Accessing ELSA data

Researchers can download ELSA data from waves 1-11 including wave 0 (HSE), from the UK Data Service.

The table below lists the ELSA datasets that are available on UKDS along with the link to each dataset.

If you are in the UK and your organisation is part of the UK Access Management Federation (UKAMF), you can access UKDS via your institution’s account. Find out if your institution is a member.

If you are not in the UK, or your organisation is not on the list of federation members, you can request a username.

Note that End User Licence level data are available to all via UKDS. However Special Licence and Secure Access level data have more restrictions which will be explained when you apply via UKDS. 

PLEASE CONTACT THE ELSA TEAM BEFORE SUBMITTING A GRANT APPLICATION THAT INCLUDES SPECIAL LICENCE OR SECURE ACCESS ELSA DATA
