Claudia Pagliari, Sarah Cunningham-Burley

Research output: Book/Report › Book

Abstract / Description of output

This report describes the results of a consultation exercise undertaken for the Scottish Government as part of its consultation for a proposed 'Scotland-wide Data Linkage Framework for Statistics and Research' (Scottish Government 2012) and a set of ‘Guiding Principles’ for linkage. They commissioned Ipsos MORI Scotland and social reseachers Dr Claudia Pagliari and Professor Sarah Cunningham-Burley from the University of Edinburgh, to undertake a series of public deliberative events. The aim was to explore the views of the public on the acceptability of linking personal data for statistical and research purposes, thereby identifying particular sensitivities and potential barriers to public confidence and exploring mechanisms for overcoming concerns.
