Introduction to Pregnancy and Childbirth Datasets in SAIL Databank

This webinar session will introduce four pregnancy and childbirth themed datasets accessible via SAIL databank, the intricacy of their data collection, strength and limitation, data linkage and the application process.

Course description

This introductory webinar includes guest speakers who are experienced data owners and users.  The webinar will cover the following datasets:

  • Annual District Birth Extract (ADBE)
  • National Community Child Health Dataset (NCCHD)
  • Maternal Indicator Dataset (MIDS)
  • Congenital Anomaly Register and Information Service (CARS)

 

Who should attend

New, existing and potential SAIL Databank users who are interested in integrating these datasets into their own research.
