  • 00:00:05
    good afternoon everyone and thank you
  • 00:00:07
    for coming to hear about understanding
  • 00:00:09
    Society I'm gonna kind of whisk through
  • 00:00:12
    quite a lot of things about how
  • 00:00:15
    understanding Society can be used for
  • 00:00:17
    research on uh biomedical research
  • 00:00:20
    um I've got lots of web pages and things
  • 00:00:22
    as I go on my slides so um if you don't
  • 00:00:25
    manage to pick them up now as uh Emma
  • 00:00:28
    said they will be made available
  • 00:00:30
    um later
  • 00:00:32
    so understanding Society
  • 00:00:35
    is so I'll just get rid of this thing
  • 00:00:37
    about this but understanding Society is
  • 00:00:39
    a multi-purpose household panel survey
  • 00:00:41
    which began in 2009 and it has a small
  • 00:00:44
    kind of replica study if you like called
  • 00:00:48
    The Innovation panel where we do lots of
  • 00:00:49
    experimenting and I'll say more about
  • 00:00:51
    that later it builds on a very
  • 00:00:54
    long-standing study called the British
  • 00:00:56
    household panel study which began in
  • 00:00:58
    1991
  • 00:00:59
    um so there's a kind of a long history
  • 00:01:01
    here
  • 00:01:02
    at the first wave of understanding
  • 00:01:04
    Society our Target was to get 40 000
  • 00:01:06
    households which is about a hundred
  • 00:01:08
    thousand people and again I'll say a bit
  • 00:01:10
    more in a minute about the kind of
  • 00:01:11
    different samples that make up uh the
  • 00:01:14
    understanding Society study
  • 00:01:16
    understanding Society has a sequential
  • 00:01:19
    mix mode field work design and again
  • 00:01:22
    based on Research with our Innovation
  • 00:01:24
    panel we decided to go down this road so
  • 00:01:26
    people who invite from the Seventh Wave
  • 00:01:29
    of the study people are invited to take
  • 00:01:31
    part either web or face to face and if
  • 00:01:34
    they don't accept that after a few weeks
  • 00:01:36
    then they're offered the other and then
  • 00:01:38
    if they don't do either of those we try
  • 00:01:40
    to contact them by telephone and and
  • 00:01:42
    this is a kind of good way of capturing
  • 00:01:44
    lots of people who want to do things in
  • 00:01:46
    different ways but it also fortuitously
  • 00:01:49
    meant that during the pandemic we had no
  • 00:01:52
    disruption in our field work we kept
  • 00:01:54
    going because we just dropped face to
  • 00:01:56
    face and continued with web or telephone
  • 00:01:59
    understanding societies are publicly
  • 00:02:01
    available data set I'll say more about
  • 00:02:03
    how you access it later but there's a
  • 00:02:05
    lot of people download it mainly
  • 00:02:07
    academics and it's used internationally
  • 00:02:09
    and if you're interested in comparative
  • 00:02:12
    research it's part of a family of
  • 00:02:13
    international Health household surveys
  • 00:02:16
    that are conducted in a range of
  • 00:02:18
    different countries and there's a
  • 00:02:19
    harmonization project uh called cnaf
  • 00:02:21
    which is on the screen and hence you
  • 00:02:25
    could look at further if you're
  • 00:02:26
    interested in comparative research
  • 00:02:29
    so understanding Society is a panel
  • 00:02:31
    study which is a bit different to a lot
  • 00:02:32
    of the studies in closer which are
  • 00:02:34
    cohort studies so understanding Society
  • 00:02:37
    is based on probability of sample of
  • 00:02:39
    postcodes which enables us to kind of
  • 00:02:42
    provide representative data of the UK
  • 00:02:45
    households and it follows people of all
  • 00:02:49
    ages so because we interview people each
  • 00:02:51
    year we interview parents before
  • 00:02:53
    children are born then we kind of ask
  • 00:02:55
    dates ask questions about the children
  • 00:02:57
    from age zero
  • 00:02:59
    when people attend we start asking them
  • 00:03:02
    questions themselves and we have members
  • 00:03:04
    of our panel who are over 100. there's a
  • 00:03:07
    lot of some sizes I I mentioned so that
  • 00:03:10
    enables subgroup analyzes so for example
  • 00:03:12
    we have 500 births a year we have kind
  • 00:03:15
    of um
  • 00:03:16
    10 000 people per birth decade cohort so
  • 00:03:20
    there's kind of lots of different ways
  • 00:03:21
    you can cut the study up to do different
  • 00:03:23
    analyzes we are in the field all the
  • 00:03:26
    time so every person is interviewed
  • 00:03:28
    annually but each wave takes two years
  • 00:03:31
    so they overlap but what that means is
  • 00:03:34
    people do research with understanding
  • 00:03:36
    Society for example that looks at the
  • 00:03:37
    weather because they can track daily
  • 00:03:39
    weather and map it to the answers that
  • 00:03:41
    people give
  • 00:03:43
    again I'll say a little bit more about
  • 00:03:44
    this in a second but we cover multiple
  • 00:03:46
    domains so I kind of think the strength
  • 00:03:48
    of understanding Society is being able
  • 00:03:50
    to do research that links different
  • 00:03:52
    aspects of people's lives I think
  • 00:03:55
    as with many multi-purpose surveys
  • 00:03:57
    anyone with a real specialist
  • 00:03:59
    um focus to their research will get
  • 00:04:01
    frustrated but we have only a few
  • 00:04:04
    questions on that topic so the value is
  • 00:04:06
    in being able to combine it with other
  • 00:04:08
    subjects
  • 00:04:10
    um the whole household is interviewed so
  • 00:04:12
    you can kind of look at how couples
  • 00:04:13
    relate to each other in their answers or
  • 00:04:15
    parents and children and then over time
  • 00:04:18
    as people have grown up and moved out it
  • 00:04:21
    means we have multiple Generations both
  • 00:04:22
    within and across households so you can
  • 00:04:25
    look at that intergenerational aspect of
  • 00:04:27
    family life
  • 00:04:28
    there's a natural refreshment to the
  • 00:04:31
    study so as households change people are
  • 00:04:33
    born people will move in together those
  • 00:04:36
    new people new household members become
  • 00:04:39
    members of the study as kids leave home
  • 00:04:41
    we follow them as well as staying uh
  • 00:04:44
    with the kind of original household they
  • 00:04:45
    started in so there's a kind of natural
  • 00:04:47
    Dynamic to the study in the same way as
  • 00:04:50
    there's a dynamic uh to people's
  • 00:04:52
    household lives and we ask consent for
  • 00:04:55
    data linkage we have a lot of different
  • 00:04:57
    Geographic identifiers and most of our
  • 00:05:00
    data is at the UK data service again
  • 00:05:03
    I'll say more about this and we provide
  • 00:05:05
    a lot of support to users around both
  • 00:05:07
    how to use the data and how to promote
  • 00:05:09
    policy impact from it
  • 00:05:11
    so I think there were six aspects of
  • 00:05:13
    understanding society that are useful
  • 00:05:15
    for biomedical research there's the main
  • 00:05:17
    panel survey in which when we deposit
  • 00:05:19
    the next wave in November will mean
  • 00:05:21
    there are 29 waves of bhps and 12 ways
  • 00:05:24
    of understanding Society
  • 00:05:26
    secondly at waves two to three and now
  • 00:05:29
    funded for wave 16 we did a biomarker
  • 00:05:32
    data collection and I'll say them all
  • 00:05:34
    about that in a minute uh we did a covid
  • 00:05:37
    survey
  • 00:05:38
    um kind of monthly through 2020 and 2021
  • 00:05:41
    we have data linkage linked to NHS data
  • 00:05:45
    we have an innovation panel where we do
  • 00:05:47
    experiments where we have done quite a
  • 00:05:49
    lot of experiments about how to collect
  • 00:05:50
    biomarker data and we have genetics and
  • 00:05:53
    epigenetics data available so I'm going
  • 00:05:56
    to just briefly run through very briefly
  • 00:05:58
    looking at the time and these six
  • 00:06:00
    different data streams that might be
  • 00:06:01
    useful for the research you do
  • 00:06:03
    so the main survey has a number of
  • 00:06:06
    different samples it has the general
  • 00:06:07
    population so
  • 00:06:09
    I'm sorry which is uh representative of
  • 00:06:12
    UK households but then we boosted ethnic
  • 00:06:15
    minorities so at wave one we boosted the
  • 00:06:17
    five main ethnic groups in the UK and
  • 00:06:20
    then at wave six uh we did a second
  • 00:06:22
    booth for the Immigrant and ethnic
  • 00:06:24
    minority where we reboosted those groups
  • 00:06:27
    and added new immigrants who had moved
  • 00:06:29
    to the UK since 2009 and as I mentioned
  • 00:06:32
    earlier we've Incorporated the British
  • 00:06:34
    household panel study so as an annual
  • 00:06:37
    survey we have year-on-year response
  • 00:06:39
    rates around 1995 for the general
  • 00:06:42
    population sample and the ethnic and the
  • 00:06:44
    bhps and about 75 to 85 for the two
  • 00:06:48
    immigrant uh and ethnic minority boost
  • 00:06:51
    samples during the pandemic we lost one
  • 00:06:54
    or two percent to those numbers as we
  • 00:06:57
    weren't able to do face-to-face
  • 00:06:58
    interviewing but we're now returning to
  • 00:07:00
    face to face so we hope to be able to
  • 00:07:01
    kind of push that back up and we're
  • 00:07:05
    currently in the field with a new Boost
  • 00:07:07
    sample of the general population to kind
  • 00:07:09
    of add to our numbers again these data
  • 00:07:12
    are at the data archive and that's the
  • 00:07:14
    study number and there's a big set of
  • 00:07:16
    information about it on our website
  • 00:07:19
    so it's I've got to slide in a second on
  • 00:07:22
    the health data that we have but this is
  • 00:07:24
    just to give you a sense of some of the
  • 00:07:26
    other kinds of data that and your
  • 00:07:27
    understanding Society collects so every
  • 00:07:30
    year we ask people the same questions
  • 00:07:32
    about kind of changes in their household
  • 00:07:34
    or their employment or their partnership
  • 00:07:36
    or where they live or their job uh how
  • 00:07:39
    that's changed from the previous year
  • 00:07:41
    about their income transport consumption
  • 00:07:44
    all sorts of things then we have a set
  • 00:07:46
    of rotating modules where we kind of
  • 00:07:50
    seek and consult with our user
  • 00:07:52
    communities about what's important and
  • 00:07:54
    these rotates are on a couple of wave
  • 00:07:57
    cycle so we've just refreshed our
  • 00:08:00
    environmental Behavior questions that
  • 00:08:01
    will go into the field next year we have
  • 00:08:04
    a whole set of questions about political
  • 00:08:06
    engagement we just released a special
  • 00:08:08
    data set on that so there's a whole set
  • 00:08:10
    of topics that you could link to health
  • 00:08:13
    for biomedical research
  • 00:08:16
    we ask a set of initial conditions when
  • 00:08:19
    people first join a survey whether
  • 00:08:21
    that's a wave one or because they've
  • 00:08:22
    moved into an understanding Society
  • 00:08:24
    household around their childhood and
  • 00:08:27
    their migration and their histories
  • 00:08:29
    around employment and partnership and
  • 00:08:30
    facility
  • 00:08:32
    uh all those things I just mentioned are
  • 00:08:34
    in the adult questionnaire but we also
  • 00:08:36
    have a youth questionnaire where we
  • 00:08:38
    start asking people questions at age 10
  • 00:08:40
    about their family life their behaviors
  • 00:08:42
    things that happen at school friendships
  • 00:08:45
    about their attitude political attitudes
  • 00:08:47
    and their aspirations and expectations
  • 00:08:49
    for the future
  • 00:08:52
    in terms of health we kind of have a
  • 00:08:54
    range of domains of health questions
  • 00:08:56
    some of which are part of our core
  • 00:08:58
    questionnaire so uh kind of global
  • 00:09:00
    measures of Health Doctor diagnosis of
  • 00:09:03
    specific conditions various scales like
  • 00:09:06
    the sf12 or GHQ activities of daily
  • 00:09:09
    living that are asked regularly and then
  • 00:09:11
    on a rotating basis we have things like
  • 00:09:14
    measures of well-being and use of Health
  • 00:09:18
    Care very detailed questions about use
  • 00:09:22
    of social care and who gives people
  • 00:09:23
    support for social care and a range of
  • 00:09:26
    questions about health behaviors and
  • 00:09:28
    measures of sleep Pittsburgh's sleep
  • 00:09:30
    questionnaire we did a quite a big
  • 00:09:34
    cognition questionnaire at wave three
  • 00:09:36
    and again we're repeating that again at
  • 00:09:39
    wave 16.
  • 00:09:40
    for 15 to 21 year olds as well as these
  • 00:09:43
    quests getting these questions they also
  • 00:09:45
    get uh kind of extra questions about
  • 00:09:48
    smoking and drinking and illegal drug
  • 00:09:50
    use which map onto the questions where
  • 00:09:52
    they were asked when they were 10 to 15
  • 00:09:54
    around those sorts of Health behaviors
  • 00:09:56
    but
  • 00:09:57
    15 year olds we are some general
  • 00:10:00
    questions about their health we asked
  • 00:10:02
    the sdq and we asked things measures of
  • 00:10:05
    self-esteem and and life satisfaction
  • 00:10:08
    under 10 we identify what we call the
  • 00:10:11
    responsible adult generally the mother
  • 00:10:12
    who asks a range of questions answers a
  • 00:10:15
    range of questions about their children
  • 00:10:17
    at specific ages around development
  • 00:10:19
    stages sdq
  • 00:10:21
    then when um a woman tells us she's
  • 00:10:24
    pregnant we ask about how the baby was
  • 00:10:27
    conceived and about delivery any
  • 00:10:29
    complications we ask about the mother's
  • 00:10:32
    behavior during pregnancy for example
  • 00:10:35
    smoking and drinking and then we ask a
  • 00:10:36
    set of questions around kind of early
  • 00:10:39
    life like birth wage gestation
  • 00:10:41
    breastfeeding and things like that
  • 00:10:45
    so that was the worst
  • 00:10:46
    the whistle of the
  • 00:10:48
    survey moving on to the biomarker data
  • 00:10:51
    collection so at waves two and three uh
  • 00:10:54
    the main interview was followed up by a
  • 00:10:56
    nurse visit and about 20 000 people had
  • 00:10:59
    this interview they were asked a range
  • 00:11:01
    of questions about their health on that
  • 00:11:03
    day and then the nurse took on physical
  • 00:11:06
    measures pretty standard things height
  • 00:11:08
    weight waste body fat blood pressure
  • 00:11:10
    lung function and grip strength
  • 00:11:12
    they took a blood sample at the time
  • 00:11:14
    which was frozen because they didn't
  • 00:11:16
    have funds to do anything with it but
  • 00:11:17
    we've since analyzed it for 21 analytes
  • 00:11:20
    where we have about 13 and a half
  • 00:11:22
    thousand people with these data things
  • 00:11:25
    like cholesterol hba1c different
  • 00:11:27
    measures of inflammation and anemia
  • 00:11:30
    liver and kidney function and some
  • 00:11:32
    hormones
  • 00:11:33
    this week oh this month rather this week
  • 00:11:35
    the data is going to the data archive so
  • 00:11:37
    it will be available to you uh in about
  • 00:11:40
    a month's time we've added a proteomics
  • 00:11:42
    panel of 140 184 proteins based on an
  • 00:11:48
    o-link cardiometabolic a neurology panel
  • 00:11:51
    and that's on about 6 000 people we're
  • 00:11:54
    also adding to the data some epigenetic
  • 00:11:56
    clocks that users have produced in some
  • 00:11:58
    polygenetic risk scores I'll say a
  • 00:12:00
    little bit more about that in a second
  • 00:12:03
    um but but basically we're adding all
  • 00:12:05
    that to the data set and then we also
  • 00:12:07
    have another set of analytes we're
  • 00:12:09
    hoping to add by the end of the year
  • 00:12:11
    including things like apoe
  • 00:12:15
    so the third data stream I wanted to
  • 00:12:17
    mention was our covid survey so we
  • 00:12:19
    started this in April 2020 when
  • 00:12:22
    everybody who'd Taken part in the
  • 00:12:23
    previous main wave was invited to a web
  • 00:12:26
    survey we consulted on questions and we
  • 00:12:29
    ended up with a core set of questions
  • 00:12:31
    around people's experience of covid
  • 00:12:33
    whether they'd been ill whether they'd
  • 00:12:36
    kind of been contacted by track and
  • 00:12:38
    Trace vaccines all those sorts of things
  • 00:12:40
    as well as their employment whether they
  • 00:12:42
    were furloughed and working at home
  • 00:12:44
    their finances during this period their
  • 00:12:47
    experience of homeschooling children and
  • 00:12:49
    their mental health and then there was a
  • 00:12:50
    whole set of rotating modules kind of
  • 00:12:52
    related to what we carry in the main
  • 00:12:54
    survey caring social networks contact
  • 00:12:57
    with family all sorts of things so that
  • 00:13:00
    you could look at how people's lives or
  • 00:13:02
    how yeah how people experienced their
  • 00:13:04
    lives during the pandemic compared to
  • 00:13:06
    their lives before and now afterwards so
  • 00:13:09
    we did web surveys every month in 2020
  • 00:13:12
    pretty much and then quarterly in 2020
  • 00:13:15
    one we did a telephone survey a couple
  • 00:13:18
    of times and with people who weren't
  • 00:13:20
    regular web users and in March 2021
  • 00:13:23
    along with a whole range of other
  • 00:13:25
    longitudinal studies we added an antigen
  • 00:13:28
    test and consent to linkage to the NHS
  • 00:13:30
    so these data are also available at the
  • 00:13:33
    data archive
  • 00:13:36
    so in terms of data linkage we have like
  • 00:13:39
    many other longitudinal studies been
  • 00:13:41
    asking for consent to link to a range of
  • 00:13:43
    admining data sets and we're currently
  • 00:13:46
    at wave 12 we've been talking to some of
  • 00:13:48
    these data owners since wave one to try
  • 00:13:51
    and get linkage it's um
  • 00:13:53
    it's the thorn in all our sides but
  • 00:13:56
    anyway we have linkage for MPD and uh
  • 00:13:59
    vehicle details dbla linkage is already
  • 00:14:02
    available and by the end of this year we
  • 00:14:05
    should have linked credit histories and
  • 00:14:07
    uh pension information and we think
  • 00:14:09
    Welsh and Scottish Health Data and next
  • 00:14:11
    year we're reasonably confident that you
  • 00:14:14
    can never kind of be totally confident
  • 00:14:15
    until it's there that we will have need
  • 00:14:18
    data which is the Energy Efficiency of
  • 00:14:21
    households Twitter data and linkage to
  • 00:14:23
    people's um businesses well the
  • 00:14:26
    businesses they work for as employers
  • 00:14:28
    and there's more information about that
  • 00:14:30
    on our website again like many of the
  • 00:14:33
    other longitudinal surveys during our
  • 00:14:36
    Kobe survey we requested consent from
  • 00:14:39
    our participants to link to their health
  • 00:14:41
    data and those data are linked now for
  • 00:14:44
    covid-19 research only on the UK
  • 00:14:48
    longitudinal linkage collaboration
  • 00:14:50
    trusted research environment and so you
  • 00:14:53
    can and get linked understanding society
  • 00:14:56
    and NHS data if you have a research
  • 00:14:58
    question that's relevant to covid as I
  • 00:15:01
    understand it
  • 00:15:02
    um they are trying to broaden that remit
  • 00:15:05
    at the moment so that will hopefully
  • 00:15:07
    that provider that you can only do
  • 00:15:09
    research will
  • 00:15:11
    um be gone soon so you can do it for any
  • 00:15:13
    research questions that interest you
  • 00:15:16
    where you would want linked data
  • 00:15:20
    so I mentioned that we have an
  • 00:15:22
    innovation panel this is our fifth data
  • 00:15:24
    stream that might be useful to you so
  • 00:15:26
    the Innovation panel is a small version
  • 00:15:27
    of understanding Society where we carry
  • 00:15:29
    out methodological testing and
  • 00:15:32
    experiments it's run each year it
  • 00:15:35
    carries our core questions and then
  • 00:15:37
    methodological testing that we need to
  • 00:15:39
    do for our main survey but we also have
  • 00:15:42
    an open competition that's launched
  • 00:15:43
    every February for
  • 00:15:46
    um users or per people to put forward
  • 00:15:48
    experiments that they would like carried
  • 00:15:51
    out so there have been quite a few
  • 00:15:53
    different experiments in the past about
  • 00:15:55
    the wording of different health
  • 00:15:57
    questions and how people respond to that
  • 00:15:59
    and as I mentioned earlier we had a full
  • 00:16:03
    wave which I the next slide's about
  • 00:16:05
    where we got people to collect
  • 00:16:07
    biological biological samples for
  • 00:16:09
    themselves other things that might be
  • 00:16:11
    interested is in ip13 which is available
  • 00:16:14
    now we um ask people to download and use
  • 00:16:17
    a well-being app ip15 is currently in
  • 00:16:20
    the field and we're doing some more
  • 00:16:22
    self-measurement where we're getting
  • 00:16:23
    people to measure their waist and hips
  • 00:16:25
    themselves by sending them a tape
  • 00:16:27
    measure and they're also using a body
  • 00:16:29
    shape app so they take a selfie of
  • 00:16:31
    themselves which is just a outline and
  • 00:16:34
    then from that an algorithm calculates
  • 00:16:37
    uh the wrist and hip and other
  • 00:16:40
    measurements they're then interviewed so
  • 00:16:43
    that we can check how well this body
  • 00:16:46
    shape app manages to do that
  • 00:16:48
    and then at ip16 we're planning to ask
  • 00:16:51
    people to input data from the red book
  • 00:16:54
    on Child Development I and both kind of
  • 00:16:56
    do it in a way when they photograph it
  • 00:16:58
    or download data or they just type in a
  • 00:17:01
    few numbers to see which they're more
  • 00:17:02
    willing to do
  • 00:17:05
    so ip12 and these data in the data
  • 00:17:08
    archive so you could do
  • 00:17:10
    um experiments with this studying
  • 00:17:12
    experiments you could look at these
  • 00:17:13
    experiments and re-analyze them
  • 00:17:14
    yourselves if you're interested we
  • 00:17:17
    randomly allocated people to three arms
  • 00:17:19
    one where they were interviewed by a
  • 00:17:21
    nurse one where they were interviewed by
  • 00:17:22
    an interviewer and one where they only
  • 00:17:24
    took part online and we were interested
  • 00:17:27
    in a range of comparisons where we did
  • 00:17:29
    that so the first was were people more
  • 00:17:31
    likely to take part if they were
  • 00:17:33
    approached by a nurse than an
  • 00:17:34
    interviewer were just asked to do it on
  • 00:17:36
    the web and the answer was no the
  • 00:17:38
    response rates were 78 to 80 across
  • 00:17:41
    those three groups with no real
  • 00:17:42
    difference but it took the nurse more
  • 00:17:45
    attempts to get someone to take part in
  • 00:17:47
    an interview than it did the interviewer
  • 00:17:50
    in terms of blood samples the nurse asks
  • 00:17:53
    people to give them venous blood or dry
  • 00:17:55
    blood spots with the interviewer they
  • 00:17:58
    left a kit so the participant could
  • 00:17:59
    collected by blood spot themselves with
  • 00:18:01
    the web survey they'll ask you in the
  • 00:18:03
    web server if they would like a kit and
  • 00:18:05
    if they said yes we sent it to them and
  • 00:18:06
    asked them to collect it so possibly not
  • 00:18:09
    surprisingly we got a lot more blood
  • 00:18:10
    when the nurse asked went and collected
  • 00:18:12
    it than when we asked people to do it
  • 00:18:14
    themselves
  • 00:18:16
    but in terms of the comparison between
  • 00:18:18
    Venus blood and dry blood spot we were
  • 00:18:20
    able to kind of equate create equivalent
  • 00:18:23
    risk scores so we kind of felt that that
  • 00:18:26
    worked quite well although the nurse was
  • 00:18:28
    much more successfully getting the blood
  • 00:18:31
    we randomly offered people feedback from
  • 00:18:33
    their blood or not
  • 00:18:35
    um of cholesterol and hba1c and perhaps
  • 00:18:39
    unsurprisingly that if you are offered
  • 00:18:41
    feedback you're much more likely to take
  • 00:18:43
    part online
  • 00:18:45
    um than if you weren't offered feedback
  • 00:18:46
    and this was most strongly evident in
  • 00:18:49
    the web survey and there was no effect
  • 00:18:51
    of feedback in the nurse interview which
  • 00:18:53
    suggests that the nurse encouraging
  • 00:18:55
    people to take part kind of feedback
  • 00:18:57
    doesn't make much difference but if
  • 00:18:58
    you're just sat in front of a computer
  • 00:19:00
    screen being offered feedback encourages
  • 00:19:02
    you to do it uh we ask people for hair
  • 00:19:05
    samples we've got very low response to
  • 00:19:07
    that we ask people to go and get their
  • 00:19:09
    blood pressure measured themselves at
  • 00:19:11
    their chemist or their GP and we kind of
  • 00:19:13
    got about 40 willing to do that and
  • 00:19:15
    those um results were pretty equivalent
  • 00:19:18
    to when the nurse or interviewer
  • 00:19:19
    measured them we got people to tell us
  • 00:19:22
    their height and weights and then we
  • 00:19:24
    measured them and possibly as we all
  • 00:19:26
    know
  • 00:19:27
    um that wasn't very accurate
  • 00:19:30
    so then the last data stream that we
  • 00:19:32
    have is genetics and epide genetics data
  • 00:19:35
    we have a whole genome scan based on the
  • 00:19:37
    human core and exome Chip which gives us
  • 00:19:41
    about 5 000 Snips and then we've imputed
  • 00:19:44
    that I think actually we now have more
  • 00:19:46
    than eight million but we also have
  • 00:19:47
    imputed data sets it's a bit more than
  • 00:19:49
    that and then we have also done
  • 00:19:51
    genome-wide methylation only for about
  • 00:19:53
    three thousands
  • 00:19:55
    3600 people uh where we concentrated on
  • 00:19:59
    those who've been in the bhps so they
  • 00:20:01
    had a long kind of Social and economic
  • 00:20:03
    history
  • 00:20:04
    beforehand and a random sample of
  • 00:20:06
    understanding Society
  • 00:20:08
    so that's a quick whisk through our
  • 00:20:10
    different data streams
  • 00:20:13
    um as I've been saying all the way
  • 00:20:15
    through nearly all of our data you can
  • 00:20:17
    get from the UK data archive where there
  • 00:20:20
    are three different licenses that you
  • 00:20:22
    can download for data under so the most
  • 00:20:24
    of our data is available for the end
  • 00:20:26
    user license where you just register
  • 00:20:28
    what you want to do with the data and
  • 00:20:29
    then you can just download it
  • 00:20:31
    automatically and there are some things
  • 00:20:33
    we do we don't include verbatim data
  • 00:20:35
    there we only provide government office
  • 00:20:38
    government Regional Offices we kind of
  • 00:20:40
    have aggregated versions of medication
  • 00:20:43
    and income and things there's a special
  • 00:20:45
    license version where you have to apply
  • 00:20:47
    for the data with an application but
  • 00:20:49
    then you can download it once that's
  • 00:20:51
    approved and that has a range of
  • 00:20:52
    geographies things like lsoa it has
  • 00:20:55
    things like School codes if you're
  • 00:20:57
    interested in looking at education and
  • 00:20:58
    more detailed classifications for things
  • 00:21:00
    like occupation and medication and then
  • 00:21:03
    we have data in the data archives uh Tre
  • 00:21:06
    where you have to be an approved
  • 00:21:08
    researcher there's an application you
  • 00:21:10
    can't take the data out it's it's in the
  • 00:21:13
    safe haven and they review your outputs
  • 00:21:16
    and there we have latitude and longitude
  • 00:21:19
    in terms of geography full dates of
  • 00:21:20
    birth and that's where all our linked
  • 00:21:22
    administrative data are
  • 00:21:24
    for the genetics and epigenetics data
  • 00:21:26
    you can access just genetics and Equity
  • 00:21:29
    genetics data alone at the EGA by an
  • 00:21:33
    application form to them directly but if
  • 00:21:36
    you want it in combination with the
  • 00:21:37
    survey data there's an application
  • 00:21:40
    system on our website you can apply to
  • 00:21:42
    get those data but you can only combine
  • 00:21:44
    it with the end user license data not
  • 00:21:46
    the more detailed data and then the
  • 00:21:49
    linked NHS data which I mentioned
  • 00:21:51
    earlier is available at the UK LLC
  • 00:21:54
    trusted research environment and there's
  • 00:21:57
    a kind of Link there for how you reply
  • 00:21:59
    to it
  • 00:22:01
    so understanding Society puts quite
  • 00:22:03
    quite a lot puts a lot of effort in
  • 00:22:05
    trying to support users to use the study
  • 00:22:08
    and we have on our website what we call
  • 00:22:11
    a pathway to using the study so uh this
  • 00:22:16
    on the website obviously you can kind of
  • 00:22:18
    Click through these things there's the
  • 00:22:19
    study overview user guide for each of
  • 00:22:22
    the data streams you can search for
  • 00:22:24
    variables so you would put in poverty
  • 00:22:26
    and it would bring up all the variables
  • 00:22:28
    in the study that had poverty in them
  • 00:22:30
    all our questionnaires and other
  • 00:22:32
    feedback material there as well as a
  • 00:22:34
    plan for how we kind of rotate our
  • 00:22:36
    content over time we have various videos
  • 00:22:39
    of how to use the data as well as kind
  • 00:22:41
    of interact
  • 00:22:42
    in-person training courses and Moodle
  • 00:22:44
    training courses as a FAQ and then a
  • 00:22:48
    couple of different kinds of user Forum
  • 00:22:50
    including being able to make
  • 00:22:51
    appointments to talk to uh the user
  • 00:22:54
    support team directly
  • 00:22:58
    so we were asked to give examples I've
  • 00:23:00
    got like a second I think having my
  • 00:23:02
    Emler and of the things that people have
  • 00:23:04
    done with the study and so I just took a
  • 00:23:07
    quick screenshot of our publication page
  • 00:23:09
    because this is kind of where you would
  • 00:23:11
    go if you want to see what people have
  • 00:23:12
    done with the study and the first three
  • 00:23:14
    public or the most three most recent
  • 00:23:16
    Publications are all really relevant in
  • 00:23:18
    terms of biomedical research I think one
  • 00:23:21
    on allostatic load and work uh one on
  • 00:23:24
    lockdown and physical activity and the
  • 00:23:27
    other on furlough and uh pandemic and
  • 00:23:30
    health behavior so you can see there's a
  • 00:23:32
    lot of different ways that people might
  • 00:23:34
    combine the rich social and economic
  • 00:23:36
    data in understanding Society with we
  • 00:23:39
    call more biomedical uh
  • 00:23:41
    uh topics so I'll skip them and just say
  • 00:23:45
    so if you want more information about
  • 00:23:48
    understanding Society we do have a
  • 00:23:50
    website with a huge amount of
  • 00:23:51
    information on it the data flow of the
  • 00:23:53
    data archive and there are these various
  • 00:23:55
    ways that you can kind of get more
  • 00:23:57
    information on a regular basis
  • 00:24:00
    thank you
