The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) will conduct an all-day workshop on the National Health Interview Survey at NCHS in Hyattsville, Maryland following the 2012 NCHS Conference for data users. The workshop is open to everyone. Material is targeted to both beginning and intermediate users of NHIS data. This is not a hands-on workshop.

• Overview of the National Health Interview Survey
• Questionnaire development and supplements
• Information about the sample design
• Linked data resources
• Accessing data through the Research Data Centers
• Roundtable discussions and website demonstrations
• Creating an analytic file, using weights in analyses, and multiple imputation
• Analytic examples
• Co-sponsoring supplemental questions on the NHIS
