ELSA Wave 9 Report Launch
Thursday 8th October 2020
Online event via YouTube
The ELSA Wave 9 Report was launched during an online event, live streamed via YouTube, which you can watch again here:
Wave 9 of ELSA was carried out in 2018/2019, and the report includes substantive chapters on economic, social, and health issues, together with tables of cross-sectional and longitudinal results.
Since Wave 9 was completed, the world has suffered the COVID-19 pandemic, and older people have been particularly vulnerable. A COVID-19 Substudy is being carried out with ELSA participants to understand the experience of older people over this period.
The ELSA Wave 9 Report launch event featured presentations on the latest findings from Wave 9 of ELSA and the COVID-19 Substudy, together with an outline of plans for the future:
