Healthy AGeing in Scotland (HAGIS)
HAGIS is Scotland’s first comprehensive longitudinal study of people aged 50+, designed to understand older adults’ health, economic, and social circumstances and to inform policies that improve wellbeing. It belongs to the Health & Retirement Study (HRS) family and is intended to re‑interview participants every two years to enable within‑Scotland tracking and cross‑country comparisons via the Gateway to Global Aging.
Scottish Government Social Care Survey (SGSCS)
[We have catalogued the latest/last two sweeps (2015 &2016) for the CASCID catalogue.] The Social Care Survey collated client‑level administrative data from all 32 Scottish local authorities on people assessed for, and receiving, social care services (e.g., home care, telecare/community alarms, housing support, meals, and self‑directed support). Its purpose was to provide consistent national statistics to inform policy and service delivery, and to enable linkage with health datasets for research on interactions between health and long‑term care.
