Collaborations and Consortia

We are committed to maximizing the use of Whitehall II data to advance scientific knowledge.  There have been 117 applications to use Whitehall II data through DPUK, with 28 applications in 2023.

A number of instutions have published papers involving individual-level Whitehall II data.   We have also released aggregate data for collaborative research projects, including international consortia.
