P6781 The use of large-scale national health care data sets
An overview of research methodology utilizing major publicly accessible
large scale health care and social demographic data sets, including
federal, state, and local level resources. Covered are (1) variable
identifications and definitions; (2) record layouts; (3) data set size
and analysis restrictions; (4) variable strengths and weaknesses;
(5) research protocol submissions required by agencies for access to
confidential data; and (6) data handling methods. These data permit a
wide range of research questions to be addressed. This is demonstrated
through the presentation of current and recently completed research
activities and projects under development. The ability to analyze
data at levels ranging from the individual patient to the national
population could prove to be a valuable skill as students pursue their
public health careers and advanced studies.
