The potentials of re-using 'Dad Data' (online)Info Location Additional Items Contact More Info Course InformationSpread across three days, this online short course introduces participants to sources of quantitative and qualitative data about fathers, or ‘dad data’, in the UK for research about children, young people, interparental relationships and families. Featuring discussion of both quantitative and qualitative datasets, the training will provide hands on experience of using ‘dad data’ and explore the potential and the value of re-using different data sources for advancing new knowledge. The course will showcase existing datasets in the UK; six national longitudinal studies about children and families that contain ‘dad data’ for the purpose of quantitative analysis, as well as the qualitative longitudinal datasets that feature the voices and experiences of fathers, that are stored in the Timescapes Archive at the University of Leeds. Via a mix of synchronous presentations and an asynchronous ‘data dive’, participants will be supported to develop their knowledge and hone their skills in identifying, accessing, reusing, and analysing existing quantitative and/or qualitative data about fathers. There will also be opportunities to explore the relevance of ‘dad data’ for your own work, as well as identifying new research questions and future directions. A group Q&A session on the last day will support exploration of challenges, new questions, and future opportunities for research with ‘dad data’. Course CodeLEETPORUDD Course LeaderProf Anna Tarrant

Additional InformationThis is an online training event that will be held on zoom. You will need to have a microphone and camera on your device to enable you to participate in the workshop. If you would like to analyse ‘dad-data’ in a quantitative dataset on Day 2, access to SPSS (preferable) or Stata, SAS or Excel is required. Participants analysing a quantitative dataset will need to register with and download data from the UK Data Archive (quantitative) in advance of day 2, and will be responsible for meeting archive requirements for data use and subsequent data deletion. Qualitative data will be provided to participants in advance. This process will be supported by the trainers. The course equates to one full teaching day for payment purposes.
