Health Outcomes of young People throughout Education Study (HOPE)
The HOPE study explores variation in special educational needs provision and its impact on health and education outcomes across multiple work packages. Data for several work packages was obtained from the ECHILD database, which links routinely collected administrative data on health and education for around 14,700,000 children and young people in England. Analyses were focused on primary school-aged children followed from year 1 to 6, born in a National Health Service (NHS) hospital in England, and having a birth admission recorded in the Hospital Episode Statistics from September 2002 onwards. Analysis was limited to outcomes recorded before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Novel data has also been collected from over 1,700 children and young people, parents and carers, and service providers across England as part of a further work package in the HOPE study.
