Australia and New Zealand have a wealth of wonderful longitudinal studies. The range of topics and target populations is broad and includes:
• Babies and Children and their Parents
• Families
• Young People
• Women’s Health
• Men’s Health
• Ageing
• Indigenous Children
• Migrants
• And many many more
This session is interested in hearing from survey methodologists and practitioners from Australia and New Zealand who work in this area and would be interested in sharing their stories.
We are also keen to hear from researchers from around the world who use Australian and/or New Zealand longitudinal datasets to hear about the work they are doing.
For example, we would love to hear about:
• data collection activities and methodologies
• engagement strategies and incentives
• communication with respondents including initial approach, between waves, etc.
• data linkage including consent processes
• strategies employed to reduce panel attrition
• engaging and novel methods of relaying study results back to participants
• social media strategies
• multi-mode experiences
• re-engagement of past non-responders
• using Australian/New Zealand longitudinal data together with other longitudinal data sets
