Can I use the GHS to analyse change over time?
Yes, and the long running nature of the survey is particularly useful for analysis of trends in socio-economic variables. A GHS timeseries dataset has been produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which combines each annual round of the GHS into one dataset containing over 40 variables with information on demographics, households, education, employment and health. The GHS timeseries dataset provides repeated cross-sectional data and can be used to monitor patterns of aggregate change. From 2005 the GHS has included a longitudinal element. However, the longitudinal data is not yet available and so the survey cannot currently be used to assess individual changes as we do not have repeated measures for individuals. More information can be found in the ESDS guide on Analysing change over time.
