Wiki Version:
The National ReferAll Database was established, and is curated and maintained, through collaboration between the ukactive Research Institute, ReferAll, and the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine hub based at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre in Sheffield. These datasets have been produced and are openly shared with the expectation that users agree to follow their intended use. Our hope that this data helps facilitate furthering our understanding of exercise, physical activity, and other referral pathways that collectively fall under the broad realm of social prescribing. Datasets and relevant data dictionaries are version controlled. Versions can be identified by the date in the filename (YYYY-MM-DD format). Please note that data is in long format (i.e. each row represents an observation at a given time point for a given individual). Those wishing to access and utilise the data should view the relevant data dictionary (please note the date for version control) to gain an appreciation of the content of the datasets. Once a researcher has determined the question or hypothesis they wish to explore, we encourage them to consider creating a project page on the OSF and pre-registering publicly their intentions for using this data prior to accessing it. We acknowledge that this relies on a degree of honesty on the part of those accessing the data. For scheme providers or practitioners who are not presently customers of ReferAll contributing to the database (i.e. do not utilise their software for data capture and/ or have not consented to contribute data), but who wish to contribute either historical or ongoing data from their scheme, please contact James Steele (james.steele@solent.ac.uk), Matthew Wade (or matthewwade@ukactive.org.uk), and Stuart Stokes (stuart@refer-all.net). Lastly, we will endeavour to collate and upload (where possible dependent on publication licence) any reports utilising this dataset. As the dataset is published under CCBY 4.0 it is required that attribution is given and we would encourage any users to inform us (contact james.steele@solent.ac.uk or matthewwade@ukactive.org.uk) and to consider uploading their work as a pre-print to a relevant server (e.g. https://osf.io/preprints/sportrxiv/).
