Adjusting for confounding in population administrative data when confounders are only measured in a linked cohort | International Journal of Population Data Science IntroductionAnalyses of population administrative data can often only be minimally adjusted due to a lack of control variables, potentially leading to bias due to residual confounding.

📢 Researchers at @ucl.ac.uk propose new approach to improve quality of population data research by looking at data linked from the Millennium Cohort Study to the UK National Pupil Database (NPD).

📢 New study: Impact of SEND provision on health & education outcomes using the ECHILD database (England). Researchers used causal inference methods to explore whether additional support improves outcomes for children with high health needs. Results showed small reductions in unauthorised absences, but no clear effect on attainment or hospital use — and families highlighted both benefits and challenges of accessing support. The study calls for more experimental policy approaches and better data on SEND provision. #SEND #PopulationDataScience #Education or Read the full open access article here https://ijpds.org/article/view/3331
