To support analysis of mental health and addiction in New Zealand, we’ve developed a tool that consolidates five key data sources in the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) into a single table of events. The consolidated table applies consistent metrics so researchers can more readily analyse data about mental health and addiction conditions.
This technical guide discusses data sources, the consolidated table and what sorts of research questions the new table can help answer. The guide complements the code required to generate the consolidated table, available at SWA’s GitHub page(external link).
