 JUqc-moqjgsEtOkQhQ3uMaF9T89La0RUTi-\n\nAbout this talk\n\nLinkage of admin
 istrative data from different sources can help us better understand the di
 stribution of health and disease in populations. Linking data for mothers 
 and babies allows us to create electronic cohort studies that cover a high
  proportion of the population\, and to generate highly generalisable evide
 nce to inform public policy. However\, linkage is not always straightforwa
 rd\, particularly when we would like to link cross-sectoral data in order 
 to understand social determinants of health. In this talk\, I will discuss
  some of the opportunities for research using electronic birth cohorts\, a
 nd some of the challenges that we should try to address when using these d
 ata for research.\n\nAbout Professor Green\n\nKatie is an Associate Profes
 sor in quantitative methods at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Ch
 ild Health. Her methodological research aims to develop methods to exploit
  the rich data that are collected about populations as we interact with se
 rvices throughout our lives. Katie’s applied research focuses on maximis
 ing the use of existing data sources to improve services for vulnerable mo
 thers and families. Her current research links data from health\, educatio
 n and social care at a national level\, in order to improve our understand
 ing of the health of individuals from birth to young adulthood.
