Maximising the Value of Longitudinal Studies for Policy and Science: Methodological and Analysis Issues

Workshop is currently booked at capacity.

Description

FaHCSIA and the ARACY ARC/NHMRC Research Network are holding a two day workshop on methodological issues in longitudinal studies. The workshop will bring together researchers and policy-makers involved in longitudinal research. The workshop will feature presentations from experts, panel discussions and a poster session and include a networking dinner on the first evening.

The workshop will:

• bring together the implementers/researchers and the policy-makers of major longitudinal studies;
• be relevant to all longitudinal studies, providing an opportunity to share knowledge; and
• be designed to assist people involved in the design, management and conduct of longitudinal research and data preparation.

Facilitated by Professor Ann Sanson and Dr Helen Rogers; featured presenters include Professor Richie Poulton, Director of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit at the University of Otago which conducts the Dunedin Longitudinal Study; and Ms Lisa Calderwood, Senior Survey Manager, Centre for Longitudinal Studies at the University of London, who is currently working on the UK Millennium Cohort Study.

Participant's will be given the opportunity to display a poster on their longitudinal research, describing their varied methodologie - what has worked, what hasn't - and the current status and findings of their study.
