增加获得儿童社会护理数据的机会为研究和政策评估提供了巨大的潜力，在数据可以匿名链接到其他信息来源（如健康和教育数据）的情况下，机会增加了。这一范围审查的目的是提供一个概述，所有英国的数据链接研究，使用常规收集的个人层面的儿童的社会保健管理数据。检索了6个研究数据库，确定25项研究符合纳入标准，其中大多数（n= 18）基于英文数据。报告强调了这些研究的复杂性和耗时性，并强调了数据缺失和地方当局记录信息不一致的问题，这些问题影响了联系进程。增加对这些数据的访问，并改进数据采集，可以提高这些宝贵的行政数据资产在社会护理部门的效用。
Increasing access to children’s social care data presents enormous potential for research and policy evaluation, with opportunities increased where data can be anonymously linked to other sources of information, such as health and education data. The purpose of this scoping review was to provide an overview of all UK data linkage studies that have used routinely collected individual-level children’s social care administrative data. Six research databases were searched and twenty-five studies were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria, with the majority (n= 18) based on English data. Complexities and the time-consuming nature of these studies are highlighted, as are issues with missing data and inconsistencies in recording information across local authorities, impacting on the linkage process. Increased access to such data, and improvements to data capture, could improve the utility of these valuable administrative data assets in the social care sector.
