This lecture is based on a paper of
the same name by Roos et al. (2008)1. The multi-disciplinary
potential of administrative data (particularly that from the
Canadian province of Manitoba) is heightened by comparisons with the
Panel Study in Income Dynamics, a famous American long-running
social science study. The lecture discusses how to unlock the
research potential of administrative data through the use of
registries and record linkage. The different perspective of
population-based data provides a cost-effective way to study such
important issues as the role of the socioeconomic gradient and the
cost-effectiveness of interventions to help the poor.
Note:
The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP) is a research unit
in the Community Health Sciences Department of the University of
Manitoba's Faculty of Medicine. MCHP does research on the health of
Manitobans, focusing specifically on patterns of illness in the
population and how health care services are used in Manitoba.
