This is a self-paced ADR UK course on how to create Household Units of Analysis (HUAs) from line-level pseudonymised GP patient data.
This transparent and standardised method will quickly provide you with data on every household in your population at a specified point in time and the demography and count of the occupants. This will support household-level analysis without relying on surveys.
