*Health- and Medical Care-specific workshop in August*
One of our favorite parts of running the ICPSR Summer Program is seeing the
positive change that comes from social research (ideally thanks to learning
from us, but we get it). We're lucky to work with a ton of great, valuable,
and important archives hosted at ICPSR, and the Health and Medical Care
Archive is one of them. We're happy to welcome them back to our short
workshop schedule!

*Data to Build a Culture of Health (HMCA) *(August 4-6)
*Instructors: Carolyn Miller, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Katherine
Carman, RAND; Alyssa Ghirardelli, NORC; Megan Chenoweth, University of
Michigan*

This three-day workshop will support participants in planning and
conducting secondary data analysis using data sets from the Health and
Medical Care Archive (HMCA). Our health is greatly influenced by complex
factors such as where we live, and the strength of our families and
communities. But despite knowing this, positive change is not occurring at
a promising pace. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is working alongside
others to build a Culture of Health providing everyone in America a fair
and just opportunity for health and well-being.

Sessions will include an overview of the Culture of Health

framework
followed by an in-depth discussion of datasets using this framework:
the National
Survey of Health Attitudes
<https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/research/2019/01/2018-national-survey-of-health-attitutes.html>
and
the American Health Values Survey
<https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/research/2016/06/american-health-values-survey-topline-report.html>.
The National Survey of Health Attitudes was developed to gauge people’s
perceptions of health and measure progress toward a Culture of Health in
the United States. The American Health Values Survey was designed to better
understand the extent to which health is a shared value in the United
States and to create a typology based on health values and beliefs. Please
see the survey links for more details. The third day will focus on using
contextual measures that are theoretically derived and relevant for
clinical, social, and psychological health and healthy aging outcomes from
the National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA)
<https://seh.isr.umich.edu/signature-projects/nanda/>. Each afternoon will
include hands-on workshop sessions that include one-on-one consultation for
conducting your own research. Early career participants are especially
encouraged to apply. Participants will be using their own laptops.
