Longitudinal data offer powerful analytical insights to help answer many important social questions. Longitudinal data are collected by repeated observation and measurement of the same people, organisations, communities or other entities at a number of points over a period of time. Analyses of longitudinal data offer powerful and insightful approaches to understanding changes in society, and what might be driving that change.
Britain has a very strong history of longitudinal studies. However, the approach has generally not been widely applied to research in the social care sector.
Longview and the NIHR School for Social Care Research jointly organised this workshop for people interested in learning about and further developing the use of longitudinal approaches in social care-related research.
