Health Stats on the Web - NNLM Webinar
This is a topic I like to revisit every couple of years. I don't always need to dig up health statistics, but when I do, I like to have a handle on where to go for what stats. Some things stay relatively stable, but there are always new things to learn in this area.
In June 2022, the NNLM released a new webinar on finding Health Stats on the Web. [Note that the video above is from March 2022.]
Health Statistics on the Web - NNLM Webinar - June 2022
In this 1 hour webinar you will learn the difference between data and statistics, key features and use of health statistics, steps to finding health statistics, and sources of health statistics at the local, state and national level. The importance and relevance of health statistics in various contexts will be discussed. You will have the opportunity to become familiar with the features and scope of several statistics resources through the use of examples.
Objectives:
- At the conclusion of the class, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the differences between data, data sets, and statistics.
- Understand the 4-step process used to locate relevant health statistics for a particular circumstance or issue.
- Identify online resources that provide data sets and statistics at the local, state and national level.
Class Resources:
Thanks for sharing our NNLM class! We are currently developing an expanded version of Health Statistics on the Web, which will include sources for international statistics and a guided handout. Stay tuned! Erica Lake, your Region 6 NNLM outreach coordinator
