Abstract
Biomarkers have been included in several major longitudinal surveys, including Understanding Society in Waves 2 and 3 (2010-2012). This data collection will be greatly enhanced by a re-collection of biomarker data to enable researchers to examine changes in them over time. However, repeat collection of biomarker data in Understanding Society using nurses is no longer feasible. At Wave 16 of Understanding Society (2024-2026) we propose to collect a range of biomarkers directly from participants. Prior to that fieldwork, we are piloting the data collection processes during February-May 2023. This paper sets out the design of the Wave 16 pilot.
