Research prioritisation report: linked data research in adult social care

This report explains how we found our top 10 research priority themes for linked data research in adult social care.

We wanted to know the aspects of adult social care people would like to see examined using linked data research. 

This was part of an exercise funded by Administrative Data Research (ADR) Wales that brought together lots of people to decide on themes that should get more focus in research. This included working with organisations that routinely collect data, people with lived experience of care and support, social care practitioners, third sector partners, researchers and policy makers. 

You can learn more about this process on our help set research priorities page. 

A top 10 list of research priority themes was decided on through this process. You can see the list and some information about the process in the news piece about the priorities. 

This report explains how we decided on the top 10 priorities. It focuses on what people told us in our surveys and workshop, and why they said these priorities were important to support future work.
