Data Access

Linked CLSA data now available through Health Data Nova Scotia

Researchers can now apply to access linked CLSA cohort data at provincial data centres in British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Health Data Nova Scotia (HDNS) is the newest provincial data centre to offer CLSA data holdings linked with administrative health data.

Researchers who wish to request for single-region data access, should apply directly through the provincial data centre. Multi-region requests must be submitted through Health Data Research Network (HDRN) Canada’s Data Access Support Hub (DASH).

DASH provides information on the availability of data assets, common algorithms, and data access processes across Canada, and offers centralized and coordinated data access support for researchers who require administrative data from more than one province.
