Want to know more about data linkage?

Data linkage is a method of bringing information from different sources together for the same person or entity to create a new, richer dataset, while maintaining individual privacy. This is a powerful tool for identifying patterns across time and populations, and can be used for research, health service evaluation, policy development, and strategic planning.

The TDLU is running a free interactive workshop designed for researchers, clinicians, and policy makers to learn about data linkage. It will cover the basics of how data are linked, what datasets are available for linkage through the TDLU, how to design and apply for a data linkage project, and an introduction to analysing linked data.

The workshop is open to University of Tasmania (UTAS) and Tasmanian Department of Health (DoH) staff and students (applicants from other Departments and Organisations will be considered if space allows).

It will be of most benefit to those who have a data linkage project idea, as this will be developed during the workshop.
