| Annotation | In September 2004, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) launched the post-2001 Census Longitudinal Study (LS) database for research use. The addition of 2001 Census data to the LS extends the range of topics that this unique data resource can support. Census questions on religion, caregiving and self-rated health that were asked for the first time in 2001, and the repetition of 1991 questions on ethnicity and limiting long-standing illness raise opportunities for new longitudinal investigation in these areas. This article describes how new 2001 methodologies including data imputation, the One Number Census and de jure enumeration affect the LS database. The support service for existing and prospective LS users is described. Academic users are referred to the Centre for LS Information and User Support (CeLSIUS) website at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (http://www.celsuis.lshtm.ac.uk), while government and other non-academic users should consult the ONS LS webpages (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ls).
