Title: Exploring loneliness and living alone through linked administrative and survey data in Wales, UK

The work aimed to investigate and describe living alone trends; develop indicators for reason of living alone; and examine associations between living alone (including derived indicators) and emotional, social and overall loneliness, alongside demographic, health and place-based factors. Methods to derive living alone trends and novel indicators were completed using individual and household level data in the Welsh Demographic Service within the SAIL Databank.

Title: Using address-based linkages: Health examples from Cheshire & Merseyside

This talk will outline two examples of projects underway in Cheshire & Merseyside using household linkage of health and place-based data. The first project looks at using energy efficiency data combined with health data at household level to create a housing retrofit needs that takes into account health vulnerability. The second example explores the impact of distance to green spaces on respiratory and mental health outcomes.
