The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) invites you to attend the 2012 National Conference on Health Statistics, to be held August 6–8, 2012, at the Renaissance Washington, DC, Downtown Hotel.

This biennial conference focuses on the critical importance of public health data in affecting the health and well-being of the U.S. population. The 2012 conference will emphasize current NCHS data activities and their relationship to today’s critical health issues.

Included is a one-day learning institute on August 6, in which participants will receive hands-on training for accessing and analyzing NCHS survey data and explore learning modules on the use of selected data access tools. The learning institute will be followed by the two-day main conference, during which attendees will hear from leading researchers in the fields of health, health data, and statistics.
