Determining Healthy Households

This is a self-paced ADR UK course on how to create Household Units of Analysis (HUAs) from line-level pseudonymised GP patient data. This transparent and standardised method will quickly provide you with data on every household in your population at a specified point in time and the demography and count of the occupants. This will support household-level analysis without relying on surveys.

By the end of the course, you will have learned: - Why the household context is important - Existing household statistics from surveys and their limitations - Why GP patient data in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are a rich alternative - Why transparent standardised methods are needed when using administrative data - How patient addresses represented as Unique Property Reference Numbers are households - Why pseudonymisation is required in the method - Real-world examples of household-level research - Limitations and caveats associated with patient data - Variations in data by geography and TRE and user responsibilities - Data requirements - Overview of the method and the synthetic training dataset - Demonstration of the method so that the user can replicate Knowledge required: - Accessing and understanding administrative and patient data - SQLite
