[Linda Detterman]

Please help spread the word about this great educational opportunity with
interested individuals at your institution.

The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following workshop,
sponsored by the National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NAHDAP/>:

*The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study Data User
Workshop: Making Nationally Representative Inferences from the PATH Study
Data*

*Dates and Location: *August 12 & 13, 2019 in Ann Arbor, Michigan
*Instructor: *Katy Edwards (Westat), Jean Opsomer (Westat)

The workshop will consist of a brief overview of the PATH Study and
detailed discussion of sample design and weights for all types of PATH
Study data files (including youth, adult, biomarker, and state identifier
data files). Participants will also gain hands-on experience working with
the data and understanding the weighted results.

The focus of this workshop will be on understanding and using the PATH
Study data files, not on a specific analytic approach. The workshop will be
a combination of lecture, discussion, and hands-on exercises.

The course is designed for academic faculty and research professionals as
well as for graduate students interested in tobacco regulatory science
and/or tobacco biomarkers of exposure. Participants should be comfortable
with data analysis software and quantitative research methods. All examples
and exercises will utilize SAS statistical software, although participants
may use the software of their choice. The workshop will include two full
days of instruction and exercises. To get the most out of the workshop,
participants should plan to attend both full days.


*Prerequisites: *Participants should have a basic understanding of
secondary data organization and manipulation, fundamental data analysis
skills, working knowledge of a statistical software package (e.g., SAS,
Stata, and R) and a substantive interest in tobacco regulatory research.

*Application:* Admission to this workshop is competitive. Enrollment is
limited. Apply using the ICPSR Summer Program portal
