We encourage enquiries from researchers interested in analysing these data to address specific scientific questions. Approval to use anonymised sub-sets of the data requires approval by the Study Steering Group.

Accessing ACONF data
The study administrator, Heather Clark, oversees applications for access to the ACONF data. Please contact Heather at h.clark@abdn.ac.uk or +44 (0)1224 437288 if you would like more information on the study variables, or if you are interested in submitting an application to the steering committee. The draft application form for the steering committee is available here.
Given steering committee approval, work with ACONF data requires a rigorous permission process and vetting of data security. Work on ACONF data is carried out in the Grampian Data Safe Haven (DaSH). DaSH provides advice on the linkage process as well as a safe facility for conducting research with linked data. For more information go to GrampianDaSH.
