COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 1 – Harmonising survey data on child wellbeing
This workshop consists of three parts. Haridhan Goswami from the University of Manchester gives a brief introduction to the scientific research of child wellbeing and explains why data harmonisation is useful for this kind of research. Insa Bechert from the GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences then discusses different harmonisation strategies and explains their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, Scott Milligan (also GESIS) introduces the variable database created as part of the COORDINATE project, as well as the Harmonisation Toolbox, a set of R scripts that cover the data harmonization process for selected variables measuring child well-being.
​
COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 2 – Hands-on data
In this workshop, Scott Milligan, from the GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, leads the participants through a complete data harmonisation exercise based on an R script that appears like those offered in the Harmonisation Toolbox (see COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 1). The exercise demonstrates the harmonisation process using an extended example examining the correlation between bullying and children's happiness based on a set of simulated data sets. The data sets and the associated R code can be downloaded so that the participants can follow along.
