This webinar is part of the Power of Population Data Science Series
Administrative data arising via the operation of public service delivery systems hold great benefits for citizens and society providing they can be made available for research in a safe, socially-acceptable way. In recognition of this potential, the UK Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) was established in 2013 to enable new research for public benefit. However, there are considerable challenges to be overcome for effective data use, and many of these are common to administrative data enterprises in general.
This presentation provides challenges and solutions in using administrative data, using the UK ADRN as a case study. The study enabled the development of evidence-based recommendations that will have value to others in advancing the use of administrative data, and which the UK ADRN used to create an action plan to address many challenges in the effective use of administrative data. Topics covered will include practical examples of how the UK ADRN has addressed challenges, developed strengths and proposed solutions to issues related the effective use of administrative data for research. The findings of this study is widely relevant to enterprises working with administrative data across the world.
