2021 Spring Electives

Health Data Elective Course

Thinking about using large or restricted data for your dissertation? This course, taught by Census Bureau researchers, offers an excellent opportunity to learn how and why you might want to use restricted health data. Direct questions to Sara Yeatman, Patrick Krueger, or Shawna Bayerman (who took the course last year).

HBSC 5999: Federal Statistical Data for Health Research and Policy (1 or 3 credits, 3 credit includes lab)

  • Description: In this course, students will develop the knowledge and skills required to effectively use a variety of federal statistical data sets for health research and policy analysis. Each week is devoted to one or two federal statistical datasets--how the data are collected; why they are collected and what health issues they are designed to address; what population they represent and at what geographic scale. Most critically, the lectures will distinguish between questions that can be addressed with a public version of the data and questions that require restricted versions of the data that are protected by federal law and guidelines. Toward the end of the course, the lecture subject matter will become more focused on how to gain access to restricted data and how to protect individual anonymity with best practice disclosure avoidance techniques.
