Description: THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. Obesity e-Lab is a unique, secure environment for producing, sharing, communicating and finding obesity research between epidemiologists, public health researchers and social scientists. Features of e-Lab: - Tools to share: it enables social and biomedical researchers to share data, information and analytical tools for obesity research. First, it will create a portal to provide access to the platform and facilitate social networking. - Navigation tools: Second, it will generate search and navigation tools for researchers in academic, NHS or local government organizations to find data from administrative and secure data services, via social science views of health datasets, and health science views of social datasets. Within the NHS, e-Lab links records from a variety of administrative and health (and social) care sources for broadly-specified obesity research, and make pseudonymised extracts of NHS-linked datasets available via the portal. - Analytical tools: Third, it will develop analytical tools, focused on: i) easy, reliable and privacy-protecting transformation of geo-codes in health records to other geographies and area-based social and economic measures; ii) epidemiological extensions to geographical information systems; iii) growth-standardization of child obesity measures. The tool-building will employ as much existing software as possible, focusing on the provision of simple, intuitive interfaces to proven software to make it easy for social or biomedical researchers to use collaboratively.
