 This website holds electronic versions of all the NSHD questionnaires and topic level guides to the information collected. The repository is accessible to bone fide researchers who may wish to use the NSHD for research purposes. Potential and existing users can use the repository to explore the NSHD metadata (descriptions of the data) to enable them to formulate proposals for data access requests to the NSHD Data Sharing Committee. This website holds electronic versions of all the NSHD questionnaires and topic level guides to the information collected.

 Researchers wishing to access the metadata repository or undertake a research project using NSHD data should find most of the information they need on this website and the associated tool [[skylark:skylark|Skylark]].  If you require more information please [[mrclha.swiftinfo@ucl.ac.uk|contact us]]. Researchers wishing to access the metadata repository or undertake a research project using NSHD data should find most of the information they need on this website and the associated tool [[skylark:skylark|Skylark]].  If you require more information please [[mrclha.swiftinfo@ucl.ac.uk|contact us]].

 Data sharing is dependent on the project being approved by the NSHD Data Sharing Committee, a data sharing agreement being in place between UCL and the academic institution that employs the researcher, and LHA resources being available to meet the requests for data sharing. Data sharing is dependent on the project being approved by the NSHD Data Sharing Committee, a data sharing agreement being in place between UCL and the academic institution that employs the researcher, and LHA resources being available to meet the requests for data sharing.
  
 +Prior to receipt of data, a [[checklist|Data Security Induction]] must be successfully completed and a [[checklist|Confidentiality Form]] must be completed, signed and returned.

 +----
 +===Parameters===
 +Please note that there is a **two year time limit** for dataset request from project application. i.e. if applicants have not requested any data 24 months after the project was approved, the approval will lapse and a fresh application form will have to be completed to continue the project.  
 +\\ \\ 
 +
 +
 +We will always assess the re-identification risk to NSHD study members as part of project consideration. Such risks put a limit on the potential maximum size of dataset that can be supplied. Please be sure to only select the core variables needed for your project. 
 +
 +Large baskets with many hundreds, or thousands, of variables are by their nature more potentially disclosive, and less likely to be acceptable. Baskets containing more than 500 variables may need advanced risk assessment, for which the Director reserves the right to charge a fee. 
 +
 +Applicants are **strongly advised** to minimise their basket size for these reasons.
 +
 +\\ 
 +Due to workflow issues, if a single project results in multiple data basket requests, there will likely be a delay between the delivery of successive baskets. Depending on the volume of other access requests being processed, this delay may be considerable.
