Welcome to Open Forum
Are you a researcher interested in studying people's living conditions and health? Then you may benefit from using the research data available within REWHARD. If you want to know more about our data, you are welcome to our Open Forum.

A few times per semester, we invite researchers and PhD students to our Open Forum on Zoom. Then our researchers are available for your questions. Meet us and find out what data we have and how you can use it in your research.
On each occasion, two of our nodes will host the forum. No prior knowledge is required - all questions are welcome! Please connect to the forum when it starts so you do not miss the chance to meet us. We will continue as long as there are questions and for an hour at most.
If you cannot attend or prefer to email your question, you can write to rewhard@su.se. We will gather questions and answers at the bottom of this page so that it becomes a resource for researchers interested in our infrastructure.
Welcome!

Questions and answers from open forum
Here we have gathered questions and answers to provide a resource for researchers interested in our infrastructure. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please contact us.
What kind of data is available in REWHARD?
REWHARD coordinates research data on working and living conditions, sickness absence, health and well-being of the Swedish population.
How have your data been collected?
LNU and SLOSH organise their own data collections. IMAS has mainly register data and STODS has register and twin data, including from surveys. Common to all is that there is data for a long stretch of time and for a large number of individuals.
Does it cost anything to use your data?
We charge a fee for extracting data held in IMAS, SLOSH and STODS. LNU data is disclosed free of charge.
As a doctoral student, can I use data from REWHARD?
Yes! Please contact us for more information.
