To address some of these data problems, we have harmonised a number of survey datasets from 1993 to 2017 with suitable ethnic minority boost samples, to undertake analyses of how older ethnic minority people’s health has changed over time, relative to the White majority population. Emerging findings show persistent ethnic health inequalities over more than 20 years.
As well as thinking of creative methodological israel rcs data solutions for use with existing data, we are also undertaking primary data collection to understand the drivers of ethnic inequalities, and how these have manifested during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This week saw the launch of CoDE’s Evidence for Equality National Survey (EVENS), administered by Ipsos MORI, and funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

This survey is the largest of its kind and aims to recruit 20,000 people in total to document and understand the experiences of ethnic and religious minorities during the pandemic. We are using cutting-edge methods to collect survey data online and via telephone. The non-probability nature of the sample requires statistical methods to compensate for the selection bias. These methods rely on probability reference samples that will be used to incorporate ‘randomisation’ into the non-probability sample and allow for statistical inference.
