The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) can provide access to data from health registries and population-based health surveys, after application for data is approved.
All applications for the release of data must be sent via the application form at helsedata.no. If you have any questions about the application form or if you need guidance when applying, contact Helsedataservice.
Overview of projects that have received data
NIPH maintains an overview of who is given access to personal data from health registries and health surveys, what the data will be used for and the lawful basis for the disclosure. The overview contains the project title and the name of the project leader/principal investigator and the research institution concerned, and is made publicly available at fhi.no.
Payment for access to health data
The NIPH may decide that the applicant must pay all or a proportion of the actual costs incurred in connection with the extraction, linkage and preparation of the health data that is made available.
