The initial podcasts recorded in 2023, were solely ADR Scotland, who link datasets of administrative data from Education, Health, Social Care, the Environment, Housing, Community safety & Justice.
· Their Datapod podcast lets you hear from our leading academics, data scientists and data analysts involved in researching Scotland’s public sector data covering Health, Nursing, Social Care, Children, Education, Crime, Justice, Safety, Environmental and Housing sectors, in order to complete our administrative data research, to deliver data driven insights to government departments, charities and communities to inform them and provide support to encourage policymakers to amend regulations to improve people's lives and to benefit society.
· With unprecedented access to the partners within ADR Scotland, namely SCADR and the Scottish Government - their podcasts will either offer you a '10 minute Research Update' or invite you to join 'Datapod discussions' from leading academics, data scientists and experts from a particular sector, who together are transforming how public sector data in Scotland is curated, accessed and explored - so they can deliver data driven insights that highlights issues affecting communities and encouraging policymakers to amend regulations in order to benefit society.

Does commuting affect your health?
A current research project within our Lifelong health and wellbeing thread is investigating whether Commuting has an impact upon a person's health.
In this third episode in our podcast pilot, Professor Chris Dibben and Dr Laurie Berrie discuss with Renata Samulnik the value of using administrative data and linking datasets, in order to research whether:
- Commuting to work by bicycle can improve your health and how?
- What barriers stop people cycling to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh?
- Can these barriers be overcome and how?
- How our research can affect policy?
- What further research needs to be done in this area?
You may wish to refer to the following documents after listening to the podcast;
