Summary

Most NIHR BioResource participants complete a self-report form on recruitment. Typically this contains e.g. height, weight, smoking history and alcohol consumption, but also includes questions relating to disease history and current medications

Documentation

The NIHR Bioresource consists of several groups of participants: ~70k from the general population and blood donors (COMPARE, INTERVAL and STRIDES studies); ~19k with one of ~50 rare diseases (RD) including a ~5k pilot for GEL; ~30k with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which include the members of Gut Reaction, the Health Data Research Hub for IBD; and ~20k with Anxiety or depression (GLAD study). It intends to extend recruitment in all areas, and to other rare and common disease groups, with a target of ~300k by 2022. The NIHR BioResource acquires a self-reported health and lifestyle questionnaire from all participants at recruitment, save those recruited in rare disease clinics. Typically variables include height, weight, smoking history and alcohol consumption, with addition of questions relating to disease history and current medications. This is used to pre-screen or match participants when inviting them to take part in experimental medicine studies. De-identified versions of this data are available to researchers investigating the feasibility of future studies.

Access service description

Some de-identified data may be released to researchers in a platform-independent filetype (e.g. CSV). However, access to any data acquired via NHS Digital is subject to strict restrictions governing where data may be accessed and from which locale - access is currently via an experimental safe haven built in Microsoft Azure.
