1995 (age 37), when a 10% representative sub-sample was assessed for difficulties with basic skills (SN 4992). Finally, during 2002-2004, 9,340 NCDS cohort members participated in a bio-medical survey, carried out by qualified nurses (SN 5594, available under more restrictive Special Licence access conditions; see catalogue record for details). The bio-medical survey did not cover any of the topics included in the 2004/2005 survey. Further NCDS data separate to the main surveys include a response and deaths dataset, parent migration studies, employment, activity and partnership histories, behavioural studies and essays - see the NCDS series page for details. Further information about the NCDS can be found on the Centre for Longitudinal Studies website. How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys: A useful overview of the governance routes for applying for genetic and bio-medical sample data, which are not available through the UK Data Service, can be found at Governance of data and sample access on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) website. The purpose of the National Child Development Study: Activity Histories, 1974-2013 was to merge all data on work and non-work activities in successive sweeps into one longitudinal dataset. Data on work and non-work activities lasting one month or more have been collected in all NCDS sweeps from sweep 4 (age 23) onwards. The focus of the questions asked at each sweep vary from: work activities engaged in since leaving school (sweep 4 aged 23); work and non-work activities engaged in since leaving school (sweep 5, aged 33); work and non-work activities engaged in since the last sweep (sweep 6, aged 42); work and non-work activities engaged in since the last sweep or aged 16 (sweep 7, aged 46) work and non-work activities engaged in since 2000, or 2004 if included in sweep 7 (sweep 8, aged 50), work and non-work activities engaged in since 2004, or 2008 if included in sweep 8 (sweep 9, aged 55). Therefore the activity histories will start from the time that the cohort member left school and continue until the interview date of the latest data sweep that each cohort member participated in. The lengths of the activity histories vary depending on the latest sweep that a cohort member was present at. The minimum activity history length recorded is 1 month and the maximum is 480 months (40 years). Gaps in the activity histories occur where a cohort member has not been present at all sweeps and/or where full activity data were not reported. An employment histories dataset was previously created (Ward, 2007). This work was undertaken as part of the Gender Network Project. The current work on NCDS activity histories builds on this previous activity history and incorporates various cleaning of the data. This previous employment history included data up to sweep 7 (2004) only, did not deal with any non-work activities and did not identify duplicate activities (i.e. where an activity was reported again in a later sweep). Latest Edition Information For the second edition (June 2016) the data and documentation were updated to include the latest NCDS wave, extending coverage to 2013. |

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 | Descriptive documentation to inform file handling and processing. Managing of timelines to deliver against milestones. Contracting and governance framework. Contracted Swansea University to develop new data processing capability for NHS DHCW. |
Collaborator Contribution | Data processor. Unique systems and expertise for the processing and de-identification of data and sending to NHS Digital and the University of Leicester for linkage. Provision of unique linkage key for the linkage of welsh health data. |
Impact | New data pipelines enabling DHCW to act as 'linkage broker' for UK LLC and contributing LPS. These have been used to (1) link studies to NHS Digital health records and (2) geocode participant address data and link this to environmental exposure models. This functionality is being extended to NHS Scotland and Wales records and an application is in place to use this to link to administrative records held by HM Revenue & Customs, Department for Work and Pensions and Department for Education via Office for National Statistics. The data arising from this are being used in multiple research projects for the National Core Studies programme. |

PI Contribution | The UK LLC is a central resource for researchers across the Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing (LH&W) Programme, to address a range of questions central to the national Core Studies Programme where pooled and linked longitudinal study data are needed. The UK LLC has enabled the sharing of information across the studies and uniquely provisioned this through one easy access route to the analysts associated with LH&W. |
Collaborator Contribution | UCL partners are the key liaison with funders and co-ordinators of the wider LH&W programme. The analysts within UCL formed the key group representing the beta users of the system. Some of the studies based in UCL formed the original 'UK LLC think-tank' or Vanguard. UCL LHW members sit on UK LLC Executive. |
Impact | * Development of UK LLC funded through LH&W NCS * LH&W analysts early adopters of UK LLC and co-developing UK LLC processes * LH&W Executive members are supporting the UK LLC partnership beyond LH&W * LH&W led to wider collaborations including with HDR UK & ONS Data & Connectivity NCS, with Health and Safety Executive and with OpenSAFELY - these are leading to grant funding and scientific applications |

PI Contribution | Long-term health consequences of C-19 (long-COVID) occur frequently. Most infections are not hospitalised; population studies are the place to understand individual and societal challenges of long-COVID. We have an established consortium of experts and platforms uniting linked national primary care registries and population cohorts. The national coverage of primary care registries captures all individuals presenting to their GP, with linked prescribing, consulting, referral and outcome data. Many with long-COVID do not seek care. Population cohorts, with repeat C-19 related questionnaires, overcome this limitation. Further, the standardised pre-pandemic health data enables dissection of the effects of infection versus progression of co-morbidity. Parallel analysis of cohorts and registries will address each question. With NICE, we will quantify adherence to diagnostic and management guidelines in GP records, and pilot a pop-up intervention to enhance adherence. Our findings will enhance diagnostic criteria, identify pathways for bespoke sub-phenotype intervention, and inform plans for health service delivery. |

Results and Impact | Longitudinal population studies (LPS) currently face a range of challenges. With the world still dealing with COVID-19 and its far-reaching impacts, the value of longitudinal studies, with the wealth of data already collected in the years before the pandemic, and their ability to track individuals during and after the pandemic, has never been greater. But what will these studies look like in a post-COVID world? How will the experiences during the pandemic influence approaches to policy engagement and impact, the adoption of novel approaches to data collection and emerging technologies, and to participant and public engagement? How are studies harnessing the opportunities that have arisen during the pandemic and what learning has been gained? Following the success of CLOSER's 2018 and 2020 Preparing for the future conferences, in January 2022 we brought the LPS community together again to identify ways to tackle shared challenges. This online conference, delivered over three days, was a collaborative, interactive event with a strong focus on sharing best practice and problem solving. The programme was shaped by consultation with UK and international longitudinal studies. Each session involved short presentations of exemplar work in a given area, followed by facilitated group discussions and the chance for delegates to share their own experiences. The conference addressed the following topics: The impact of COVID-19 on longitudinal population studies Influencing policy Data linkage New forms of data collection Participant and public engagement Influencing policy Partnerships facilitate policy translation - a case study from Growing Up in New Zealand -Susan Morton, Growing Up in New Zealand Watch the talk | Download the slides [PDF] | View the illustrated summary [JPG] Generating policy impact: insights from Understanding Society Policy and Partnerships Unit - Raj Patel, Understanding Society Watch the talk | Download the slides [PDF] | View the illustrated summary [JPG] |
