This text covers more advanced graphical summaries, One-Way ANOVA with pair-wise comparisons, Two-Way ANOVA, Chi-square testing, and simple and multiple linear regression models. Building on the basic statistical thinking emphasized in an introductory course, a second course in statistics at the undergraduate level can explore a large number of statistical methods. Introductory statistics courses prepare students to think statistically but cover relatively few statistical methods. All datasets and corresponding syntax files are available from the Open ICPSR Data Repository.
STATBOOK COLLEGE HOW TO
The book includes details on how to analyze public-use data from five common national health surveys, including the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey (NHANES). SAS software was selected because it is one of the most commonly used software programs used among public health departments and academia.

This open education resource was developed to train future public health professionals how to conduct secondary data analysis of national health surveys using SAS statistical software. National data sets provide an avenue for students to practice data analytic skills while also answering meaningful research questions.
