We present on-going research at the University of Manchester on preventing and compensating for nonresponse in biosocial longitudinal data. Fiona Pashazadeh will open the workshop with a systematic literature review based on two large longitudinal surveys in the UK - Understanding Society and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Published papers will be categorised according to which, if any, missing data techniques have been used and how the possible impact of the missing data on the resulting analysis has been discussed. Georgia Chatzi will present research examining the association between socio-economic position and the biomarker C-Reactive protein (CRP) over four waves of data from ELSA. A latent growth curve model is presented which includes different imputation procedures and joint modelling to compensate for the missing data with a comparison to the complete case analysis. Following the break, Tina Hannemann will present initial results from a large scale simulation study based on ELSA comparing methods for compensating for missing data under a growth curve model to assess trajectories of the biomarker CRP. Finally, Tarani Chandola will present methodological issues for handling large amounts of attrition for a study based on a longitudinal analysis of refugees’ self-reported health and well-being.
