Use & Application of NHANES Data for Biomonitoring Studies
Katherine (Kate) Lubina, MS
PhD candidate concentrating in Epidemiology
This workshop will give an overview of how to use NHANES data, with an emphasis on environmental data, post-stratification sample weights, and complex sample design.
Since 1960 the CDC National Center for Health Statistics has conducted the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) , designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews and physical examinations. The NHANES program includes a series of cross-sectional nationally representative health examination surveys.
