Title: The Challenges of Setting up a Longitudinal Panel Study of Ageing in Scotland

Abstract: This talk will describe the tortuous path to setting up a longitudinal survey of ageing for Scotland. It will discuss the contents of the Scottish study, HAGIS, highlighting its particular merits and the challenges associated with linking survey responses to administrative data, particularly those relating to health. It will also place HAGIS in the context of the global initiative, led by the National Institute of Aging in the US, to collect evidence on the social, psychological, economic and health status of older people.
